When John and I got married and moved to the family farm, I knew that I wanted goats again.  Of course I looked around for Mini Nubians, as I loved the breed.  Plus, the Mini Nubians are more economic than the full sized Nubians (producing 3/4's the amount of milk on approximately 1/2 the feed).  We were originally planning on getting goats in the spring of 2014, but ended up finding some sooner from good bloodlines that were close to us.  That is how the first 3 Mini Nubians arrived on our farm in November of 2013, and the Golden Plains Mini Nubians herd started!

Our goal for our herd is to have an overall well balanced dairy goat.  Our main focus is on the dairy aspect, as they are primarily a dairy breed.  We are striving to have goats with good udder attachments, udder texture, capacity, and easy to milk teats.  We also are working with trying to have good body conformation that will hold up over time, along with good breed character with those long floppy ears and roman noses.  Our goats are also easy keepers and usually have nice and gentle, easy to work with personalities.   We are more naturally minded in our approach to raising goats, using herbs/EOs/homeopathy/correct minerals to prevent and treat sicknesses, injuries, parasites, etc.  We will use conventional medicines if necessary (we won't mess with the life of the goat to stay natural), but we do try to use natural means if possible.
