Our Nubian Goat Farm Story

In April 2013, we placed a deposit on our first pair of registered Nubian dairy goats from Cherry Bolduc of Mostly Minis, Armstrong, BC, who has been raising goats since 1990. Cherry’s wealth of knowledge and her impressive tack room filled with show ribbons immediately impressed us.

Her Nubian goats came from many generations of registered champion show lines. What stood out most was their excellent dairy traits and strong body structure, especially the wide and high escutcheons — a crucial trait when selecting replacement animals or kids. Cherry’s herd was healthy and well cared for, with all animals testing negative for Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL).

Our beautiful twin doelings, CHERRY’S SAM MIURA [CAN]N130966 and CHERRY’S SAM ISLERO [CAN]N130967, descend from Cherry’s Grand Champion doe, CHERRY TN VENZA [CAN]N110220. Venza’s two predecessors were also Grand Champions, and their strong genetics, body capacity, and well-attached udders continue to thrive in our growing Nubian herd.

Our whole family quickly fell in love with these intelligent and charming twins. We were thrilled to produce abundant goat milk, cheese, and yogurt for our family’s enjoyment — and even our friends, relatives, dogs, and farm cats benefited from their generosity.

I milked our first two does consistently for a year and seven months. Each goat produced between two quarts to a gallon of milk per day, depending on whether I milked once or twice daily and how long the milking continued. Our milking schedule varies according to the needs of our Nubian kids and household — sometimes once a day, sometimes twice, and occasionally allowing the kids to take all the milk they need.

“I consistently see that ultra-high temperature pasteurized milk goes bad fastest,” McAfee wrote on Facebook. That’s because raw milk is a “living food with active ingredients,” McAfee explains. “Pasteurized milk is filled with dead bacteria, denatured proteins and destroyed enzymes.” Raw Milk vs. Pasteurized: This is What Happens When You Don’t Refrigerate It (returntonow.net)

Our Nubian Herd Growth Plans

We maintain a herd of about ten does, along with a couple bucks. Our focus is on improving body conformation, udder attachment, milk production, and overall herd health. We enjoy showing our Nubians, promoting the breed, and watching happy kids roam our hills. Our fresh Nubian milk products are always a hit with friends and family.

We have a waiting list for upcoming kids and are happy to answer any questions about our beautiful Nubian goat family.

“Nubian Goat History and Facts”

The term Nubian means a native or habitant of Nubia, which was an ancient region of NE Africa. This area is along the Nile from Egypt to Sudan.

The Nubian Goat

Originating in 19th-century Britain from a blend of native goats and imports from India and the eastern Mediterranean, the Nubian is one of the most recognizable and versatile goat breeds in the world. Known for their long, pendulous ears, “Roman” noses, and stunning coat colours, Nubians are as beautiful as they are productive.

With their Middle Eastern heritage, they thrive in warm climates and enjoy an extended breeding season. Their milk is rich, creamy, and naturally high in butterfat and protein—perfect for artisan cheeses and other dairy delights.

Nubians are intelligent, friendly, and full of personality. They learn routines quickly, often walking themselves to the milking stand. Many does produce kids well into their senior years, often delivering twins, triplets, or even quadruplets.

As one of the largest dairy goat breeds, Nubians are also valued for meat production, growing quickly and efficiently. Whether for milk, meat, or simply the joy of their company, Nubians are a true farm treasure.
