What breed is Nicky and Sherman?

[racuda]

Greetings goat people!

Nicky and Sherman are about 3 1/2 months old now. From looking at pictures of different breeds I'm guessing that Nicky is a Saanen mix and Sherman is a LaMancha mix. What do you think?

Nicky might even be full Saanen. Adorable kids there. I'd say your guesses are spot on.

And i agree that You are probably correct.

My wife "surprised" me by picking them up at the flea market, so I thought they were most likely mixes. They are both wethers, and their genetics does really matter, but I was just curious what they were.

I wonder if there are personality differences between LaMancha and Saanen? These two are certainly different from each other.

Yeah you guessed pretty well

I agree w/ the Saanen possibly being pure and will go one better by saying the brown one is a Nub x LaMancha....a bit of a roman nose and it just 'looks' like a Nubian head to me.

Welcome! They are beautiful goats. I hope things are going well with them.

The white one is Saanen, and the tan is LaMancha mixed with something, I'm thinking Nubian by the gray muzzle and lack of the dished face normal in the LaMancha.
