Anglo Nubian Ram |
|
Anglo Nubian Female |
The Anglo-Nubian has very long, pendulous ears that
hang close to the head. The Anglo-Nubian carries a decidedly Roman nose and is
always short-haired.
The Anglo Nubian is an all-purpose goat, useful for
meat, milk and hide production. It is not a heavy milk producer but has a high
average butter fat content (between four and five percent).

British Alpine Male |
|
British Alpine Female |
The
British Alpine should have a black coat with white "Swiss" markings
on its head, legs and around its tail. The
female's short, shiny, black coat set into relief by the contrasting white
markings can make it a most attractive breed.
British Alpines are
excellent milkers, well known for their extended lactations. These goats have good-sized teats, which allow
easier milking. They are a good producer
of high-quality milk.
