2024-2025 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.

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
We are currently experiencing difficulty with the form below, so
if you are interested in reserving a kid please send me an
email with the following information:

Address, City, State, Zip

Tell us what you are looking for (buckling, doeling or wether),
what traits you are looking for, the purpose of the kids (milk,
pets, breeding, meat, etc.) and a bit about yourself and your farm.
I look forward to helping you find the perfect goat for your
farm!
