COMET is a buck that combines some of my favorite smaller lines and well attached udders.  His dam Grace, is only 25" tall, but a good milker with a gorgeous udder that is tightly attached and easy to milk.  On his sire's side, he has Trillium, who is also a smaller doe at just under 25 and also produces a lot of milk from a VERY tightly attached udder.  Comet brings excellent breed character, length of bone and dairy character into one prettily marked package.  He has an amazing topline, strong feet and legs with gorgeous angulation to his rear legs, and extreme of length of body and good body capacity. We retained his daughter, Lady Elegance and she freshened with a VERY correct udder that is very well put together with great attachments, shape, perfect teat placement and a smooth foreudder. We have one more daughter, Rapunzel and look forward to watching her mature!

I did not intend to keep a buckling this year (2019), but when Luna had this boy... I couldn't help but keep him. His dam is a lovely doe who has held up beautifully with a super snugly attached udder even at 8yrs old. His full sister Lady has a LOVELY udder that is pretty close to perfect. Both Luna and Lady have long, well placed teats, a well defined, strong medial, smooth foreudder, high, wide rear udder and good capacity. Dreamer himself is WIDE, long and powerful with beautiful breed character.

THUNDER was purchased primarily because of his dam's amazing milk production.  She is on the taller side of MiniNubians (29"), but she produces more milk than many larger full size Nubians peaking at almost 2 gallons in one day!!!  Thunder has lots of milk on his sire's side as well.  Add to all that milk good conformation with strong feet and legs, excellent length of body, width and good breed character for a 2nd gen and this boy is just about everything I could want in a herdsire.  His dam has a nice udder with a strong medial, well placed and sized teats and amazing capacity.  Her udder has some mastitis damage on one side, so is uneven in pictures, but you can still get an idea of how nice it was. Thunder's first daughters freshened in 2019 and they are AMAZING!

SPICE is a beautiful buck out of one of my favorite does, Nutmeg.  Nutmeg's udder is soft and she is super easy to milk.  She also has high butterfat so her milk is very rich and sweet.  The first milk test of 2011, she gave 8.2#!!!  That's over 1 gallon in a 24 hour period.  VERY good for a doe that is only 25" tall and weighs barely 100#s.  She also has a will to milk - we milked her through in 2012-2013 for a 18+ month lactation.  Spice's dad is also from a line of milkers with great tasting milk.  Spice has gorgeous breed character with LONG, wide, pendulous ears.  His coloring is the icing on the cake with the red buckskin and MOONSPOTS.  Spice matured to have wonderful conformation. He is long, deep, wide, good brisket, smooth blending, good rear leg angulation, nice strong topline, tight elbows, great breed character, good feet and legs. But best of all, he puts lovely udders on his daughters. His daughters have very nice udders with long, easy to milk teats, good attachments, excellent production. and he improves breed character and adds color.  So far, he has given us 41 kids with most having beautiful breed character and lots of them with wild moonspots.  We LOVE his kids.  We have 5 of his daughters - Lady, Cami, Noni, Plain Jane, & Countess.  You can see pictures of his daughter's udders on his page by clicking on his name or photo.

DASH is a lovely buck with gorgeous conformation - long, wide and deep with strong feet and legs.  He has a lovely front end assembly with tight, sharp withers, a nice brisket and smooth blending. A great plus is that he has stayed very SMALL.  He is only 26" at the withers while most of my mature bucks are a good 3+" taller.  Dash's dam, Grace was also very small and has a lovely, tightly attached, correct udder with high butterfat milk.  She has stood the test of time holding up very well still having excellent attachments and strong feet and legs at 9 years old.  Dash's sire, Spice, has thrown some of my most correct udders and his daughters are excellent milkers. Dash is linebred on my first Echo Hill's buck who threw beautiful udders on his daughters.  Dash's dam, Grace, and his paternal granddam, Nutmeg, are both sired by +*B Echo Hill's Jasper. As an added bonus, Dash also has moonspots. We have retained

