Nubians (see Figure 3-3) are one of the most popular breeds. They have long, floppy ears and a rounded (Roman) nose, and they have been bred to be very large. Their milk has a high butterfat content, and they produce a lot of it — which makes them a good choice if you want to make cheese. Because of their large size, they make good meat goats, too.

Unfortunately, Nubians also are known for the loud, annoying cries that many of them make. The cries make them undesirable in some neighborhoods and on some farms.
