| Anglo-Nubians were developed in
England by crossing British goats with bucks of African and Indian origin.
The Anglo Nubian is an all-purpose goat,
useful for meat, milk and hide production. It is not a heavy milk producer
but has a high average butter fat content (between four and five percent).
Their milk makes delicious yogurt, cheese, butter and ice cream.
Anglo Nubians can be readily distinguished by
their high, rounded faces, variable coloration and pattern, their short
slick coat, and long floppy ears.
Females are called nannies or does, males are referred to
as bucks, and young are called kids. Anglo Nubian goats are inquisitive and can be
vociferous.
