History of the Anglo-Nubian Dairy Goat
of New Zealand

IN THE BEGINNING...

The Anglo-Nubian, is a man made breed. The Anglo-Nubian was created crossing the common English goat with "exotic" bucks from Africa and India. The name Nubian is associated with the long, droopy ears and convex nose of this type of animal and actually has nothing to do with the location of where the animals was imported from.
The name "Nubian" originated in France. Three animals of this type were imported into England before the English begun their Anglo-Nubian breeding program. Aida and Arabi Pasha went to England from France in 1878, and Ali Baba followed in 1891. It was thought that these early animals might be a combination of Zaraibi and Syrian, and they did not play an important role in the creation of the modern Anglo-Nubian except to contribute to their name.
 

 

'Sedgemere Chancellor'– a Young Jumna Pari, imported into the U.K in 1896, one of the four “exotic” bucks from which the Nubian Breed evolved. Jumna Pari was bred for meat and milk in India.

 

 

 

From the end of the nineteenth century goats were carried on P & O steamers on their return voyage to provide a fresh supply of milk for the passengers, including infants. When the ships docked in London the lop-eared, ' Roman' nosed Eastern goats were eagerly bought by interested goat keepers. The term "Nubian" goats was used to describe any goats from the Near, Middle or far East that had the typical appearance of the Jumna Pari breed from India and the Zairaibi breed from Egypt. 

By 1896 the Anglo-Nubian was recognized as a breed with only four imported goats, all males, being recognized, two from India. The description of these goats, according to the British Goat Society Herd Book, are as follows:

·          No.1. Sedgemere Chancellor. Nubian (Jumna Pari) Horned. Imported 1896.
