saw this add on hoobly, updated recently. I really like her, she is registered, and cheap. Only $250, and we might ask if they could breed her. I dont know if we will buy her or not, but I want to know if she looks okay for show and breeding.
My iffyness came with her topline, her shoulder and rump was even, but it sagged in the center. On the other hand, we are needing a closeby companion for a doeling we will be buying, and we are already paying $ 350 for her, registered with a champion mom at our county fair. If we could sell her babies if she gets bred, we could easily earn our money back.

so what do you think? Her colors are beautiful, and she has blue eyes, something we are looking for.
her rump slightly slopes and her backline is for the most part, straight. She is $250, can be bred, and the price doesnt change for what I see. She , I think, has moonspots and a wide rump.

She looks fine to me.

Hard to really judge one from a picture. You should go and look at her, and watch her walk.

I definitely would not be concerned about her rump angle. All nigerians are going to have a steeper rump angle than standards.

You do want to see a level top line, especially on a younger animal. I do see what you mean about her back. All that means to me is that she probably wouldn't have won a Jr. Chamionship. But, a lot of goats that win a Jr. Championship don't do anything when they come into milk.
Remember, no animal is perfect. She may have such a fantastic udder when she's a 3 year old. :thumbsup

Ok. I dont think we have the money to buy her. We are really struggling right now, but so far, ive gained 40 dollars for my goat. 20 bucks from some rich guy we were supposed to "give " our rooster to. And 20 bucks in two lottery tickets. The rest inwill pay in my own savings so... 240 of 350 paid for :( there goes my savings for a companion goat for her xD


i mean the goat we are going to pick up.
