I'd guess she's a boer...long ears / red or brown head / white body *sounds* like a boer goat. Google "boer goat pics" and take a look.

Yes, that looks like her.

I was really hoping she was a dairy goat

Do they have milk that is suitable for making cheese and soap? Everything I read talk only about meat.

She very friendly and I have been getting her used to me touching her....

I wonder if anyone on on craiglist would be willing to trade kids? She's been very good at managing the weeds.

Thanks for your help. I do apprediate it.

If she's a boer, she'll likely have small teats which may be hard to milk. That shouldn't keep you from milking her and using her milk for whatever purpose you want.

Meat goats produce milk that is as good of quality as dairy goats but they don't produce as much or as long and they tend to be harder to milk due to teat size. You have to learn to milk with your fingers and not your hand

Oh wow! thanks for the replies!!

I wish I could post a picture of her teats...I have NO experience with this other than a strong will and desire.

But, her teats dont look that small to me (but i wouldn't know one way or the other. I also have an adopted Lamb her teats are nubs.

The goats teats are 4/5 inches long.