***We bred Remmy back to his dam and retained a buckling from that breeding, so Remmy is now working in another herd in southern WI while his son, Cal, takes his place here***

REMMY looks to be the best buck I have ever bred.  He is well deserving of being purebred. His dam, Cali is out of two of our best ever animals, Moonbeam and Sapphire.  Her udder is the best I've ever bred and I cannot find a fault with it - high, wide rear udder, snug attachments with a nice medial, correctly placed and sized teats that are easy to milk, excellent capacity, smooth foreudder... She has the ideal udder.  Remmy's sire, Goldstone, puts incredible breed character on his kids and lovely conformation.  He also comes from great milkers.  Remmy himself has gorgeous breed character and incredible conformation.  His is long and wide, wide, WIDE throughout. We have retained several of Remmy's daughters and a son, Cal.

FREDDY is a beautiful buck out of the first two goats in the US to earn their finished virtual championship titles and he went on to earn his V-Championship as well.  Freddy has long, wide ears that have continued to improve as he matures.  He also has a very sweet, friendly personality.  Freddy's dam was one of the nicest does in the herd who had one of the best udders I've ever seen on a MiniNubian.  She gave a TON of milk.  She easily earned her milk star in both milk and butterfat in 2009.  Freddy has a very wide escutcheon and tons of width between the hocks which he passes on for lots of room for udders in his daughters.  Check out his half sisters below.  His daughter, Liberty is a very petite doe that produces a lot of milk for her size.  Her udder has nice high, tight attachments (improved over her dam) and is VERY easy to milk (also improved over her dam).  We look forward to seeing more Freddy kids in 2016.

JASPER was a wonderful buck that added a lot to our herd.  Our first buck from Echo Hill's, this little guy had a great personality and conformation and passed it all onto his kids.  Jasper's dam, Hackman Farms Easter Sunrise , has had many show wins including 3X RsGCH, 1 X BUB and 1 X BUS. She has a level topline and her udder is very nice. Easter and her dam Diamond give lots of milk. Diamond has one of the best udders I have ever seen on a MiniNubian. Jasper's sire has awesome breed character and comes from a good milking line. Sadly, we lost Jasper at an early age - he was only 3 years old. He will live on in his gorgeous kids and grandkids. All of Jasper's kids have been beautiful! Their breed character is so much improved over their dams. They have all have very nice bodies with correct feet and legs.

dd: Carey's Sweet Pea (1st gen.)

DOB: 6/5/06

Eureka was a real gold mine. He had super long ears and a very roman nose. His topline was very smooth and level although this picture doesn't show it. Eureka was gold with silver ears and muzzle with a broad white belt with gold spots in it. He looks a lot like his sire +*B Echo Hill's Jasper. Eureka was about 25 inches tall. Eureka's dam, Country Dream's Rosebud 1*P, is milking very well at about 6 lbs per day. Her udder is tightly attached in every direction and she has a beautiful rear and fore-udder.

G6S Normal by parentage

I have not used a Nigerian buck for YEARS, but when I saw this boys pedigree, I couldn't pass him up.  This boy is LOADED with MILKY genetics.  His pedigree is full of top ten milking Nigerians like SG ARMCH Rosasharn's Buckwheat Honey 3*D 'E', 3*M EEEE 91 who was top ten for MANY years as well as having a lifetime milk of 11,650# (dam's paternal granddam), Chenango-Hills Unique 5*D - Top 10 DHI & milked nearly a gallon in one day(!) (sire's maternal granddam and daughter of another top 10 doe), and SG Rosasharn P Haiku 4*D Top Ten DHI Breed Leader & ADGA ’10 National GCH & Best Udder (sire's paternal granddam and daughter of another top 10 doe).   Honey Pot has lovely conformation and is always posing.  We have retained two of his daughters for our herd (Honeysuckle and Bubbles).

As much as I LOVE this buck and his pedigree, I have used him as much as I can in my herd, so must sell him... Asking $400.
