So cold this February morning. The little front feet emerged first, followed by a nose. This was the doe's first baby and he was soon followed by a second. The babies snuggled into the big warm chore coat and were carried to the house. While they dried, their mother was treated to a bowl of warm water and a pan of grain She rested patiently on the clean, bright hay. The doe called to her new babies as they were brought back and laid beside her. Soon she was up, nuzzling them to find her teats and suck the life giving colostrum into their tummies. She will raise her babies until they go to new homes. Then she will give fresh, nutritious milk to her human family for months to come.

We raise and sell the Nubian breed of dairy goats. Nubians are big goats. 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 plentiful milk that tastes exceptionally good.

Milking does are available after kidding. Many of our kids are bottle fed and go at an early age to 4-H families where they do well in the show ring. We also sell animals for breeding to increase the quality of the herds they go into. Goats form lifelong friendships with their herd mates. They will be happier and healthier when they go to their new home with a buddy who they already know.

Genetics for the Inanna herd have been drawn from Brown Sugar's Crown Ambassador, Fra-Jac, Oakledge, and Kastemur. The buck we are using this year is home-grown CH Inanna Philsbery M-Doughboy who is 5.15% linebred with 1.02% Ker-A-Tin Acres Royal Majesty.

We are interested in the animals we sell and try to stay in contact with their new owners. The success of the Inanna animals is very impotant. We do everything possible to keep our customers and friends satisfied.

Please call or email to find out more about the Inanna herd.

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.
