Yes. Nubians are classfied as dairy goats known for their milk quality. They do not have as much meat as a meat goat but any goat can be eatten. Just like Gernesy and holsteins are known as dairy cows while others such a herfords and angus are known as beef cows. This does not mean you can not eat a dairy cow - just less meaty.
The Nubian Desert is named for the Nubian people an ethnic group originally from northern Sudan, and southern Egypt. The "Nubian" name and "Anubis" do not have much of anything to do with each other.

Your doe will wander away from the herd to find a quiet place to kid. She will most likely be uncomfortable and stretch, yawn and get up/lie down a lot. The doe may start staring into space and stretching her head around to her side to "talk" to her kids. When it gets much closer, she will start having discharge that looks stringy and clear and will probably (not always) lie down to push. You can also tell by feeling for ligaments by the tail--when these ligaments are very soft, kidding is within 12 hours.

In the the south of modern day Egypt and north of modern day Sudan. Majority of nubia is in Sudan, and much of nubia has been lost to dams such as the Aswan damn built by Egypt.
Definitly nubian it is MUCH higher in buttermilk fat content
A goat doesn't produce cheese. It produces milk, in which cheese is made. The process of milking a goat is similar to that of cows, but on a much smaller scale. The cheeses made with goats milk are much easier to achieve than that made from cows milk. A sheep doesn't produce cheese but there are certain breeds of sheep that you can milk and from this milk cheese can be produced.
Nope. Only the doe and her genetics is responsible for how her udder will form and how much milk she will produce.
If the goat has a kid that nurses no. If the goat just gave birth and the kid is gone it is best to milk the goat or she will experience a lot of pain due to milk in the udders. You need to milk her twice a day. Goat milk is very good to drink.
She should dry off naturally. She shouldn't continue to produce milk if there is no demand. In the case of a dairy breed, you may need to milk her and gradually diminish how much milk you draw until she dries out.
An average dairy goat will give 1,083 lbs of milk per lactation.
Nothing its like cow milk
You can use a goat to raise an orphan foal, at least partially. However, the goat may not produce enough milk as the foal grows and there is a difference in the amount of fat in the milk of goat and horse. Also, it gets tough for the foal to nurse from the tiny goat as it grows. You may prefer to milk out the goat and feed the foal by hand. I would suggest that you feed at least partially with a mare's milk supplement available from your feed store to make sure the foal gets the proper nutrition. Leave the goat in with the foal. Goats make lovely companions for horses and your foal needs a companion as much as milk.
because it was light to drink

Goat Aid Oxfam is a project set up to help less well off families in Africa. You pay £25 pounds and then this means a family in Africa receive a goat this goat will produce milk, butter and milk. These things to us may seem like not very much but to a poor family in Africa this is a lot they may also have kids and then they can sell some of the kids and this means they have a small income helping support the family.
Goat milk, like cow's milk and human milk, contains lactose, many people with lactose intolerance can drink goat milk. Why? It has been hypothesized that the reason lies in goat milk's superior digestibility. Goat milk is more completely and easily absorbed than cow's milk, leaving less undigested residue behind in the colon to quite literally ferment and cause the uncomfortable symptoms of lactose intolerance. It may also be that the patient is not lactose intolerant at all, but instead is one of the 1-in-10 people who are allergic to the major protein of cow's milk ... alpha S1 casein protein. The symptoms are almost identical to those of lactose intolerance. Both goat milk and human milk lack this offending protein. The digestibility of goat milk can be attributed to its casein curd, which is both softer and smaller than that produced by bovine milk. The smaller and softer the curd, the more easily accepted by the human digestive system. Another significant difference between cow's milk and goat milk is found in the composition and structure of fat. The average size of goat milk fat globules is about two micrometers, as compared to 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 micrometers for cow's milk
