Anglo-Nubian Goat

anglonu2

The Anglo-Nubian Goat was originally created by breeding British goats with African and Indian Goats.

The Anglo-Nubian goat is a very well rounded goat  great for producing milk, meat and hide!  They don't produce a lot of milk, but since their breeding season is so long they are capable of producing milk nearly all year round.

Anglo-Nubian goats perform very well in hot climates hence they are a very good resource for dairy production in tropical regions of the world.

Their ears are very long and hang close to their heads.  Anglo-Nubians are also very large goats who are quite proud.  Anglo-Nubian goats tend to have quite short hair as well. So if you were looking for a long haired goat, this is not the goat for you!
