We got into goats a little over a year ago, and in our herd of 16, 6 (yes, 6) are bucks...

Unfortunately, only one is a good quality, registered buck (a Saanen). AND, there are two sets of pretty much identical twins...

Anyways, if I can get rid of the rest of the bucks, I can get a good Nigerian Dwarf herdsire.

Assuming I can get rid of the others, these are two I found that I thought liked good (but I have limited knowledge as far as show goats go)-

The first is $400, and the second is $375. Which one is better as far as you can tell?

This is a doe who has been exposed to a (seemingly) very good buck. She is $450. Would she be a good purchase as well?

Any opinions or advice?

Thanks

I ended up purchasing Armani. He was bred to several does last fall and I retained one doe kid.

His genetics were better than what I had, but with some of the better quality kids I have bought, I am wanting a buck with a better potential on breeding up and eventually producing (hopefully) show quality kids.

I still have some time, though.

Edelweiss and Dazzle are 2 junior does I bought this year. The plan is to show them both for the 1st time this fall. They are best friends.

No! I don't know where she got those ears! Her mother was an unregistered Nigerian with normal ears and her sire was a registered Nigerian with normal ears. They're just too big for her.
