The Does
Nubians and Nigerian Dwarfs
My mixed herd of Nubians and Nigis are happy ladies, foraging on my hillsides (fire mitigation!). People often ask me, but they all get along just fine! They are separated when with their respective bucks during October and November. Once kids are here, I milk 1x per day, starting once they are 3 or 4 weeks old. I separate at night, milk first thing in the morning, and let the kids back on the mamas for the rest of the day. Herd is tested annually for Johnes, CL, CAE (December 2022). Goats get free-choice minerals daily, plus selenium paste every 6 weeks when I trim their feet. Wormed 2x/year. Up to date on all shots.
Dolan Finca Madison’s Merlot
Maddie is three y/o and this is her second freshening (in March ‘23). Last year she had three very flashy kids, and this year she had FOUR! (see photo gallery). She was milking 5lbs/1x day as a first freshener, and had a beautiful udder this year as a 2nd freshener. Goldthwaite and Six M Galaxy genetics, so the great milk output was expected but still nice to see!

Dolan Finca Pandora’s Box
Pandora is a flashy Nubian beauty, and was one of Maddie’s three kids from January 2022. Maddie was bred to a Goldthwaite buck, so Pandora’s milk genetics are even better than her mom’s!
Pandora took two first place ribbons for her age class at the REDGA show in 2022. She kidded March 23rd with triplets, two does and one buckling. She has a beautiful 1st freshener udder!!

Meet Dolan Finca Sweet Ivy
Ivy is ADGA registered on appearance, and is 3/4 Nubian. (One local vet said, “She’s a perfect specimen of a Nubian!” I replied, “But she’s not….” :)
She is a great milker, has a nice temperament, and has never had a kidding issue (knock on wood). This will be her fifth kidding. Her registered grade doeling from 2022 (Dolan Finca Penny Lane) took 1st place in the open class for her new owner in an East Bay show. Ivy is unusually colored for a Nubian, and produces flashy, highly marked kids. She was ultrasounded with two kids, but had four kids end of March (bred to Nickleby). One female for sale.

Ivy is a moaner when pregnant & resting!
Coffee (nee Amber-my grandson renamed her!) is our sweetest goat, a great mom, and a great little milker! Add in her lovely pedigree and she’s the whole package.
Coffee was bred to Forrest, and she had three kids on March 17th, two doelings (one polled) and one buckling (polled).

Dolan Finca Perfectly Isadora shows the stunning cou claire coloring. Izzy is a one-man goat, and loves my grandson, following him around like a puppy. Izzy competed in the REDGA show in August 2022. Lots of fancy genetics behind this girl, so we’ll be excited to see her milk output as a first freshener. Kidded March 25th with one polled buckling.
