| Welcome to our page devoted to our Nubian dairy goats. We selected Nubians for their rich, sweet and creamy milk which is high in butterfat; and admittedly we just love those ears! We have 4B, Kastdemur, Kris'Kids, and Saada genetics in our herd. Our journey along the path to herd improvement has been one of education, sometimes hard-won, and we continue to learn. We owe a great deal to other breeders of fine Nubians for sharing their advice, wisdom, and expertise. Our goal is to breed big, elegant, correct Nubians with good dairy character; capacious, well-attached udders; and the classic Nubian temperament. While most goat breeders will admit that there is no such thing as a perfect goat, we think we have the temperament part down pat...our regal, bossy girls run the show. Another trait we look for is the ability to efficiently utilize browse. Our goats are pastured full time, and we expect them to do well with little supplemental feeding. Milking does receive a grain mix with added sunflower seed. Salt blocks, block and loose minerals, and baking soda are available free choice. Feed is adjusted as needed for growing kids, bucks in rut, etc., to maintain good condition and weight gain. We are working toward maintaining a closed herd. We will add new bucks as needed to improve our lines; and would probably not turn down the chance to acquire an outstanding doe or two! Doe kids are separated at birth whenever possible and hand raised; bucklings may be left with the does. Kids are disbudded at approximately 1 week of age. We plan to begin yearly CAE testing in the near future. Our goats receive CDT vaccinations and are treated for parasites based upon FAMACHA guidelines. We have found that having plenty of pasture and rotation is hugely helpful in parasite management. At the time this page is being constructed, we do not show our goats. We have attended a handful of shows and enjoyed meeting fellow breeders and learning from them. It is likely a matter of time before our human kids decide they wish to enter some shows...so see you there! |
