Mini Nubian Bucks
An acquaintance of mine said an old time breeder once told her that "your does deserve a buck whose dam is better than any of the does in your herd." This is something I truly believe, as having a good buck can make or break your herd. I keep only the best bucks from the best does!

Ransom at 6 months |
Dam's first freshening udder |
Ransom is a flashy buckskin with an irregular white belly band. He was just a hair longer, deeper, and wider than his brother, and has a smoother, stronger front end assembly. Ransom also got his daddy's depth and spring of rib. As I was hoping to increase these traits for Gidgie's kids, I kept this little guy as a new herdsire. He has a nice wide, open escutcheon, too - so like his daddy's. Ransom has also inherited his sires wonderful sweet temperament.

Tycho, showing off his wonderful breed character
|
Tycho is an impressive little guy, long, wide, deep, and with beautiful breed character. His legs and feet are a bit straighter than Ransom's, and his rump is a bit more level .
He has beautiful breed character! Tycho was used on all my doelings from this year, as Ransom was just too big for them. Can't wait to see what he can do! |

Show Record:
Smoky was sold as a baby, then came back when his new owner couldn't keep him. Worked out well, so I can add Sapphire's incredibly high rear udder and lovely udder texture to the mix.
He has been bred to Jacob's Pride Rock Steady (Nubian) and Saada Snickerdoodle for 75/25 kids in 2008. Those kids should have really nice potential. |

Famous got his name because I said "I'm not keeping another buck - really I'm not."
Famous is super long and dairy - with such a long, long neck! Even his tail is long. He has been bred to Sapphire, Apache and Terrabella for 75/25 kids in 2008.
