Pepper – Pepper is the first daughter of our first goat, Annie, and now has now taken the mantle of the herd’s lead dam. She came to our farm as a young kid with her mom.  We learned so much from our experiences with her.  She was an extremely energetic kid and used to do acrobatic kicks and jumps around the pen when we brought them in for bed at night. Since then, she has settled down to be an attentive and patient mother.  She is an easy milker and holds her rank with a no-nonsense attitude.
1/2 Alpine, 1/4 Nubian, 1/4 Nigerian Dwarf

Comet – Comet was the first kid born to us on our own farm.  Thus, she is a little spoiled.  It was her floppy ears that sent us down the road toward more Nubian content to our herd.  Comet insists on taking first position in the stanchion, and lapsed into a serious depression the year that she lost a kid to miscarriage and didn’t get milked.  She is one of the most “classic” goat personalities – friendly and more than a little pushy. She loves company and a good scratch on the rump.
5/8 Nubian, 1/4 Alpine, 1/8 Nigerian Dwarf

Spring – is Annie’s daughter with an experimental breed buck: half Nigerian Dwarf, half La Mancha.  She didn’t inherit her sire’s elf ears, but she is very friendly, vocal, and an excellent mother.
1/2 Nigerian Dwarf, 1/4 Nubian, 1/4 La Mancha

Nutmeg– Nutmeg came to us in November 2020 from another farm that was managed naturally. She was born on February 16, 2019 and had a kid at her original home. She is a bigger goat for us and has quickly worked her way up through the pecking order and is now in the top couple of goats. She is easy going and calm almost always. She is eager to get in the stanchion and stands well for milking. She is our first papered purebred Nubian doe and had two sons this year that are up for sale. They are also purebred.

Sparrow – is Mancha’s daughter with Starbuster.  She is a striking beauty, super friendly, and a very productive.
2/3 Nubian, 1/4 Oberhasli, with a tiny bit of Alpine and ND back there

Heidi– is Cola’s daughter with Marcellus and was born in 2020. Heidi had a difficult time giving birth last year. She had to take a trip to the vet and the whole ordeal took 6 hours altogether. Thankfully, she and her daughter both survived. She struggled to recover but is doing well, and getting into better condition all the time. We didn’t milk her last year and didn’t breed her for 2022.
She is 81.25% Nubian, 12.5% Nigerian Dwarf and the rest is La Mancha.

Marcia – is Mancha’s daughter with Marcellus and was born in 2020. She is a mellow, friendly goat that is a pleasure to hang out with. She had a beautiful nearly identical twin girls this year and is giving her all raising them.
She is 62.5% Nubian. 25% Oberhasli, with a bit of Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf

Persephone– is Star’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on April 12, 2021. She had a daughter this year. She is a good mom and shaping up to be a nice milker.
She is 7/8 Nubian and 1/8 Nigerian Dwarf.

Europa– is Pepper’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on April 16, 2021. Like Pepper’s other kids, she is robust and enjoys the pasture. She had a buckling this year and is being a good mother. She is proving to be an easy milker just like her mother.
5/8 Nubian, 1/4 Alpine, 1/8 Nigerian Dwarf

Posiden– is Stella’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on April 17, 2021. She always asks for more scratches and hugs. We didn’t breed her in 2021.
5/8 Nubian, 1/4 Oberhasli,, 1/16 Alpine, 1/32 Nigerian Dwarf

Ginger– is Spring’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on April 9, 2022. She has a round body that reflects the Nigerian Dwarf in her. She and her brother fell out of our naming convention some how.
She is 3/4 Nubian, and 1/4 Nigerian Dwarf.

Molly– is Stella’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on April 9, 2022. Her buckskin tri-coloration is unusual in our herd, and very striking.
She is 65% Nubian, and most of the rest is Oberhasli.

Prudence– is Persephone’s daughter with Marcellus and was born on May 5, 2022.
She is our first Doe that qualifies as an American Nubian, meaning that the sir’s in her line have been pure breed Nubian for five generations. I think we are going to keep her.
