Beautiful! My new buckling shave similar colorings with the silvery tones...I just love it! Can’t decide if I’m going to keep one as a buck...they are pretty big! :( The first one, is 17lbs, and he’s 5wks... Mom is a big ND and Planer goat mix...

He is handsome! Love his ears! He is a big boy!

I’ve spoken to a few other breeders I know and they told me that they have that color all the time and they usually stay black so I will be sending his papers in! 😁

Thanks @OneFineAcre i learn something new every day!

I think a "roan" has white hair interspersed among dark hair and and with an "agouti" each hair follicle is white and dark colored.. I think that's how it is.
:)

Roan is usually associated with horses and cows.

Thank you, I know in horses the roan is like you said white hair interspaced with dark hair, I don’t know anything about “agouti” except what I’m learning from you! Thanks!

Ok...what does that mean?

Agouti is a type of fur coloration in which each hair displays two or more bands of pigmentation. As a result, the overall appearance of agouti fur is usually gray or dull brown, although dull yellow is also possible.

Roan is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points"—lower legs, mane and tail—are mostly solid-colored. Horses with roan coats have white hairs evenly intermingled throughout any other color.

Ok, another question, I have this one kid, ND...her coat is solid white, but thick like a Siberian husky’s. Her mom’s is not that way at all. Didn’t see the buck. Is there a specific name for that? Is this just her winter coat?
