Hi all,
I'm new to goat farming and inherited a purebred nigerian dwarf buck and two mini alpine does. They are registered and their papers say the ND buck is pure and the females are 50% ND and 50% alpine. My understanding is that the does are first generation F1 mini alpine. Is this correct? My confusion lies in their offspring when bred with the ND buck. Crossing a mini alpine with a pure ND buck creates what exactly? Is that a 2nd generation mini alpine? I've read all the information on the MDGA page, and I'm still so confused on how the genetics and generations work. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
