 Mini-Nubian Goats 
(Herd Tested CAE & Johnes Free, March 2006)

Mini Nubians were created so that you could have a Nubian in a smaller package. It is the product of breeding a Nigerian Dwarf and a Nubian together. Variations of combinations are made with the breedings until you get the Nubian breed characteristics and and small size together. It takes a lot of time, and can be frustrating, but fun!

Since we already had an established herd of quality Nigerians, I didn't really "need" any more goats ! But after seeing mini-nubians on a Nigerian website, I just had to have one! Who could resist those long ears, and sweet expressions, especially in a small package! So my quest to find a breeder began. Luckily, I found two people in Georgia.

Angela Cummings of Patchwork Acres, in Albany, had started a quality herd of minis. Her mini bucks were from some of the best mini lines in the U.S and she bred them to several of the best purebred Nubian does available in the area. We were thrilled to have been able to purchase two bred does from her and two beautiful kids. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of 75%/25% 2nd generation kids!

Thanks, Angela, for sharing this great picture with us!

We were so tickled with these girls, that we decided to get a few more! A trip to Monroe, GA resulted in a trip that changed our lives. We had already spent the day driving and looking at chickens, but we made the trip to Monroe to look at the minis. We were so glad that we did. There, we had the pleasure of meeting Melinda Lewis of Mel-Dia Caprines. She had a lovely herd of purebred Nubians and several adorable minis. As we looked through the herd, a brown Nubian kept either chewing on my pant leg or hand, wanting to be scratched. If I quit petting her, she would nudge me. Well, needless to say, we didn't come home with a mini, but a purebred Nubian doe, Mary. She has become the love our lives! Not only does she amuse us with her silly antics, she just loves people! Nothing pleases her more than to play with our children and eat raisins! We could not thank Melinda enough for letting us have this sweet girl! We will go back to Monroe this spring to pick out mini babies !

Patchwork Acres Snickers
          (1st generation 75% / 25%)

Brownie and Snickers were sold to John and Patti Citrano, of Gurley, Alabama.

Special thanks to Angela Cummings for letting me have these girls to start my mini herd! They are both bred to Patchwork Acres Whosyer Daddy, for spring kids.

Faith is a 2nd generation, 75% mini nubian doe. She has excellent breed type and is very small.

This is doe is very affectionately known as Mary. She is the love of our lives! And though she does not grace the show ring, her wonderful, silly personality will win her a blue ribbon at home every day of the week.

We want to give Melinda and Diane Lewis of Mel-Dia Nubians and Mini-Nubians a big thanks for letting this sweet girl join our herd. She has just touched our lives in so many ways! 

She is bred to our Nigerian buck Little Tot's Estate Turbo for 50% /50% 1st generation Mini-Nubian kids.
