Moonstone is a little buck that I just HAD to add even though I already own his sire. He has amazing milk and udder genetics on both sides and brings in some new Nubian blood to my herd. Moonstone's dam, Mercy, is a small Nubian doe (28.75") with an LOVELY, correct udder and a long, steady lactation (almost 10# at peak and steady at 8# after that). She also has a very correct topline with a long, wide, level rump, something hard to come by in Nubians and MiniNubians. Moonstone inherited his mother's excellent topline, width of body and over all lovely conformation. This boy also has stunning breed character with super long, wide ears and a roman nose. He may mature on the taller side as he is 75%Nubian, so will be bred to our smaller does with lower Nubian percentages. His sire is also joining our herd this year and is a very correct buck out of one of our smallest MiniNubian does who is an excellent milker with a very correct udder. She is also the highest butterfat producer in our herd. His Paternal granddam is a Nubian doe who has excelled in the show ring with a lovely udder and very high butterfat as well. Oh, and I forgot to mention that in addition to having awesome conformation and super strong udders and milk behind him, he is also moonspotted. Looking forward to seeing this guy's contributions to our herd!
