I would REALLY love to have a black and white ND. We bought our first 3 ND goats last year. They have been a lot of fun despite the little stinkers escaping over the fence!- * but that is another story*

I have included a pic of the buck and the two girls that are bred- The 3rd girl ( Brown in color) we felt was not big enough weight wise to be bred.

Would you say that I could get my Black and white spotted jersey looking goat from this type of breeding....or would you say that It's not going to happen and I should go and buy the goat with the coloring that I am so in love with???


The Pregnant Girls are -

1- White and tan

2- White-black-brown

The buck is White-black-brown and shown in the first photo

The first pic looks like a dark chamoisse with white . I bred my light chamoissee with white, girl to a mostly black with a little bit of white, buck and got a very splashy black and white, cow looking boy out of it. I am not too sure about the other combos as there isn't a whole lot of black in any of the other coats.

That is what I was figuring... I need to purchase the goat with the coloring that I want because my does and this buck don't seem like they are going to give me babies with this pattern. :(

Oh well.... I'm sure that these babies from this set up will be SO adorable- It will be my first time with the birthing process and we are super excited!

Which one you want? :lol:

If you don't like any of these, I have another born on Wed I don't have a picture of yet.

Black and white has been the theme at our place this year.

Both of the does are solid black. The buck is white with black markings.

The doe with quads in the picture Coleus, her dam and sire are both from MA.

This is Rocky, the sire.

Pretty likely we'd get the white and black we have.

The kid born on Wed that I don't have a picture of is mostly black with a white tip on her tail and a white face.

I'll get pic of her today.
