FYI, she(Alera, my daughter) Loves both of your profile pictures! And, Thank you both so much. My daughter said that you are speaking her language even more Happy Goats, I bet getting 2 would be best. Devonviolet, we live in Longview, but winnsboro isn't too too far from us!
Thank you! I love my Nubian girls. They can be a bit of a pain sometimes though for sure!@StarSpangledNubians .... your pictures are beautiful. ...makes me miss nubians !
Yes, they all can be a pain but the pleasure is worth it...evertime i see a healthy well taken care of a nubian ...oh how my heart aches. But at 66 i am still strong enough to tend to our herd of 11, and breed them and pick them up when i want to. A full grown nubian is too much for me now....but yours are perfect, nice job !
...now ya all can work on the goats for my friend Alera....
We will definitely have to get some goats when we get more property!I am excited to see the picures too
But, when I perused Craigs List again two months later, she was still there. So, I told DH it MUST mean I was supposed to have her, and he capitulated. I drove five hours, round trip, to get her, and it was well worth it. She is an amazing goat.
We will post pictures as soon as we get some!Whatever you end up with, I look forward to seeing photos. That mini-donkey, in the Craigs List listing sure was cute! I could love a mini-donkey in a heart beat. However, I’m told donkeys and LGDs don’t get along so well. Our Maremma’s did come first. And they have done an amazing job guarding our animals.
@StarSpangledNubians, Love, Love, Love your Nubian Kids. OMG, I could fall for that first one! When I found our Rosemary on Craigs List, I fell in love at first sight. But, when I showed her picture to DH, all he said was, “NO!”
Recently, a friend sent me an article, talking about why goat milk works for people with milk allergies. I am sensitive to casein (protein in milk). I don’t understand the science, but in the article, it mentioned that Nubian and Alpine milk is better for people who are allergic to milk. So, I’m thinking I am going to work towards, maybe, getting another Nubian doe, or see if I can find a Nubian Buck, to breed Rosemary to.
Do you know anything about that @StarSpangledNubians?
