I love Nubians. They also have great milk for making cheese and soap, I've heard, so they are ideal for us. :)

For me, Nubians have multiple kids per birth, milk forever so my crossbred kids grow very fast, and add long legs to my Spanish sired kids. I also like their long floppy ears. LOL!!!

We just brought home the little boy I mentioned in my breeding thread! He was born on 2/15, and we decided to name him Topaz. :) I'll post pictures tomorrow, as it's already getting dark here and my phone camera quality is best in the light.

We are also getting our guard llama delivered tomorrow, so I'll post pictures of him as well. :)

Sorry, no pictures today. The llama got delivered much later than expected, and we had to run errands afterwards that we had expected to have done by 1, when the llama didn't even get delivered until then. By the time we got back it was basically dark. :(

Ah well, I will for sure have pictures for you guys tomorrow.

Alright, I got some pretty decent pictures of everyone today. It's been dreary all day but the lighting wasn't bad. :)

The llama's registered name is Ghost of Cloud, but just Cloud for short.

Congrats! Good choice for a herd guardian. Llamas are such good guardians. Our male llama "Carl" loves kidding time. He goes with each doe when she kids and oversees the process. If there is twins he helps clean off one kid while the other is being birthed. He also lets the babies use him as a playground and the kids will climb on him and and play "King on the mountain". The kids treat him as if he is a big brother and romp around with him and he just lets them have their way with him. Once again congrats on the beautiful llama and Nubians.
:thumbsup
