| "Will you please have your babies today?" |
Why Nubians? Well, for one, who can resist those ears! Nubians are a large, gentle breed and are very popular Dairy goats throughout the world. They are known for producing high quality, high butterfat milk. I find the nubians a very peaceful and pleasant breed to keep. I have heard others say they can be quite vocal at times, but I honestly, have not experienced this. Our does were wonderfully tolerant of children and enjoy the company of humans without being pushy. Feeding time can get a little crowded, however. :) Since I was diagnosed with leukemia, we decided to thin the herd and only raise the Myotonic goats. I still love Nubians and may raise them again someday. So I will leave this page up. Below you will see some of my old favorites. They will be greatly missed.
Some interesting Dairy Goat facts are:
Dairy
goats are gentle and intelligent animals with a life span of 8 to
12 years.

Goat milk can successfully replace cow milk in diets of those who
are allergic to cow milk.
Castrated male dairy goats can be trained to pull carts or wagons,
and make great pets.
Dairy
goats can produce a gallon or more of milk a day.
