Gloaming Nubians
We've been raising Nubians since 1982 with our focus on animals that will be structurally correct and give lots of milk. We don't show often but we are on DHIR and are appraised yearly.
We milk year-round and our does often produce milk for extended lactations of greater than 400 days.
Most of the older does have earned their * for milk production.
