BRIAR CREEK FARM
Our Nubian Goats
The Anglo-Nubian, or simply Nubian in the United States, is a breed of domestic goat.
The breed was developed in Great Britain of native milking stock and goats from the Middle East and North Africa. Its distinguishing characteristics include large, pendulous ears and a “Roman” nose.
Due to their Middle-Eastern heritage, Anglo-Nubians can live in very hot climates and have a longer breeding season than other dairy goats. Considered a dairy or dual-purpose breed, Anglo-Nubians are known for the high butterfat content of their milk, although on average, the breed produces less milk than other dairy breeds.
Anglo-Nubians are large, with does weighing at least 135 pounds and 175 pounds for bucks. The minimum height of the breed, measured at the withers, is 30 inches for does and 35 inches for bucks. Like most dairy goats, they are normally kept hornless by disbudding within approximately two weeks of birth.

If Renegade's current features continue as-is, he is going to be an excellent herd sire at Briar Creek Farm. He is already showing long lines and wide width. As with many things here on the farm, only time will tell with this little buckling.

Dam's Sire: Lucky Lovings Dynamite
Dam's Dam: Vedder's Jazzminwe
Rocky is a chameleon, to say the least. He used to be black, gray, brown, tan and white - with different shades of each blended in. We knew that he probably wouldn't stay as dark as he was, which makes him even more interesting. His sire did the same thing.... born looking one way, then started maturing another.

Dam's Sire: Lucky Lovings Dynamite
Dam's Dam: Vedder's Jazzminwe
Silver Spoon (also known as Piper) came to us by luck. She has an amazing pedigree and a wonderful personality. She is black roan, which makes her stand out in our pasture as she is the only doe that contains so much black. What also makes her stand out is her confirmation, thanks to her lineage.
Briar Creek Farm Carolina

Sire: Lucky Lovings Dozer
Dam: Lucky Lovings Olivia
Sire's Sire: Kismet Kadbury Wrangler
Sire's Dam: Pleasant-Places Atlanta Breeze
Dam's Sire: Lucky Lovings Dynamite
Dam's Dam: Vedder's Ivy Rose
Carolina got her name from my "forever" dream of living in North Carolina and owning my own goat farm. She is a handful as she isn't a personalable as her dam, but we are getting there.

Sire's Sire: Lucky Lovings RC N Camouflage

Dam's Sire: Lucky Lovings Dynamite
Dam's Dam: Vedder's Jazzmine
Magnolias symbolize dignity and nobility. In the olden days, magnolias were thought to be the perfect symbol of womanly beauty and gentleness. As such, Magnolia's name is quite fitting.
Briar Creek Farm Lucky Clover

Sire's Sire: Lucky Lovings RC N Camoufflage

We are very excited with Clover! She is a strong addition to our Nubian herd. Her size, personality and conformation resembles that of her dam's. All are strong traits that have been applauded at goat shows.

Eclipse is an amazing looking buck that really stands out in a crowd. His coloring and spots resemble the eclipse that took place the night he was born (hence his name).

Bambi is the Nubian herd queen, partly due to her impressive size and her ability to draw attention to herself due to her moon spots. Her appearance even drew the attention of the Goat Journal Magazine's Facebook administrators.

Olivia has an extremely sweet and loving personality. This is due, in part, to the fact that she was partially a bottle baby as she was so tiny as a kid. She has matured into an elegant doe, boasting a lovely tan color.
