Welcome to Thorcrest Nubians!
We hope you enjoy looking through lovely does and bucks. We have a small select herd of quality purebred Nubian's. Herd health is important to us. All negative once again in 2023 for CAE. Johne's, and CL which marks 9 years of negative test hence we are moving to testing every 2nd year for CAE and Johne's. Our herd has never had a suspicious lump so will only be testing for CL every few years. In 2017 we tested for codon 146 (s) the scrapie resistant gene found in Nubian's and Boers. Most of our herd carries at least one copy of the gene! Please drop in on our Facebook page and "like" us to keep update on what is happening around the farm! Have a wonderful day and don't forget to hug your goats!

Why we are not worried about disease when raised on their dams. Unlike some farms who may have only tested once, or twice, our goats have tested negative for CAE, Johnes and CL since the late 1990's. In 2015 we started annual testing for CAE and Johnes due the reduction in cost of testing which made it more cost effective. We test periodically for CL (always been negative). We have also tested for Q-Fever several times and always negative.

We are asked this question all the time. Check out the video to see our 2022 kids....yes they are wild about checking out the camera and pulling my hair, and jumping on me.
We do socialize our kids daily. In past years I have purchased bottle raised kids and they have been the wildest goats I have ever had. They had obviously bonded to just the lamb bar and not had much if any interaction with people. So it all depends on how much time you spend with your kids how friendly they will be. |
