Nubian Dairy Goats in Michigan since 2005
Welcome..............
We are located 40 miles North West of Detroit, Michigan, on a ten acre farm with lots of pine trees.
Our small herd of Nubians is mostly based on Saada, Lynnhaven, Kastdemur's, Goldthwaite and Easy-Stream genetics.
Our goal is to breed for tall, long-bodied animals with elegance, strong mammary systems and gentle disposition. Our does also have to earn their living with milk, and therefore will be part of the DHIR program starting in 2008.
We had our first LA last year (2006), and are planning to continue every year, because we believe that this is the best way to evaluate our breeding program. We will go to some shows but only to a limited number because herd health is more important to us than blue ribbons.
Records will be posted at each doe's page.
The herd is tested regularly for CAE through WADDL. Test results can be viewed upon request. We follow strict CAE prevention which means that all kiddings are attended. Kids are immediately removed, and raised with heat treated colostrum and pasteurized milk. We also do coccidia prevention, de-wormings and vaccinations. Our kids are getting milk until they are five to six months old because we believe that this is more natural.
Since our herd is abcsess free, we only test occasionally for cl, and we have had only negative results.
All animals tested negative for brucellosis as well.
Farm visits are always welcome, but please make an appointment first.

The Light of Integrity
"The soul is dyed the color of
it's thought. Think only on those things that are in line with your
principles and can bear the full light of day. The content of your
character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think,
and what you do is who you become, your integrity is your destiny...it
is the light that guides your way."
