If I ever get sheep for meat I will be getting Dorpers. For my region I might need to do Dorper/Katahdin cross.

@Baymule you need to visit lots of farms farms and see what breed fits you! But I'm a sucker for Nigerian Dwarfs and Lamanchas and Alpines and Nubians and Mini's and some Oberhasli's and the list goes on!

Would you need dairy goats?

How much milk would you need in a day? Do you want to make cheese and soap? Would you rather deal with smaller goats such as mini's or Nigi's, or larger goats?

This may help narrow down the breed of goat that fits you.

Oh, you don't have to stick with one breed of goat... why not several? ;)
