ANNUAL CAE
TESTING
ENTIRE HERD ONCE AGAIN 100% NEGATIVE

Thank
you for your interest in our beautiful
herd of Nubians that I dearly treasure. Our does are hard
working ladies that hold long steady lactations. Jacobs Pride
animals linear appraise well and are strong competitors in the
show ring. Our goal began and remains focused on breeding for milk production and high
linear appraisal scores with
a show winning edge.
Although my focus is on milk production, excellent linear
appraisal scores and animals that do well in the show ring, I
strive to breed animals that have a beautiful style of their
own. A style that is hard to pull your eyes from.
The type of Nubian I love and have a heart to breed are large,
tall and long boned elegant animals dripping with Nubian breed
character, A Nubian with a strong roman nose that is beautifully
framed by a long, belled ear. It is this style of Nubian I
strive for in our breeding program, the noble, majestic Nubian.

We
believe firmly in the official records of
DHIR and the
ADGA Linear Appraisal
system and use the programs diligently. We have made TOP TEN in the Nation several
times over the years, and hope to continue in the years ahead. We believe these records
of DHIR and L/A are an effective management tool in breeding
does and bucks who will continue to pass on their strengths through their genetics.

Our
herd
management is standard for running a disease free herd. We are
a 100% CL free property, 100% CL free herd and 100% CAE negative herd.
Our
entire herd is tested annually for CAE.
We
attend every birth, documenting deliveries, birth order and weights.
All kids are removed at birth and hand raised as part of our herd
management program.
All kids are started on heat-treated goat colostrum and raised on pasteurized goat's milk as part of our
disease prevention herd practice.

In 2001 we
began testing for the recessive gene mucopolysaccharidosis IIID, or
G-6-Sulfase deficiency, commonly known as G6S
To learn more about G6S visit

We sell only G6S normal bucklings.
All of our herd sires and bucks we lease are G6S normal.

Thank you

enjoy your time spent visiting our web site and hope you relish our
animals as much as we do. Love, Debbie
