Small herd focused on bringing back the utility style Nubian with hardiness being our number 1 priority and milk production 2nd. We also participate in DHIR (milk testing) and Linear Appraisal with ADGA. We raise as holistically as possible not just with animals but with ourselves as well.
It is very important to us to limit any sort of chemical use to emergencies only. Herbal and mineral supplements we found is key to avoiding this in not just our animals but our personal lives as well. Our only vaccination is for cd&t due to our location and lack of emergency antitoxins available
Herbal (1)-Conventional (10) 1-10 Scale: 2
