My Name Is Mary Whitney, And Along With My Husband, R.C., Have Been Breeding Nubians For Show, Milk And The Pure Beauty Of Them, Since 1978. We Breed For An Animal That Is Structurally Sound, That Has The Genetics To Be Healthy Without A Lot Of Added Antibiotics And/Or Nutrional Supplements And Has The "Vigor" To Be Able To Travel The Long Distances That We Must Travel To Get To The ADGA Shows In Our Surrounding States. That Doesn’t Mean We Don’t Supply Our Animals With The Basic Nutrients And "Common Sense" Care They So Richly Deserve, They Receive CDT Vaccinations, Bo-Se 4 Times A Year, And The Finest Alfalfa We Can Get. They Don’t Receive An Abundance Of Grain Except On The Milk Stand And The Young Stock Have Been Getting A Product From Kruse Called "Sea Power" That I Feel Has Helped Them Grow And Mature Very Well This Year. The Young Stock Also Is Treated And Maintained For Coccidia Prevention. All Animals Are Offered Free Choice Minerals. Kids Are Started On Heat Treated Goat Colostrom, And Raised On Pasteurized Goat Milk Until At Least 9 Weeks Of Age. I Do Supplement With Milk Replacer If, And When It Is Needed, But Usually Only By Using It Mixed With The Pasteurized Milk. I Also Add Probios And Vitamins To The Pasteurized Milk For The Kids.

I Have Been On DHIR Test In The Past , But At This Time I Am Rather Isolated And It Is Hard To Find A Reliable Tester. I Hope To Be Able To Do A One Day Test In 2000. My Herd Is Not Tested Yearly For Cae, But On The Occaisions That I Have Had Animals Tested Prior To A Sale, I Have Never Had A Cae Postitive Animal. My Herd Was Linear Appraised By Steve Richter In August, 1999.

Your Questions Or Concerns Are Welcomed. A Deposit Of $50.00 Is Required To Hold A Kid Of Your Choice. Note: Bucks Will Be Retained From Some Breedings.

 

Sincerely, Mary Whitney
