But it is the market. If I have 3 does all giving 2 qts per day all good structure and their kids are all relatively equal... people will pick Blue eyes over brown everytime. I like brown myself but that isn't what most want and the polled gene for some is important if they do not want to do much disbudding.
I personally don't find the polled gene to be much of an advantage.

With there being soooooo many Nigies and a lot of really good ones out there it isn't like there are slim pickins.

Same as color... no maybe not important in one respect but people like what they like and we have had clients that hate a black goat or any black on a goat... some white NO white... last year everyone wanted white... ya never know.

I have so many Chamoisee Lamancha's and Mini's that truth is I want some other colors. I can certainly find great genetics, great milkers that are a different color and that doesn't mean I am not caring about their overall productivity and confirmation.

Variety is fun!

Yeah, but some people just want pets.
I know many that have been breeding for years and there are those that would love to have polled genetics. Doesn't make a person uneducated about what they want or are looking for. But we all have ways that we deal with people. I recently talked with a person wanting just that- polled and blue eyed... after talking about the polled genetics they changed their mind and realized it may not be as advantageous as they thought. Referred them out to another breeder.
