    It’s hard for me to choose but I love the silver, co Clair, Swiss, and Dawn was so beautiful, Bessie and Tippy well their coats are beautiful also and look so soft and cuddly. Wildee just stands out with her coat. Piper stands out also. See I waffle back and forth on the coats. You have some beautiful coats in your herd, can’t wait to see the next batch of babies. Argon, Marshall, and the full grown buck in a tiny package, will bring some surprises in coat patterns this breeding year, can’t wait.

    It was getting into goat spots, as art inspiration for my painting, that first drew me to your channel (during COVID lockdown). I fell in love with Nigerians*, and your channel, as you do such an excellent job as a teacher/host. I'm an avid follower of your channel. I would love to win your soaps because, as a single disabled person, I have not yet been able to buy them. I already follow you on Etsy. So next, it's off to email... *edit: I should have said goats, because, although I have met some lovely Nigerian people, I cannot say in truth that I fell in love with them. 🤣🤣🤣

    I'm all about the flashy 😍 Not going to compromise conformation, but if I get a good body covered in adorable colors with bright blue eyes I'm thrilled 🥰 Especially a broken chamoisee with overlay moonspots. Or a chocolate cou clair 😍

    I like chamoisee with the heavy white overlay.I love Dreamer and I think Bessie is totally adorable 😊it's too bad you can't leave her cute little top knot on for shows. Legend has just about destroyed his Elvis bangs.😢 Did you notice that he and Champ rub their heads in the same place when they are going into rut ? Male pattern balding 😅

  • @FranklineNoahK
    @FranklineNoahK Před 5 měsíci +4

    My favorite pattern would be a combination of Swiss/Chamoisee. It looks like a Chamoisee goat but has white stockings instead of black. Just google "Old Mountain Farm Bold Elk."
    In goats, the color determining region of DNA is called Agouti Locus: There are 8 possibilities. 1. Gold (Dominant). 2. Black (Recessive). The other patterns are dominant over "Black" pattern, but recessive to "Gold" pattern. They are: 3. Buckskin. 4. Chamoisee. 5. Swiss. 6. Cou Claire. 7. Sundgau. 8. Bezoar. The numbers 5-8 are generally considered to be predominant in the Swiss breed of goats. 😂
    You'll notice that genes 3-8 have both black and tan areas (bicolored goat). For example when a goat inherits a copy of Chamoise and buckskin gene. Both will be expressed. The tan areas corresponding to both genes will be expressed, but only overlapping black areas will be expressed. Hence a Buckskin/Chamoisee will look like a gold goat with a black line on their foot.

    I kina wanted to know about red goats or soild red
    Are they just a variation of black or gold. I cant tell as their shade varies from light to dark

    • @BlueCactusDairyGoats
      @BlueCactusDairyGoats  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Recessive red is a hard one to tell apart from gold in most cases. There are less variations than gold but very similar. The genes work different though. Where a gold kid born has to have a gold parent (dominant gene) the red gene is a recesive gene and both parents have to have it to pass it on to a kid. So if you have two parents with their coat patterns that aren't red and they have a "gold" looking kid, it's more than likely the recessive red gene.

    I love the Silver, Cou Blanc, Cou Clair, Chamois. All your girls are beautiful. I just recently gotten these girls, my husband came home with them trying to surprise me…oh he surprised me alright he knows NOTHING about goats and I am learning myself from you and a few other top goat owners but he knew I wanted goats and he meant well but he was lied to by the owner and not having a clue what to look for I am in a bad situation and feel STUCK!!! They were very skinny and unhealthy and still trying to get to the bottom of all their health issues…NOT EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID I WANTED GOATS!!! He got me deep into stress instead of enjoyment and not having anyone to mentor and ask questions to get answers its very frustrating!!! The only local vet we have, lets just say I seem like a professional on the side of his help!!! Facebook is only other beginners trying to ask questions just as I am so that’s no help so yea my first rodeo with having goats feels like a circus!!! Thanks for all your information you put into your content it helps people like me get a bit more answers!! God Bless You And All You Do BCDG
