Thanks for joining us in today's video! UPDATE: I made an error on Raven's -- if she's chocolate then she *has* to have two copies of the black gene, she couldn't carry the buckskin gene at all. If you want to learn more about Nigerian Dwarf colors & patterns you can read here: tiramardairygoats.com/nigerian-dwarf-colors/
there has to be a gene that contained pigment for example in dogs its e or E that control pigmint showing along with modifer's meaning there has to be a modifer for the coats probably a wider ranged one for the base color
Once they give birth in the spring you should do an updated version on the babies and say what they are as well. This run through of how genotypes and phenotypes work is truly fascinating!
@@Weedemandreap we just had a baby goat born this morning and she is a really odd color, her mom is swiss and her dad is what I call red sable, she is more of a cream sable, what color could she be?
On today's episode: punnett squares! Thank you for making this, it was both fun and educational! I feel like this will probably be super helpful for someone who's taking a biology course now, but might be struggling to understand it. Sometimes having a real world connection that you're interested in can make all the difference. 😊
Biologist here: this video is amazing! This should be used in biology classes when the topics of heredity and dominant and recessive genes is used! Easy to understand, fun and informative. WELL DONE !
I was a bio major. This was a wonderful explanation! I’m excited to see the outcome. You’ll have to reference this video when they kid, to see which prediction came to be.
you can clearly see the amount of effort put into this video and it made the video that much more enjoyable to watch! loved this content and hope to see another one next breeding season!!
LOVED this! so interesting and you make it so easy to understand! ive been watching you for 4 years now, love your content, and excited for the baby rush!
As a genetics nerd that has been following this channel for a good while now, this is so interesting to learn! Never thought I would dive into goat genetics yet here I am xD Lovely video! Love me some theories on what the babies will look like! 👀
I love, love, loved this video! I think genetics are so fascinating and it was fun to see all of the potential combinations you could end up with! Can't wait until kidding season :)
Thank you for sharing goat genetics with us! That is so cool! I thought that black for sure would have been a dominant trait but you showed me otherwise. The black gene in goats sort of reminds me of the orange gene in cats (you must have two cats with the ginger gene [or the female is a calico/tortie] in order to produce ginger kittens). What would you say the rules are for the white gene in goats? Would it be the same as the black gene where both the parents need to have white to express it, or does it only need to come from a single goat that expresses that gene?
There is actually no such thing as a white Nigerian dwarf. White is like a bleaching over the actual pattern. A goat that looks completely white is technically gold with an “extensive white overlay”. Normally as they age you can see faint hints of gold through the white coat. And the gold color is dominant so a gold goat can carry an of the other patterns and throw kids that look completely different from them.
White is like an over lay, its dominant like the blue eyes but the level of white depends if they got it from both parents, if from both then there will be much more white as they have double white and therefore all their offspring would always have some white
That looked like so much fun maybe I’ll try to do that one day, it would be fun to learn about my goat’s genes and kind of guess what the babies will look like. Thank you for always posting a videos it makes my day to see you work through and care for your sweet goats! 😄
I love the goats so much! On a previous video I said I wanted to purchase a goat from y’all in the future and that still holds true. You and Blue Cactus Dairy Goats have inspired me to (in the future) get my own little herd of dairy goats and potentially even showing. I want to be a veterinarian so I’m learning all about different traits of animals!
I wish you the best! Goats are one of the hardest animals to contain, care, and they are very very expensive to keep. Copper, selenium, probios, kidding equitment, hay, tack, milkstand, fencing, antibiotics, shots, CD+T, and on and on and on. And all that is very pricy. So be prepared! having goats isn't a holiday, in fact you can't hardly go anywhere. And PLEASE don't get them and then give them away for free!!!! It is ruining the goat market. I can't sell my very high quality kids for as much as usual, why would people buy them when they can get them for free? Good luck with your animals! Best wishes!
What a fun and educational video!!! I hope you do more of these through the years with each of your breeding seasons, can’t wait to see how cute the babies will look!!
As a person who's working on her own fantasy world with many species that do not exist in the real world, this was great education for me. I've struggled with school due to year-long absences and have missed out on a lot, so I've been trying to get back into studying so that I can be confident with the logic in every species' biology + genetics and stuff for designs and mixed breeds.
It gets more complicated when you get into co-dominant genes and the fact that some genes aren't compatible with each other but genetics is such a fun topic.
Really enjoyed this video! I’m such a genetics nerd but most of my knowledge is in equine genetics, so it was super interesting to learn more about goat genetics. So excited to see the colours of the upcoming kids 🤩
This was an interesting video. I remeber studying dominant and recessive genes in humans in my high school biology class. It was interesting to find out how it works with goats. Wishing your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
This was really interesting for me! I want to be a vet. I just find genetics so interesting!! You will definitely have some amazing Kids this coming season!
This has been one of my favorite episodes! I’m so interested in color genetics and it was fascinating to see it all laid out like this! I’m so excited to see what y’all get! Watch the recessive black make a strong showing😂 that would be hilarious. Hope you get a chocolate gold! Wonder how the white spotting is going to play out in all this
Really fun and interesting video. It's fascinating learning how many combinations and possibilities there are for all the animals. Thanks for sharing your herd genetics with us. ☺
Wow, that brought flashbacks of 10th grade biology, lol. I think we were doing charts for Guinea pigs. That was fun! Are there any color combos that have a tendency toward certain health issues? Genetics are fascinating.
This was great. You really formatted the information well. I would LOVE to see you do the same thing once the babies are born but show what you actually got. What a great teaching tool. Thank you! Also would love to see a new video on what plants did well and where in and around the pond. Just to finish off that "series". You gave such great content for potential pond builders but the only area where it could use improvement was a followup on the plants and maybe other tricks you've learned. Thanks for considering my suggestion and Happy Holidays!
thank you for sharing this! animal color genetics is one of my autistic special interests and goats were one that I was struggling to find information for!
Great explanation of the genetics. Can't wait to see the results. Maybe you could post the results next to the predictions , that would be interesting.
DaNelle, this was such an awesome and informative video!!! I learn so much from you all year long, and I appreciate it every day!!! Thanks for always making such great videos. Can't wait for those bellies to get bigger!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Wow! What a mixture of potential babies! This was a great vid to see the possible colors. I would be neat to see end of delivery to do a comparison of the results to predictions. Ty❤

