Farmlady - ...Thank you all for your kind comments!<br /><br />Farmlady - Yes, the Boer/Nubian does I have are pretty good milkers. They do not produce as much as my purebred Nubians but produce more than enough milk to make it worth the effort of milking them. <br /><br />The reason I think our Boer/Nubian crosses make good dual purpose goats is that the Boer typically has an even higher butterfat to their milk than Nubians do. (problem is most purebred Boers don't produce much extra milk and have tiny, hard to milk teats so the cross ups the milk production and puts easier to milk teats on them while the Boer part puts more muscling on their market kids making them better for the freezer) Great milk for cheese making! I think they make great dual purpose goats and are good for homesteads.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696462107978805035.post-62850474485285254132010-05-19T06:11:16.552-05:002010-05-19T06:11:16.552-05:00What a wonderful look at a few quiet moments in yo...What a wonderful look at a few quiet moments in your hectic life.
