They remind me of Boer x Nubians that I have seen.


I crossed my nubie to a boer this year, I hope some of the kids are as pretty as that :love:
Thats what I thought they looked like but chunkier, Look forward to pics of your kids when they are born.
What colour is she ?




Er I don't know all the proper names for the colours :-[  i'll find a pic of one that looks like her....
I think most ANs are this colour SAme as My Jill

She looks like this, but has tiny white flecks down her flanks  :love:
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Could get some nice kids.
A friend shows Anglos and she has a black Anglo billy kid with white spots
Think I may have to look into the genetics and see if there is a way to breed  the spotted Anglo coat into the Boer starting with  50% and breeding up  :-\

I thought Boers were white with brown forequarters.  I have half a one and she is very chunky.  Pure white but her mum is Sanaan.

I googled spotted boers - I think they are probably bred with AN base as colours seem very similar to the ANs and there is a resemblence to AN conformation in some of the pics I have seen.
 
Some of my 75% Boer 25% Sanaan kids are white with spots on. But I think a way to go before getting to some of the pics above!

Looking at the shape of those, Cloud is definitely more Boer in build.
