| 1st DAIRY HERD, NUBIAN SPECIALITY MUSIC CITY SHOW |
For 36 years now we have been breeding, raising, showing and milking DAIRY Goats. As the emphasis
has always been on "DAIRY", we are proud of our continued high production and longevity through many generations. We feel
this continuity is achieved by maintaining strong emphasis on correct body type, excellent mammaries, temperament and ease
of milking. Although we have raised all the breeds, Nubians are our first love and what we have primarily focused on. AND!
because we Love NUBIANS, we expect them to Look Like NUBIANS!

I recently moved from a lovely old estate farm snuggled between open spaces and multimillion
dollar subdivisions, back in Boulder Colorado where I grew up riding horses and only a few miles from those magnificent Rocky Mountains.
I discovered an "antique" house with a small acreage and old stables right in the
town of Longmont, where I still have room for some goats with scaling down to where a person past "retirement" age should
be, even though I can still work but more on a part time basis as I also am now a member of the SS generation.
It is also much closer to Carrie and grand-daughters Lana & Ellie!
This has been an eventful year so far, and I have sold down on many more milkers, brood does, and yearlings than I had
ever expected, plus we are also sold out on doe kids for this year. I thank my friends and nubian enthusiasts from Florida
to Alsaka & California to Wisconsin, Virginia and many other states inbetween!
We traveled to two big shows, one in Tennessee and one in Texas so far this year, along with a little local showing.
The girls certainly did me proud! New show photos and some of the placings are listed on the 2009 Show Page, so be sure
to check them out!

We love to show whenever we can, particularly at State Fairs, where we have been winning many Best in Show, Best Udder,
as well as nearly every Premier Exhibitor & Breeder award that we compete for. Our animals have not only been
in the top placings and lineup at the ADGA National Shows for the past several years, but our bloodlines have been directly
behind several of the top winners.
2008 again proved exceptional for us, as we finished SGCH JEWELS (91), SGCH FELICITY(92), SGCH "JINGLE" (our SABLE) &
SGCH INVITATION (91), as well as winning 12 out of 13 BOB classes with SGCH BRIANNCA (91) who also WON her 3 YR OLD CLASS
at the NATIONALS in Kentucky!
2009 started off with a bang at the Central Texas Spring Fling show where our 2 yr old TALLY HO won all 3 rings to finish
her championship and then some!
We took only a handful of doelings to the National Show in Sacramento, no milkers, and all 6 doelings who were
shown placed in the ribbons, with our Bootonniere Jr. Get winning 2nd place to a lovely group of yearling does.
Of the 6 doelings to be bred this year, 5 have their GCH wins and the other ("Passion" - Briannca's daughter by
her 1/2 brother) had 3 or 4 RGCH. We had at least 4 different doelings win Best Jr Doe in Show, including one that we
sold.
DAPHNE won a few GCH in shows that ended up not sanctioning, but then finished her permanent CH as a 1st freshener
with dual wins at the Colorado State Fair.
Several other does I was looking forward to campaigning this year ended up being sold among over half of our mature does,
and 2 of my favorite SGCH does (Abby & Dancer) failed to kid this spring. Briannca had a difficult year but did
pull up at least one BIS among various Best Udder awards.

I believe that excercise is important to all living creatures, and here we still have room for all to run
and graze. We try to let our goats live as "Naturally" as possible, but do a Pasturizing Prevention program raising
the kids separate from all adult goats.

Our goats are our best advertising, so we are presenting for the most part
just their Photos and the statistics. Please feel free to call or write if you would like more particulars or information
on any of the animals or planned breedings for 2010. We will begin kidding again the first of the year from
our old proven brood does and a few of our show string who did not freshen in'09.
