Completion

About a week ago, we bought two more nanny goats. We needed a couple more to complete our herd. These two that we bought are Nubian cross. Nubian goats are dual purpose breeds but tend to be used more for their milk than meat. Since they are not full blood nubian it is hard to know if they will be useful as milk goats or not. We think it would be nice to have a dairy goat at some point in order to have some goat milk. Who knows, maybe one of these will turn out to be a good milker. They seem to be really nice goats so far. One cool thing about these two is their coloration. Here are some pics.

My favorite is the black one with brown markings, her coloring is really cool.


Here is a close up of the black one.
