Raising ADGA Registered Nubians
Thank you for visiting the Little Pond Farm website!
We are a small farm on roughly 4 acres and have been raising Nubian goats since 2005, which is when we acquired our first doe, Sally. From there our herd steadily grew and we've now reached a pretty comfortable group at +/- 10 head.
Even though we don't show our goats, we strive to breed towards dairy correctness with high milk production, as well as friendly personalities in our goats, which is a must for me. They are all treated as part of the family and receive lots of attention on a daily basis. In return, the girls provide us with wonderful, creamy milk that we drink and make cheese and ice cream with.
We decided on Nubians for their great milk production, flashy colors and their wonderful personalities. They are a joy to be around and we are so blessed to be able to raise this wonderful breed. No two of our goats are alike and it's a joy to watch their different personalities and quirks unfold. I had no idea watching kids jump off of wooden spools could be so entertaining until we had our first kidding. Most kids are born bouncy and it's a lot of fun watching them find their legs.
Our goats are fed a 16% sweet feed with added oats, alfalfa pellets and BOSS (black oil sunflower seeds). They get plenty of locally grown hay and the occasional treat in the form of bananas, lettuce or some cookies.
Update (10-15-09): We will start exposing does to our buck this month. It's had to believe that it's time for breeding season already... Kids should be due starting in March '10.
Kidding season has come to an end and we are very proud of what our girls have given us! Check the For Sale page to see the kids we are selling. Thanks so much to everyone interested in our herd and to all the past buyers!
