I'm glad this thread is going because my ram bred my nigerian dwarf goat last month right before my eyes, but I was too embarrassed to ask if she could conceive. I'll let y'all know in about four months if we have "geep" or "shoat".

The conclusion to the question seemed to be that if there was any chance of conception it would be between a Doe (female goat) and a Ram (male sheep) As you said the odds of it successfully carrying to birth are very slim. More often the Doe would abort. Also the offspring would likely be sterile. (FYI- I ran my Togg X Nubian Doe with a bunch of young rams for months, and she hasn't had a "geep". And I 'm sure that they tried to breed her- In fact one ram was totally 'in love' with her LOL ) Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
