Nubian
goats are the Jersey's of the goat world and produce delicious
high-cream content milk, though they produce less milk in volume than
the other milk goat breeds.
They're tall, graceful goats with a roman nose and long pedulous ears.
The mature doe can reach about 30 inches and 135 pounds, and the buck
about 36 inches and 175 pounds. They're tall and slender, and a bit
bony, as most dairy animals are. A healthy goat has a shiny coat and
bright, alert eyes. Nubian goats do have horns, however, they are
usually removed within seven days after birth.
They are curious, friendly animals, and like
attention - which make them ideal for people like me who like to shower
their animals with a lot of affection 0:) I have heard that
the males, or "billies" are very mean. However, I haven't had this
experience. My bucks are actually very sweet.

A goat's gestation is approximately five months,
and each doe can have
anywhere from one to three kids for each pregnancy - which means, one
can have quite a sizeable herd in a year with only a few does to start
with.
