OUR DOES
Mini Nubians are a legitimate and recognized breed, descending from the dairy queen Nubian breed and the hardy, backyard-sized Nigerian Dwarf breed. To us, they are the best of both worlds! They're small enough for even younger children to handle, they eat much less than standard size goats, they have the hardiness of the Nigies, they're super adorable, and they produce an impressive amount of yummy milk!
Our goal is to raise and sell friendly, healthy Mini Nubians that produce high quality and high quantity milk. We breed for health, conformation, udder, and dairy production. We don't breed for color, but it certainly is fun to have variety! Everything you want in a backyard dairy goat is what we're working to give you at Deep Canyon Farm. All our Mini Nubians are registered with the Mini Dairy Goat Association.
Our Nigerian Dwarfs are double registered with the Mini Dairy Goat Association
and the American Dairy Goat Association.
Stormy
5th generation American Mini Nubian
Laz E Acre's Stormy Night, "Stormy," is a 2016 doe from Laz E Acre Farm in Finley, Washington. I feel so lucky that I got to bring her to Deep Canyon Farm. Isn't she a looker? Here's what Debbi had to say about this promising doe: "[She] has easily become one of our favorites. She is a lovely doe with excellent width and smoothness of top line from head through the withers. She has beautiful Nubian characteristics and comes from a very high production milk line as well. Her Dam received her milk star in 2016 with over 10# of milk."

Pollyanna
5th Generation American Mini Nubian
Pollyanna has won Best Udder and Reserve Champion. Just look at her pedigree! All those milk stars, Green Gables, and Echo Hills! She has long, easy-to-milk teats and beautiful attachment. Besides all that, she's also a sweetheart with excellent breed character (long, droopy ears and a Roman nose) and a quiet, gentle personality. She also has some moonspots hidden under that roaning. I'll get some better pictures this summer once she has shed off her shaggy winter coat.

Charlotte
Purebred Nigerian Dwarf
When we switched over to Mini Nubians, we just had to keep Charlotte, our sweetest, dairy-est Nigerian Dwarf. She's the best of the best! Her jaw-dropping beauty is matched by her natural mothering ability and her sweet-as-pie personality. She delivers multiples every year and is such a great mama. As if that wasn't enough, she is also a super milk producer with a wonderful udder for such a small goat.
Charlotte is double registered through ADGA and MDGA.
