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.

Doe	Buck	Gen of Kids	Price of Kids	Comments
Manna 4*P	Showman *B Dam 2x top ten	4th	$800	Manna has one of the best udders we have bred - capacious, well attached, butter soft and very easy to milk with heavy production. Showman has phenomenal breed character and his dam has an amazing udder with great production. She has been on the top ten list twice. These kids should be the complete package. Bucklings will have *B
Eclipse 5*P 3x MDGA TOP TEN	G.I. Joe *B	3rd	$750	Eclipse is our heaviest milker breaking all records here by giving a whopping 14# in a single 24hr period. She has great hand milking teats and has amazing body capacity as well as a super wide, flat rump. Joe brings in strong feet and legs with hooves that rarely need trimming and good parasite resistance. His dam has a socked on, beautifully shaped udder with teats on the smaller side (Eclipse's teats are VERY large). Bucklings will have *B
Belle 4*P (MDGA 3x TOP TEN)	G.I. Joe *B	3rd	$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! Joe's dam has incredible udder attachments, good production with high butterfat. Joe brings hearty genetics with good parasite resistance and strong hooves that need very little trimming. Bucklings will have a *B
Peaches 5*P	G.I. Joe *B	3rd	$700	Peaches has very nice conformation & breed character. Her udder has excellent udder texture, great capacity and is very easy to milk. Joe should improve udder attachments and keep her phenomenal production. Joe also brings hearty, easy keeping genetics. *B bucklings
Kisses	Showman *B Dam 2x top ten	5th	$675	Kisses lost her udder to mastitis as a ff, but it was VERY promising & her pedigree is packed with gorgeous udders. Showman brings excellent breed character, conformation and milk with correct udders.
Swan Song 3*P	Flame *B *S	2nd	$650	Repeat breeding! Swan is a long, sharp doe with STUNNING breed character. Her udder is extremely capacious, soft and easy to milk. Flame brings even more milk and lovely udders with increased width. This breeding brings a lot of new blood to the MiniNubian breed. Bucklings will have their *B
Flurry	Cal +*B	5th	$675	Flurry is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Near perfect conformation & breed character, and her udder is very correct with very nice teat placement, strong attachments and good shape. Cal is one of those bucks who improves every doe he is bred to. Breed character, conformation, udders, production... These kids will be the complete package!
Claire	Denver	3rd	$650	Claire is a small doe with some of the best udders in the MiniNubian world behind her and her ff udder did NOT disappoint! It is extremely correct and has amazing production for her small size. Denver brings strength and width along with fantastic udders and milk production.
Swiss Miss 2*P	Showman *B Dam 2x top ten	4th	$650	Swiss Miss has very little I would change about her - conformation is extremely correct even though I haven't gotten a picture to show that yet. She has good feet and legs, & parasite resistance. Swiss Miss freshened with a LOVELY FF udder - snugly attached, correctly placed teats, great shape and good produciton. Showman should improve breed character while keeping the lovely conformation and udders with great production.
Charm	Denver	3rd	$675	Charm was a late bloomer having her first kids as a 4yr old ff, but WOW, her udder did not disappoint. Phenomenal attachments, great production and very easy to milk. Charm has lovely breed character, a long body, & level topline. Denver has heavy milk behind him as well with correct udders. His kids tend to be strong, wide and conformationally very correct. Polled possible.
Shooting Star	Denver	3rd	$650	Star is the daughter of Eclipse, our all time high producer (peaking at 14#). Star's ff udder is pretty close to perfection! Her conformation and breed character are lovely. Denver brings good milk production and correct udders with excellent conformation. He should increase strength of bone and width throughout.
Dreamy	Cal +*B	3rd	$600	Dreamy freshened as a yearling with a nice, correct little udder. Her conformation is lovely and her breed character is really nice. Cal improves pretty much any doe he is bred to. Long bodies, phenomenal breed character, gorgeous udders are his stamp!

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

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.
