I too have boers and percentages, there is a good market just starting up around here in Minn. for fullblood but most that I know have percentages in this area. Thats is mostly what they want is percentage nannies and fullblood bucks to start there herd. some unwanted traits would be poor reproductive such as kidding late, produce or raise low numbers of kids, poor gain compared to other goats in your herd, poor feet or legs, lower jaw that is too short or too long (over bite under bite) poor growth or samll body size. Those are most of the poor traits that I can think of. Sounds like you may just need to advertise might be suprised and depends on which part of the country you live. Good luck!
