Variety of goats

Posted by Tammy on April 30, 2010 at 11:38pm in Goats 101

 

Does anybody know if you can put nigerian dwarf goats and nubian goats together? I know that there is a size difference.  I would love to mix the nigerian with 1/2 nubian to make a mini nubian.  Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Tammy

    My Nigerians live with la manchas, and I know other people who have different breeds living together. If you want them to breed, however, you will have to "help" unless the doe is under a year. So far, the only mini mancha I had was when the doe was about eight months old. I've left them with bucks for several months and had no luck. And if you want to cross them, the doe must be the bigger one, so you'd use a ND buck with a Nubian doe. I know people who've done the opposite with deadly results.
