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
