Her ears are definitely floppier than the two Alpine twins though. Her ears aren’t as long as a Nubians…but that’s because she’s got the Alpine in her.

My husband noticed something was up with the momma goat recently, but since she hasn't ever had a baby in over 3 years...we were thinking something was wrong with her... Evidently she just needed to be kept with the buck for longer than we thought. We have bred her before but she never took. The baby has the Alpine chamoisee coloring. She should make an excellent milk goat though with the Alpine and Nubian. The daddy is a black Nubian...the momma is 1/2 Alpine and 1/2 neighbor's brush goat! She's has the chamoisee (shamwahzay) Alpine colorings too. Well, we were completely not expecting this goat to kid… or I should say, most of us weren’t expecting her to.

We hope to breed our nubian goat this next fall. Timing didn't work out so well. She didn't go into heat until a few weeks ago. : ( She’s beautiful!! We hope to breed our nubian goat this next fall.
