About Our Nubians
Clean, Tested Herd
Our herd is health tested annually with no positive results ever. All our animals are guaranteed negative for CAE, Johne's Disease, and CL. We are happy to provide test results.
Show Quality
We are an extremely show focused herd. One of our top priorities in our herd is to have and produce show quality animals who will excel in the ring. We always strive for excellent General Appearance and beautiful, supportive, well attached mammary systems with capacity and teat placement on our does.
Milk
Being dairy goats, we truly expect our does to be able to MILK! Our does have strong milking data behind them and we participate in the DHIR performance program, commonly known as "milk test" to provide us and other breeders with knowledge of the volume, protein, and butterfat percentages our does produce. We are very proud to have multiple animals with ELITE genetics in their immediate pedigree. We use our milk for our family consumption and to make goat milk soap.
Conformation & Structure
Our priority in our herd is raise goats who excel in conformation and who have a strong, sturdy structure. We take part in the Linear Appraisal performance program, and we're very pleased with how our herd appraised this year!
About Our Finns
Clean, Tested Herd
Our herd is health tested annually with no positive results ever. All our animals are guaranteed negative for OPP, Johne's Disease, and CL. We are happy to provide test results.
Milk Production
We raise dairy Finns and have worked hard to up the milk production in our ewes. We use their rich, creamy milk to make cheese, and caramel for our family. And we make soap!
Temperament
We expect all our sheep to have sweet, gentle temperaments and be easy to handle. Finnsheep are known for their docile, "puppy dog" temperaments and ours are no exception!
Maternal Genetics
Being a maternal sheep breed, Finnsheep ewes are expected to be wonderful mothers. And that is exactly what our ewes are.
Prolificacy
Our goal for our herd is to further develop the prolificacy of the Finnsheep breed. We expect all our ewes to lamb and raise triplets at minimum with no supplementation.
Conformation to breed standard
Our priority in our herd is raise lambs who conform to the Finnsheep breed standard set by the Finnsheep Breeders Association.
