Foundation Mini Nubian Goats

Fern is one of those goats that moves and presents herself so elegantly, which is exciting because her dam does too and I'm hoping this is a quality that will carry on through the generations. Super excited about her mammary. Her dam is the first daughter I have freshened out of my foundation doe Sonflower Ranch Aspen. All my first fresheners in 2022 had very nice udders, but Willow's has the extra+ features such as the the super butter soft, pliable texture and large orifices that make her not only easy to milk but enjoyable. I'm so thankful and finding myself unable to part with Fern!

I lost Aspen in August 2021. She was such an amazing goat! So smart, protective, and productive. As herd queen she kept the herd safe and in line. She ruled with a "don't you dare look" more often than with her effective head butting. She was the first to investigate anything new on the farm and kept the rest of the herd back - so brave! See the photo from when the kunekune joined the farm. Always first in line she also kept the herd in a consistent pasture grazing pattern. Aside from being a great mom she was the absolute best milker I've ever experienced. She had capacity, fantastic attachment, nice foreudder, and such a lovely, buttery soft texture with large orifices. Milking was a breeze, fast, and fun (after she learned to behave on the milk stand...slightly stubborn and opinionated). I really like my goats, but Aspen truly was extremely special. A group of Aspen trees is called a clone because each is genetically the same. Aspen trees also have prolific and extensive rooting rates. I have kept three doelings out of Aspen (Samara, Willow, and Oakley) and many grandchildren, nieces, and cousins in the hope that her most wonderful qualities as a fantastic highly productive doe will form a strong foundation and consistency in my breeding program. I have not been disappointed! Sire: Sonflower Ranch Elvin SS: Sonflower Ranch Denver SD: Sonflower Ranch Everly Dam: Sonflower Ranch Freeda DS: Echo Hill's Eric DD: Sonflower Ranch Elvira
