I am hoping to get some insight from fellow breeders on this matter.
I recently acquired a beautiful goat that is a Dwite Sharp doe. She has the pedigree but has a horrendous bellow in the pasture. Every time she sees us outside she is screaming for hours afterwards! She is supposed to be a multipurpose doe, packgoat breeder/Milker. She only produces a half gallon a day, small teets, but is really easy to hand milk with no stancheon needed. I can deal with low milk production and small teets but she is sooo vocal… she is an Alpine/Saanen/Oberhasli.
Now, I only have experience with one other doe who is an amazing alpine doe in every way. So maybe my new doe is just normal?
My question is; what is the likelihood her offspring will inherit the vocal genetics? I have had her for 2months now and she is welcomed into the herd by the herd.
Thanks