I looked for. Video but what happened to fern?
there has to be a gene that contained pigment for example in dogs its e or E that control pigmint showing along with modifer's meaning there has to be a modifer for the coats probably a wider ranged one for the base color
My question as Buckskin is a pattern can they pass on the light color without the buckskin pattern?

Yes! Please make a video in the spring comparing these punnet squares to the kid colors. ❤️
Thanks for the genetic lesson. Spring will be fun. Enjoy your holiday weekend.
I’m so excited for the baby goats 😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😅😅😊😊
Same!
you can clearly see the amount of effort put into this video and it made the video that much more enjoyable to watch! loved this content and hope to see another one next breeding season!!
i must say! Prim is my fav in coloring! She soooo beautiful!
i loved this. never heard it explained so well. thx
LOVED this! so interesting and you make it so easy to understand! ive been watching you for 4 years now, love your content, and excited for the baby rush!
This video is so interesting! I'm definitely going to keep this video next to the 2023 birth video's and compare!
So cool,i love this. Pls do more often
Thank you for doing the pairings this way, Danelle. It was easy to follow. I learned a lot today. 💕🙏🏻
Wow! Thank you so much for breaking down the genetics of each of the goats! This was so fascinating! So excited for babies again!🎉
As a biology major I loved this video.
Very interesting color combinations. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all
As a genetics nerd that has been following this channel for a good while now, this is so interesting to learn! Never thought I would dive into goat genetics yet here I am xD
Lovely video! Love me some theories on what the babies will look like! 👀
So fun! I loved this video with the breakdowns. It’s so fun to learn about the genetics. ❤
I think this is one of my favorite videos you have done! So fun to see what combos you might end up with! ❤
What a fun video!! Thank you for sharing this
I love, love, loved this video! I think genetics are so fascinating and it was fun to see all of the potential combinations you could end up with! Can't wait until kidding season :)
Thanks for making this so much easier to understand
I’m most excited about dollys babies because of all the genetics but I’m still excited for the rest of the babies too
I love all the combos and broken buck skins! So cute
I love your channel, you guys, and your animals. I’m so excited to see the babies in the spring❤
Absolutely loved the science lesson 🥰 needs to be a thing every breeding season
Yes I totally agree

