I think this is a good chart to help you decide. I have learned from those far better at this than I.. and I have followed their direction. Very few are allowed to be bucks here.. sometimes its makes me cringe to band them because they are from awesome genetics but this is the truth of it, right here.
We band a lot of boys that would make great herd sires, as we firmly believe the goat world is overrun with sub-par bucks as it is. We often band moonspotted, blue eyed, flashy boys because we just don't believe they're the best we can do for the Nigerian breed as a whole. The few boys that we keep intact are ones we are proud to put out into the world with our herd name.
