'nother question. . .Nubian/Alpine

[Nanno]

   

^ Allow me to present Exhibit A: Cuzco. Alpine/Nubian cross. Packgoat extraordinaire. Tall, leggy, strong, excellent stride, and the will to pack a barn up the side of Mt. Everest if I asked him. Never makes a peep.

Obviously I am completely biased, but I love the Alpine/Nubian crosses. I am breeding them now and have kept two lovely packgoat prospects and sold three others of this cross. One set of twins was loud as kids but they seemed to mostly grow out of it by about 12-18 months. Even my extremely noisy boy who I thought would never be good on the trail due to his unpleasantly loud vocalization at every tiny stress factor has suddenly found his "off" switch and I've barely heard a peep from him in four months. All the others have been quiet since they were born. I'd say definitely look into it and see if he looks he might be a good fit. Some Nubians are lazy, but none of my 1/2 Alpine crosses have been.
