About The Herd

Hello and welcome to our website! We have been raising purebred Nubians since 1999. We are located in Palo Cedro CA. It is a small town located right outside of Redding, CA. We had Toggs for about 4 years, but decided that our hearts lay with the Nubians so the Toggs were sold. It was then that my sister decided that she wanted a Lamancha....so we are now part of the Lamancha world.

Our 2010 show season has been very rewarding. Our small herd has brought home 2 Sr. Best Doe in Shows, 7 Best of Breeds, 8 Grand Champions, 3 Reserve Champions, and 1 Best Jr. Doe in Show. We finished the championships on 2 does: GCH 1*M Lassenwood Niko Concordia and CH Pella's Triple C Peach Swirl. 3 of our jr. does also received their dry legs.

Our 2010 appraisal session was also very rewarding with our 8 year old doe, GCH 3*M Lakeshore Farm Just Peachy receiving a final score of 91, EEEE and our doe, GCH 2*M Pella's Triple C Yahtzee received a 90 VVEE.

We breed for a Nubian that is strong in general appearance being long and level over the topline, and strong on their feet and legs. We want to see strong mammary systems as well as consistent mammary systems that are high and wide in the rear and well attached with strong smooth fore udders. We also want to see that beautiful Nubian breed character about the head. We like to keep a small herd so a lot of doelings will be for sale as well as some first fresheners. We cull heavily believing in quality, not quantity.

Over the years we have found four herds that we feel really shine in all areas of the scorecard. We have chosen to base our does off of those herds. They are: Lassenwood, Kastdemur's, Lakeshore, and Wingwood Farms. We have been fortunate to be within close distance of all of these herds! We have greatly appreciated all of the mentoring that these people have done with us over the years!

Herd health is very important to us! We feed only the highest quality alfalfa we can find as well as oat hay and grass hay. Milking does are given a 16% dairy ration. Kids are raised on a CAE prevention program, being started with heat-treated colostrum and then raised on pasteurized milk. Kids are raised away from the adult goats and are not weaned till about four months of age. All animals are given BoSe and CD-T shots twice a year and wormed twice a year, in the Fall and Spring. Free choice minerals and baking soda are available at all times.

Sale Policy: We require a $50 deposit to reserve a kid with the rest of the payment due within 2 weeks after the kids arrival. We would like you to pick a first choice kid as well as a second choice with the possibility of your first choice not being born or not meeting our high standards. We will refund any orders that we cannot fill. However we will not refund any deposits on orders that are cancelled. We reserve the right to retain any kid for herd replacement. Buyers are responsible for health papers, crate, costs to transport to Sacramento Airport. We prefer that you come pick up the kid in person so you can see the relatives, but we realize that is not always possible.

We would like to thank everyone that has added a Pella's Triple C bred buck or doe to your herd!

We hope you enjoy browsing the pages! If you have any questions about any of our animals please feel to e-mail us. We love to talk goats!

Best Regards

Claire, Corrie, Cameron (& Tom & Diane) Pella
