The Country Diary of a GenX Woman

Snubian

20130510 019Smudge is half Saanen and half Nubian, which means she should be the perfect milker for us.  The Saanens produce lots of milk, but the Nubians produce a slightly sweeter milk with more fat that is less likely to taste goaty.  We won’t know this for 18 months as she is only 9 months old and won’t get bred until next year.  She is impatient to be a mum and has been in season for the last couple of days and is constantly calling out and “flagging” her tail for attention.  She won’t see a buck until next year, but at least we will be able to read the signs that she is ready.
