Mini Nubians

Mini Goats Kidding Schedule Mini Nubian New Arrivals

Mini Nubians are a small dairy breed developed from crossing Nigerian Dwarf goats with Nubians. We started with two small, gentle and beautiful Nubian does. They were bred to our Nigerian bucks to produce the first generation of small but prolific backyard milkers. Please visit the Miniature Dairy Goat Association web site to learn more about the miniature dairy breeds.

Note: Our foundation Nubians tested "G6S Normal". To learn more about this genetic mutation in Nubians, please read G-6-S: A Genetic Defect and its Management by Dagny Vidinsh.

Mini Nubian - 1st generation
(MDGA and TMGR registered)

3/15/05

Sire: Springs Run Haiku's Hasu (MCH Enchanted Hill Haiku X Wooly Dog Down Lemondrop 'E')
Dam: Meadowdean Cinnamon Girl (Cherry-Hill MCB Joseph's Dream X CH Meadowdean Spices Nutmeg)

Keiko is a gorgeous long bodied and refined first generation Mini Nubian. She has very good width in the rear and beautiful dairy character, with her open ribbing and thin pliable skin. Keiko is also one of the sweetest goats in the pasture. She does have "airplane" ears, but we hope to bring them down some in her offspring. She freshened for the second time with a capacious, very nicely attached mammary system.

We are so excited about adding this gorgeous 4th generation buck to our herd. Padre is long bodied and stands on strong, correct feet and legs. He also has lovely breed character and is one of the sweetest boys in the buck pen. Padre comes from a very nice mammary background, so should be a great asset to our breeding program. Thanks so much to Eliya Forster for parting with such a beautiful boy.

Padre now lives with our friends Sandy and Jay Middlebrook at CenterStream Farm in North Carolina.
