2023-2024 Breeding Plan

To see more information on a particular goat, click on his or her picture.  To reserve a MiniNubian kid, see the information at the bottom of this page.

All breedings are subject to change (especially since does do not always agree with my choice for them!).

Please note: We breed our MiniNubians with the goal of improving the breed and correcting any weaknesses in each doe. Bucks are chosen for each doe based on which boy we believe is the best match for her regardless of generations. I HIGHLY recommend reading this article (link) for more information on generations.

Doe	Buck	Gen of Kids	Price of Kids	Comments
Belle 4*P (MDGA 3x TOP TEN)	Danny	4th	$750	Belle has a lovely udder with a strong medial & correct teat placement. She is one of our highest milk producers and has made the MDGA top ten list THREE times! Danny is Belle's maternal half brother so this linebreeds on the incredible GG SOF Lovely Lady. Bucklings will have a *B Polled possible.
Manna (4*P pending)	Cal *B	4th	$750	Manna has one of the best ff udders I've ever seen - capacious, well attached, butter soft and very easy to milk with heavy production. Cal is one of those bucks that improves every doe he's bred to. I expect MILK, udders, and stellar conformation from this breeding. Repeat breeding from 2023 which had GORGEOUS kids. Bucklings will have *B
Blizzard (5*P pending)	Flame *B *S	2nd	$750	Blizzard is one of my favorite milkers. Her udder is extremely capacious, well attached, soft and easy to milk. She has stunning breed character & her conformation is excellent. Flame brings very heavy milk production with correct udders & conformation. I expect Blizzard to earn her star this year in which case, bucklings will have their *B
Rapunzel 3*P	Tex *B	6th	$700	Rapunzel has a capacious udder with long, easy to milk teats. She has a near perfect topline & conformation with stunning breed character. Tex brings in high, wide rear udders & good milk production with correct teat placement. Bucklings will have a *B
Flurry (FF)	Danny	5th	$650	Flurry is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Near perfect conformation & breed character, and her ff udder is spectacular. Danny's dam also has a near perfect udder and he has great conformation & breed character, so I expect these kids to be the complete package. Polled possible.
Buggy 2*P(polled) 2x MDGA TOP TEN	Denver	3rd	$650	Buggy has a lovely, well attached udder with a lot of milk. Denver brings heavy milk production, correct teat placement, and correct udders. Bucklings will have *B Polled possible
Morning Glory (polled)(FF)	Tex *B	4th	$650	Morning Glory's udder is lovely with good production for a ff, super easy to milk and buttery soft. Tex brings even more milk and great conformation. Polled possible.
Peaches 5*P	Denver	3rd	$650	Repeat breeding. Peaches has stunning conformation & breed character. Her udder is phenomenal with excellent udder texture, great capacity and is very easy to milk. Denver should improve udder attachments and keep her phenomenal production. *B bucklings
Kisses	Flame *B *S	2nd	$650	Kisses lost her udder to mastitis as a ff, but it was VERY promising & her pedigree is packed with gorgeous udders. Flame brings phenomenal udders and heavy milk production as well as great conformation.
Swan Song (3*P pending)	Flame *B *S	2nd	$650	Repeat breeding! Swan is a long, sharp doe with STUNNING breed character. Her first freshening udder is even better than I could have expected! Flame brings even more milk and lovely udders with increased width. This breeding brings a lot of new blood to the MiniNubian breed. Swan earned her star this year which will make her bucklings have their *B
Jane	Cal *B	4th	$600	Jane is a very small doe with phenomenal breed character, super correct conformation and a lovely, correct udder. Cal brings amazing breed character, high milk production, near perfect udders and  lovely conformation.
Mississippi (ff) (polled)	Gi Joe *B	3rd	$600	This girl brings lots of new blood to the breed having almost all outside blood. Lots of heavy milkers behind her with great udders. Joe also brings new lines, so these kids will be unrelated to many of our other kids. Joe's dam has a socked on udder and both his dam and sire come from heavy milk lines. Polled possible.
Swiss Miss (ff)	Danny	4th	$600	Swiss Miss is the daughter of a doe I brought in for her great feet and legs, parasite resistance, udder attachments and production background. Very excited to see this doe's first freshening. Danny's dam has one of the best udders I have ever bred, so I am pretty stoked about these kids. Polled possible.
Sylvie (ff)	Gi Joe *B	3rd	$575	Sylvie has phenomenal breed character. She is long bodied and very dairy. The udder attachments behind her are excellent. Joe brings new lines with heavy milk production, snug udders and very hearty constitutions with good parasite resistance. Polled possible
Daydream	Gi Joe *B	3rd	$575	Daydream is a LOVELY young doe whose ff udder didn't disappoint - socked on attachments, correct teat placement and good production. Joe brings new lines with heavy milk production, snug udders and very hearty constitutions with good parasite resistance.
Claire (ff)	Danny	5th	$550	Claire is my daughters' doe and is a petite, spunky little thing. Some of the best udders in the MiniNubian world are behind her, so I look forward to see how she freshens. Danny's dam also has one of the best udders I have ever bred, so these kids should be amazing in the udder department. Conformation is great too. Polled possible.
Mia (ff)	Tex *B	4th	$550	Mia looks just like her phenomenal dam, Maggie. Hopefully her udder will be just as spectacular. Tex also brings in excellent udders and conformation to this pairing.
Eskimo Kiss (ff)	?????	TBD	$TBD	Eskimo is a LOVELY doe with stellar conformation and breed character and a great udder background. Little stinker got with the bucks on her own, so we will have to DNA test her kids to determine the sire.
Shooting Star (ff)	Flame *S *B	2nd	$550	Star is the daughter of Eclipse, our all time high producer (peaking at 14#). I am SO excited to see how Star freshens! Her conformation and breed character are lovely. Flame brings HEAVY milk and correct udders with excellent conformation.

Our Mini Nubian kids are sold in order of deposit received. A $100 deposit is required to reserve a kid. The deposit holds your place on my list of people who are looking for kids. I ask that you specify some things that you are looking for in your goat and what purpose he/she will serve. If we do not have a kid of the right sex or if we don't have a MiniNubian kid available that meets your stated criteria, your money will be refunded or you can transfer your deposit to a kid from the next year (deposits are otherwise non-refundable).  If we have a kid of the right gender for you that meets your criteria, you cannot choose to 'wait until next year' to get higher on the deposit list.  If we have a kid of the right gender for you that meets the criteria laid out by you at time of deposit, and you choose to wait until the next year (for whatever reason) your deposit for the next year will be dated as the day you chose to wait (rather than the day you sent the original deposit).  This will give buyers that are coming for the first time to have a fair chance at getting kids rather than having people wait and transfer deposits from year to year in hopes of getting '1st pick'.

Please fill out the form below or click here to email me if you are interested in reserving a Green Gables MiniNubian kid.  Deposits are taken via 'regular' mail.  We reserve the right to retain any kid born on our farm.

Kids can be picked up from 4-8 weeks old and must be picked up by 8 weeks old.  If kid does not leave Green Gables by 8 weeks old, there is a $2/day boarding fee.  At 8 weeks old, kids are still on the bottle/Lambar feeder.  I recommend bottle feeding kids until they are at least 12 weeks old.  This allows the new buyers to bond with the new kid and the kid with them in addition to giving the kid more nutrition.

All Green Gables kids (except for wethers or goats sold specifically for non-breeding) are sold with an application for registration with MDGA (Miniature Dairy Goat Association).  All kids can also be registered with TMGR by sending a copy of their MDGA papers to TMGR. MiniNubian Dairy Goats
