What kind of goats did you have? I have a few friends with Nubians who have nothing but praise for them, and they’re a breed I contemplate keeping down the line.

Boers. Your standard meat goat.

I have been around Nubians. They seem sane.

My nubians (and nubian/alpine crosses) are much more personable and sociable. I attribute it to the breed being selected for these traits, so that they will be gentle and docile on the milking stand. They're gentle and sweet.

My boers, on the other hand, don't care much for this type of relationship with people. They'll swarm you for food, sure, but they seem much more interested in goats than in people. I don't think any of them particularly like me.

I love my two nubians, they have great personalities and are very sweet but they are also known for being very vocal/loud. There have been a few Saturday mornings where I wanted to strangle them, but if loud goats isn't an issue for you, nubians are awesome.
