I have always bred the goats for what we want in a Nubian. The strongest emphasis is on temperament, production, & ease of hand milking - along with the strong and elegant conformation that will please me every time I walk out to the barnyard and that I know will last for years & years. Of course Excellent udders are an important part of that conformation.

Even though I breed for what I want, I know I can’t keep them all - but neither am I anxious to get rid of them, and I rarely take pre-orders for a specific animal. People who wish to own a Goldthwaite Nubian have learned to be patient, and to just keep me appraised of their desires. I rarely take a deposit on a particular breeding, as I want to know what I get first before I can promise it. I do keep lists of people interested in kids and milkers, and let them know as animals become available. I am limited by age and location and must sell many of my beloved animals, but I have to wait until I see what the total picture for the year is looking like. I also like to see my babies develop under my watchful eye and care, and would rather keep them a few months than to “Insist” they be picked up by 3 to 5 weeks or sooner as do most breeders! I like to see more of my total kid crop to pick with a mind for grouping than to just “keep the best and sell the rest!“ I believe all my animals are good, and often sell the “best” as I feel they will have a better chance at making someone else happy. I am amazed at some of the animals I let go these past two years, but it was a very important year to really cut back.  Many are shown on the updated "REFERENCE DOES 2 " page,  I thank all the breeders and enthusiasts across the country to whom I entrusted my babies as well as many of my long-time favorites.
