FEBRUARY 2012
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 HERE
We sell only G6S normal bucklings.
All of our herd sires and bucks we lease are G6S normal.

Thank you once again for your interest in our herd. It is our hope you enjoy your time spent visiting our web site and hope you relish our animals as much as we do. Love, Debbie
