All my babies are dam raised and just as friendly as if they were bottle raised, so don't let that put you off a nice goat. Saanens are big breed, but the major difference right now is probably that the Saanen was dam raised. I'm assuming your Nubian/Boer is bottle raised. That can make a big difference in size at this age. Once the Saanen is weaned his growth will slow down and I'll bet your two goats will get closer in size by next year. The Saanen will probably always be bigger because Saanens are a very tall breed. The Nubian/Boer will likely stay shorter but will probably become stockier as he matures.
