Spring Mtn Nubians

Two years after starting Spring Mtn Nubians here in East Burke, it's time to see where we are...literally.  Here is our herd in pictures:

First, our herd sire, Rocky Top Romeo.  He's out of *B Capri-Dot's Cherished Infinity and he's quite a boy with a lovely personality and  he's never missed...if you know what I mean.  He gets the job done, as you can see.  His babies are pretty consistent: deep bodied, wide with nice high escutcheons.


Next we have Sally...my personal favourite of all times.  She is a sweetie and sooo productive.  I am excited to have a doe out of her that we are keeping.

Sally has what I like in a milker.  She maintains her body condition while producing 10 lbs at 2 years old.  She has a quiet, sweet disposition that is just the icing on the cake.  Her daughter looks to be a chip off the old block and her son "Roger Houston" will, hopefully pass those great features on to his young.

Last, but not least, Pims.  Pims has produced twins as a yearling and again this season...twin does this time.  The loud markings on Mocha are exactly like Pims litter mate brother (so we know who is producing the color).

 
Pims kidded in February, surprising me with twin does!

Soon to come...our new herd sire:  Trevins Glory Rusty.
