Cris Waller of Foxcroft Nigerian Dwarf Goats wondered why people said the coloring of ND goats was unpredictable. From that curiosity, a research project was devised. In this paper, reprinted by Buffalo Creek Farm, Waller breaks down the color pattern combinations found in goats, ND goats specifically, in an attempt to clarify why one goat is one color while a related goat is a different color altogether. If you’d like to try to breed for a particular color pattern, this is a good place to start your research.
Oh your foxcroft nigerian genetics web pages and color pics is no longer available, I am new to NDG and I used that as reference and understanding colors/genetics all the time. I am so dissappointed it was great!
