NUBIAN
The Anglo-Nubian, or just Nubian, as it's called in the U.S., was
developed from native milking Great Britain stock, & goats from
North Africa & the Middle East. They have distinguishing characteristics
that include a "Roman" nose & LONG, pendulous ears. Due to their
Middle-east heritage, they can survive in very hot climates, & they
have the longest breeding season of any dairy goat. Anglo-Nubians
are considered a dual purpose goat, for meat & dairy. Their milk is
known for it's high butterfat content, but on average, Nubians
produce less milk than other dairy breeds.
In my personal & professional opinion, Nubians are one of the
SWEETEST natured breed of dairy goat around.. Although
they can be a little bossy & vocal at times :-) The droopy ears
give them such a sweet, innocent look..
