It would depend on whether she wants to show in meat or dairy. Meat goats are Boer, Kiko and Pygmy. Dairy are Nubian, Lamacha, Alpine, Sannan, Togenburg, (I left a few off).
Meat goats do not have to be registered to show in the meat classes, but she would stand a better chance if they were...
Animal crackers, goats love them. Give him one each day in his feed, then offer him one from your hand. Both of our blubbering idiots are crazy about animal crackers.
I can hardly wait till I get my dogs. We are getting the black one, male whose name is Austin, and the white one, female whose name is Tammy, with the red collar. They are just 1 week old in this picture taken yesterday. I will get them when they are 4 months old. I am leaving them with the mom...

I have no clue as to the cross though, as their muzzle is on the narrow side and they do not have the dark Cleopatra markings around their eyes that full...
My friend raises dual purpose Nubian dairy goats. She breeds her does to a Boer buck. Sells the kids for meat and has plenty of milk for herself. To me that is what is ment by dual purpose dairy goats.
We cut some oak trees for our neighbor, loaded the brush on our trailer and hauled it to the middle of our field, the goats ran behind the trailer like DH had ice-cream on it. They were munching on leaves as he was pulling the brush off. Now the limbs are stripped bare.

Could this be the one you are talking about?
Good fly catchers in the barn here, they work well with our traps.

Our farm name got its name cause DH said one day about our pond. "That is a lazy pond, it just sets there and does not move". When we had to come up with a herd registration we chose ANLPF, which stands for Al and Nancy's Lazy Pond Farm.
