Nigerian Dwarf goat

[H Diamond]

I didn't mean she wasn't steep, just that when they stand hunchy it makes it look even worse, lol, Obviously she is very steep in the rump regardless.
If they are using the same buck for this doe as is the sire of your other doe, I wouldn't expect much improvement unless the doe you bought is super correct.
But again, unless you want to show more than showmanship, it's not that big of deal.

I was just looking at the rump angle in the picture is

Pick a warm day/time when she won't be cold. Set up her legs so they are squarely under her with her back legs slightly spread apart. You'll get a better idea. Also, just watch her walk, you can tell if she's steep or closer to level. Here is the ideal to strive for: http://playritefarm.webs.com/DoeIdealSide.JPG and rear: http://playritefarm.webs.com/IdealDoeRear.JPG.w560h739.jpg
Let me just say that there is nothing wrong with your goat. A goat that doesn't live up to the "ideal" can and most often will be (unless it has some type of really bad conformational problem that affects daily life) a perfectly functioning member of your herd. Sometimes I think we get to caught up in striving for perfect and forget about the other important parts of raising goats. Until you want to start spending the money for registered stock from GOOD REUPTABLE herds, you will get goats that have steep rumps, or that toe out, or hock in, or have less than ideal udder conformation, or are an inch too tall and so on.... but those goats will be just fine and serve their purpose as a wonderful companion and give you lots of yummy milk. Now if you do want to start showing and get "serious" lol, notice I emphasized a good reputable breeder. There are a lot of Nigerian Dwarves out there that are registered stock that look just like the one you own. They became hugely popular, so people started breeding fr quantity and not quality. So, moral of the story, if you are ready to spend the money on registered stock, don't get taken just because they have those registration papers. Not all registered = quality and not all unregistered = non quality.
