Nubian

I posted this in the top sticky as well.

I am looking for a Nubian doe, in milk preferably, but would be happy otherwise.

I love my dwarfs, but we are drinking the milk faster than they produce it!

If anyone has, or knows of a doe that is available, please let me know.

I am a hand milker, so it would be nice if they were relatively calm, and CAE and CL free is a must.

Oh, almost forgot, i am in VA.

I know a lady with a nice Alpine doe for sale in milk with her doeling kids, if you want to buy the kids. . .
We are in WV, but I frequently get buyers from VA, so it depends on how far away you are.
She is an easy milker, and pulling blood for CAE would be possible, I am sure.

Her website is http://www.5and20alpinedairygoats.com/

The doe for sale is Jewel. She is for sale due to the lady not needing to keep more than 3 in milk.

Oh! Yes, that would be quite a drive - lol!

She will be at Nationals in Ky in June. . .if you know anyone going. lol.

Good luck! I rarely see does in milk out this way, but I know in other areas they are much easier to come by.
