Why Nubian Goats?
Nubian Goats are an ideal livestock choice for many producers. Their small size means reduced feed costs, less expensive handling facilities and ease of handling. They are prolific producers with a short gestation and short interval from birth-puberty. They often have multiple offspring, quickly building your herd. They are personable and curious by nature, bringing their owners hours of enjoyment.
Tall and graceful, these goats are a delightful animal to own. They are loaded with personality and charm and are easy to milk. Nubians can display an array of colors and their long pendulous ears and Roman noses make them distinct. Each Nubian's personality is very unique. Besides being very talkative, they are smart, and can keep things pretty interesting on the farm.
Due to their Middle-Eastern heritage, Anglo-Nubians can live in very hot climates and have a longer breeding season than other dairy goats. Considered a dairy or dual-purpose breed, Nubians are known for the high butterfat content of their milk. (We also make available raw goat's milk for purchase) And, like most dairy goats, they are normally kept hornless by disbudding within approximately two weeks of birth. Any solid or parti-colored coat colors theitted in the Nubian, but black, red or tan are the most common colors, any of which may be carried on combination with white. Usually there is shorter hair on the Anglo-Nubian males, particularly along the back and on the thigh, than is commonly found on the Swiss breeds. The udder of the Anglo-Nubian is capacious but is sometimes more pendulous than that of the Swiss breeds. A mature doe should stand at least 30 inches at the withers and weigh 135 pounds or over, while the males should stand at least 35 inches at the withers and weigh at least 175 pounds. The Nubian usually gives less milk than other breeds, but produces a milk of higher butterfat content.
