Also known as the Nubian goat, the Anglo-Nubian goat is known for its long, floppy ears and Roman nose. They are very affectionate and have an average milk supply.<\/p>\n\n\n

Breed Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anglo-Nubians were developed in England by crossing British goats with bucks of African and Indian origin.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • APPEARANCE<\/strong>: All Anglo Nubians have long, pendulous ears. Ideally, they will be 1 inch longer than their nose (when held flat against the face) and curled at the end. The head has a facial profile with what is called a roman nose. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The head is the distinctive breed characteristic, with the facial profile between the eyes and the muzzle being strongly convex. The ears are long (extending at least one inch beyond the muzzle when held flat along the face),  wide and pendulous. They lie close to the head at the temple and flare slightly out and well forward at the rounded tip, forming a “bell” shape. The ears are not thick, with the cartilage well defined. The hair is short, fine and glossy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • COLORING<\/strong>: <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Any solid or parti-colored coat is permitted in the Anglo-Nubian, but black, red or tan are the most common colors, any of which may be carried on combination with white. Usually there is shorter hair on the Anglo-Nubian males, particularly along the back and on the thigh, than is commonly found on the Swiss breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Any color or colors, solid or patterned, is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Distinctive features:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Ideal Climates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        As it is the best suited of the dairy goat breeds to hot conditions, the Anglo Nubian has been used in grading-up programs in many tropical countries to increase the milk and meat production of local breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Breeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Anglo Nubian breeding season is much longer than that of the Swiss breeds, so it is possible to produce milk year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n

        • Gestational average<\/li>\n\n\n\n

          Milk Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          not a heavy milk producer, but most does produce between 1\/2 gallon – 1 gallon a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Udders <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The udder of the Anglo-Nubian is capacious but is sometimes more pendulous than that of the Swiss breeds. A mature doe should stand at least 30 inches at the withers and weigh 135 pounds or over, while the males should stand at least 35 inches at the withers and weigh at least 175 pounds. The Anglo-Nubian usually gives less milk than the Swiss breeds, but produces a milk of higher butterfat content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          milk yield<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          has a high average butter fat content (between four and five percent)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Nubians are a dual-purpose goat. They are ideal for milk and meat. Therefore, they are a great option for homesteads that are off-grid or not near stores or others with whom you can barter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
