Example pairings
Goat color example pairings
Updated · How it works and sources
Start with a question about kid colors or a breeding trait. Each page shows the assumptions, the possible colors and the family questions that can narrow the odds.
- Polled goats: what is the intersex risk?
- A polled doe and a horned buck: what can their kids inherit?
- Can two gold goats have a black kid?
- Buckskin and chamoisee goats: what colors can their kids be?
- Can a goat kid show both chamoisee and Swiss markings?
- Will a moonspotted goat have moonspotted kids?
- A traditional Boer and a solid red Boer: what colors can their kids be?
What this tool covers
- Breed-aware Agouti patterns and brown pigment
- Ranges from unknown copies and deciding questions
- Polled intersex syndrome, tested traits and stated assumptions
Limits
- A color name is not a DNA result.
- A partial answer leaves unmodeled mechanisms uncalculated.
- Illustrations describe looks; they are not evidence of inheritance.
