Welcome to Inanna Nubians

Yellow line

We raise the Nubian breed of dairy goats. Nubians are big goats. Most of the does are one hundred fifty to two hundred pounds in weight. The bucks are larger yet. They are distinct from the other breeds found in the United States because of their long ears and convex noses. Outstanding qualities of the Nubian breed are their sweet temperaments and milk that taste exceptionally good. Late spring is our kidding time. Each doe will bear from one to five kids. We stay with the does in the barn when they kid so we can enjoy those first few moments with the new mothers and their babies..

The Lower Barn

I am so glad you had a chance to stop by. The goats just came in from the pasture for a drink of water and to laze around for awhile. These hills and trees that we call home are in Southeast Kansas at the northern edge of the Cross Timbers Forest. The prairie grass, browse, and exercise keep them healthy and happy.

Let's go to the house and get a cup of green tea, or would you rather have a glass of cold milk? Hear the hens doing that cackle-thingy that they do when they lay an egg? Did you know it takes three chickens to lay an egg? The hen produces the thing and two roosters each announce the continuation of his genes. We'll come back out in a few minutes and look at the goats.

The first goat, purchased in 1990, was a Nubian-Toggenburg cross named Ears. She came to her new home riding like a queen in the front seat of a shiny black pick-up truck. Ears was purchased to diversify a farming operation and eventually became the farming operation. She gave nearly two gallons of milk a day and set her new owner's expectations for goat milk production very high. As others were added she retained her status of queen with a vengeance. By 1993 two registered does from the Heritage Song herd joined Ears and her kids. The current herd is decended of those first two Heritage Song does who were bred to the best bucks that could be found.

ABOUT THE HERD

In 2007 and again in 2008 the does were allowed to raise their own kids. Any over two per doe, and the ones that are reserved are hand raised. The new mothers are brought into the milking room twice a day to eat concentrate and have their udders checked, and to be milked if needed. After the kids are weaned the does are milked twice a day. Milk production is extremely important. Does must produce to stay in the herd.

At night they stay in their barn and a small secure pasture. The bucks are housed separately. They all have prairie hay and alfalfa and are offered mineral free choice.

JUST WHO IS INANNA?

Inanna was an important goddess of ancient Sumeria. In one story told by Joseph Campbell, she went to hell to find her sister and instead found the other half of herself.

Come on, let's go take a look.
