Please help me find out about our goats breed!

[Nikki Chen]

Hi everyone, couple years ago we bought 3 goats and they were said to be Nigerian Drawf. Last week, some neighbors came to visit us and they saw the goats and they said they were fainting goats, not Nigegian Drawf. We are so confused now, we have no idea. We raise goats for fun so we are not really good at farming. We have a lot of them and we want to sell some. Do you know about the price as well? Please help us figure it out. Thank you! (Sorry about my English)

They look mixed to me. So probably a bit of Nigerian, some boer, and some dairy goat.

Not all fainting goats faint though either...

They are not Nigerians.
They might have had some mixed in somewhere up the line (waaay up the line) but they look much closer to fainting or fainting mixes. Perhaps some Boer, but not much as they don't really have the body structure of Boers.

How many bucks did You keep?

Is that question for me?
I had a herd of ADGA registered Nigerians and over the course of time quite a few different Bucks. Some born through my breeding program and others from purchases.
For my ADGA Oberhasli herd I brought in a buck from FL and used his genetics as well as took my does out to other farms for breeding to keep my lines strong.
I bred for good dairy traits so had defined goals for my breeding program but did not shy away from purchasing does that had been bred to Boers because it was common practice in that area.

Thank you, I guess the seller was telling lie.
