We have some does that are 50% Nubian. Our buck is 12% Nubian 88% Saanen. The offspring will be 75% Dairy. - 44% Saanen, 31% Nubian, 18% Boer and 7% Native
We have some that are 40% Nubian. The offspring will be 70% Dairy. - 44% Saanen, 26% Nubian, 23% Boer and 7% Native

We will line breed them back to the Saanen/Nubian buck. to produce goats in the 80+% dairy and then get a new Dairy buck to get up to 90+%. Probably a pure Nubian.
