Purebred Nubian Dairy Goats
Located in Albany, Oregon
Our Nubian herd is enrolled in DHIR and participates in Linear Appraisals every second year.
Our herd is all status known for G6S either through test or normal by parentage. Each animal's G6S status is posted. All kids sold as breeding stock that have a carrier parent will be tested before leaving our herd.
Our Story-
We started with our first dairy goats in 2010, with a single grade Nubian doe named Fawn. A friend re-homed this girl and her Nubian buck friend with her to our farm in hopes to give us some help in supplementing baby pigs that were too weak to stay with their mothers. Fawn came to us bred to a Boer buck, and carrying her first kid. (Fawn has been reunited with her papers and is now registered)
We told ourselves we would only need a goat or two to get us by with these weak little pigs. Until, we started making our own cheese. Suddenly I 'needed' another goat, to have enough milk for cheese and pigs. One goat turned into 3 goats, and then Holly was born, turning this into a 4 goat operation. From there we began acquiring does from various points in Oregon, but we never intended to have anything other than 'just goats'.
In the Spring of 2012 after kidding out two beautiful Nubian does from the Pennyroyal herd, We decided to go registered. These two girls were purchased as 'just goats' but they were so nice we couldn't see letting them get lost in the grade goat world. So with the help of the breeder we registered them, transferred the papers on two American alpines we had, and took off running. By the Fall of 2012 we had six registered Nubians, two registered Alpines, one registered Boer, and a handful of 'just goats'. We had 16 Does!
Our Herd has continued to grow, in the fall of 2017 we anticipate 17 or 18 milking does for 2018. we are thrilled with the genetics we are able to work with and looking forward to continuing on with our goals of large productive nubian does.

Our Goals-
We are breeding for does with correct conformation, well attached udders, high milk production, and mellow temperament. We have a preference for heavier bodied does that maintain the ideal dual purpose use of the Nubian breed.
We do not show, but do participate in Linear Appraisal.
We are currently using lines heavily influenced by Six M Galaxy and Pennyroyal. In 2017 we added 4 does from the Cree Farm herd, these doe will further our goal of increasing butterfat and body capacity.
