✨ What to Expect from This Pairing
This breeding brings together two goats who excel in type, style, and gentle nature, promising kids that should shine in conformation and be a joy to work with.
- Poppy is a 4th generation Mini Nubian doe with elegant breed character and width throughout. Her calm, friendly personality makes her a favorite among visitors.
- Haze is a polled, blue-eyed buck who consistently sires kids with width, correct general appearance, and sweet dispositions. His daughter, Polly, was awarded Grand Champion Junior Doe at the 2023 Memorial Classic, highlighting his impact on the show ring.
Expect kids with beautiful Nubian ears, balanced toplines, and stylish breed character, paired with strong udder attachments and production for long, consistent lactations.
