they had just vaccinated them for a cough and runny nose. He is now free of cough. :) they baa every morning and are very well socialized. The whether was born July 5th and the doeling was born June 1st.
what is ironic is that the other whether we almost took, and it siblings, were born July...
I would get the nubian doe along with her papers. Nubians are the ones with long ears right? Lol
I just got 2 little NDs and they are very sweet. I like nubians, but we dont have room.
I vote nubian with papers. Its worth it if you want to sell her later because most people look to buy...
He hasnt coughed yet today, so im pretty sure he is better :)
The whether
I got a pic of his two sides. He was the only one who would show his good topline.
The doeling
I got a pic of both sides and her head
"Kids, they never stop fidgeting" lol
When we arrived, she told us someone backed out on a whether... and because he was cuter, and smaller, we of course brought him home instead. The doeling is very sweet and super healthy. The little whether still has a bit of a cough, but they were given shots last weekend and he should be over...
I would seperate the buck as soon as you can. I dont know if its the same for all goats, but nigerian bucks can be fertile as young as 7 weeks. Females arent ready until 8 months or when they reach full size. And so a buck can breed your does when they are two young and it can kill the doe. If...
A sweet thing of her is that she is giving us a whether at no extra charge. We wish he was kept in tact, he is quite gorgeous. Going to pick them up tomorrow
Well, all babies had a runny nose and cough, so they were given shots and ours should be ready this weekend. We will probably be pick her up on sunday afternoon.
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...
We are going to pick up a Nigerian Dwarf Doeling this weekend. The moms were shown at our county fair and 2/3 got Reserve and Grand Champion Dairy goat. Shs is buckskin with a white patch on her side. She is also registered and naturally polled.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated because...
You said you were getting a buck too? Please remember that until you breed your goats, does and bucks must be kept seperate. Does and whethers and bucks and whethers get along fine though. Also, please allow at least 6 months between breeding a doe.
I would get nigerians if I were you. They...
Also, a buck should stand between 19 and 21 inches tall, with some bucks allowed up to 23 inches, so I wouldnt look for the tallest one.
Look at the nigerians on this site, especially the top one on this page. They are excellent in quality, and we may buy from them.... but they are so far xD...
I dont have my goat yet, waiting on the reply, but I know what a nigerian should look like.
make sure they have a straight topline. Mostly for does, they should have a wide rump for easy births. Blue eyes is always loved, but a lot of people love unqiue colors, so its yiur choice.
then yes, I...

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...
I like boy 4 because of his straight topline. But number 3 would be blue eyed...
maybe the two not so goods could be wethered, and keep the other two intact on case you decide hes good for sale