@@qtcourtney6 👍 👍 Gold color can vary from Red Gold like Reba to a light cream color. Gene for White (Saanen) is not present in Nigerian!
White is like an over lay, its dominant like the blue eyes but the level of white depends if they got it from both parents, if from both then there will be much more white as they have double white and therefore all their offspring would always have some white
I really love your channel I've watched you since willow was born so excited for these babies x
This was soo fun and interesting! Thank u for this!
This was so intresting and fun to see! Thank you!
Working with genetics is always so fun. It makes it better when you know the goats that are in the equation!
very interesting thank you for teaching us!
This is amazing!!!! I’ve been wanting a video with the different coats and patterns ! You explained it so well ❤
Today is my Birthday!! And the genetics are so cool i cant wait to see the little bady goats!🤩🤩🤩
I can't wait for baby goats!
Fascinating genetics refresher
i appreciate the upload, i just had to put my 5yr old dog down before her 6th birthday.
gene talk is one of my favorite conversations to have.
That looked like so much fun maybe I’ll try to do that one day, it would be fun to learn about my goat’s genes and kind of guess what the babies will look like. Thank you for always posting a videos it makes my day to see you work through and care for your sweet goats! 😄
Thank you for all the time and energy you spent in this video.
loved this episode...had fun ❤
Thanks for making this vid, my nubian doe is coming back from the breeder soon!
So informative and amazing got to learn a lot loved the video great job guys can't wait to see those cute babies ...

Yay!! I love genetics videos! Always neat to calculate what might happen in offspring. More of these in the future please!
Wow! Interesting and beautifully laid out.
Absolutely loved this video ! I have been watching for years and always love learning about the history of the goats every now and then
So much work to figure these combos ….. regardless of colors can’t wait to see the babies
Why are you better at explaining things than my Biology teacher
What a fun and educational video!!! I hope you do more of these through the years with each of your breeding seasons, can’t wait to see how cute the babies will look!!
I can't wait for all the lil babbies! 🤩🥰❤
That was fun and interesting!
i’m so excited to see the baby goats 🎉🎉🎉 I hope Reba or Dollie have a chocolate/gold baby. That is a nice color
Same!
This video was great! Loved seeing the possible combinations of what the kids will look like. Exciting.
Happy Thanksgiving to your whole family including the animals

This was a very fun video, I really appreciate the example babies to show what the colors could look like. I hope you do one for each breeding season!
Well damn this was a fun video to watch! I've never been super into genetics but now I might be hahaha

I’m excited for you to name the new babies, that aren’t here yet!!
I love this! So much hard work went into it and it’s so enjoyable to watch!
4:34 Prim is my favorite design❤ clean & luxury !
Very nice, what a color combo u can have. Thank U 4 sharing, really enjoyed ur vid.😀😉❤
Really enjoyed this video! I’m such a genetics nerd but most of my knowledge is in equine genetics, so it was super interesting to learn more about goat genetics. So excited to see the colours of the upcoming kids 🤩
This is so neat! Thank you for sharing! Love how you showed it all broken down. Was so easy to follow along!
I think all the babies are going to be so cute!!!
This is so cool, I have been doing genetics and inheritance in biology at the moment and this has actually really helped out
This was an interesting video. I remeber studying dominant and recessive genes in humans in my high school biology class. It was interesting to find out how it works with goats. Wishing your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
One of my favorite videos:)
This was really interesting for me! I want to be a vet. I just find genetics so interesting!! You will definitely have some amazing Kids this coming season!
the explanation was so perfect. i’m so excited!!
Let's go teaching Punnett Squares! Great visuals, great sound accompaniment, and great video!
Would love to see us come back to this after the babies are born! Such an interesting video! Love the science of goats!!
I’m so glad you made this video. I’ve been really curious about the genetics of goats and this was so fun and informative.
Pleaseeee do more videos like this in the future!!! Loved this!
What a great video !! The powerpoint was fantastic! (or whatever editing tool you use). Very informative and easy to understand!! GREAT JOB!!
This has been one of my favorite episodes! I’m so interested in color genetics and it was fascinating to see it all laid out like this! I’m so excited to see what y’all get!

This was an excellent presentation 🤠 A+
Wow the babies are going to being so cute , your videos have taught me so much about goat genetics.
Great explanation of the genetics. Can't wait to see the results. Maybe you could post the results next to the predictions , that would be interesting.
You should come back to this when the babies are born
DaNelle, this was such an awesome and informative video!!! I learn so much from you all year long, and I appreciate it every day!!! Thanks for always making such great videos. Can't wait for those bellies to get bigger!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
That was fascinating! Thank you for all the work you put into that, though I know you love it.
I can’t wait till the spring and to see what colours you get. Looking at what you have predicted it’s going to be fun. Love your vlogs. xxxxxxx❤
I love your knowledge of all of this!! Great video!!
How exciting! I love genetic possibility videos. The perfect way to round off breeding season.
Phew! Science on a Wednesday. Excited to see the kids varieties ☺️ good luck ladies 🤗
Wow! What a mixture of potential babies! This was a great vid to see the possible colors. I would be neat to see end of delivery to do a comparison of the results to predictions. Ty❤
Wow that was honestly so impressive to watch! I CAN'T WAIT for this year's babies!!!
You are so kind!
