This is the last Mini Nubian buck we’re letting go in our downsizing mission, and we’re very torn about it. Buuut we need hay before winter, so here goes!

Blackberry’s BQ Encore *B has been the refinement buck in our lineup - elegant, long, and correct - and he consistently passes those qualities to his kids. He’ll be seeking new placement after his does are confirmed bred this fall. Because he has turned out to be a bit high maintenance, we have him listed at half the price we paid for him.

From one of the best show herds in the country, Encore brings style and balance without losing function. His offspring show long, level toplines, smooth shoulders, and a clean, elegant front end. You’ll also see strong breed character with those gorgeous wide ears (although his have raised up to become more drop than pendulous), beautiful heads, and straight legs on tight, well-formed feet.

Important note: Encore is our hardest keeper. He’s always been our thinnest goat, and he consistently has clean fecals and bloodwork. Our vet says his teeth look fine - he just seems to be one of those high-metabolism types who needs premium calories to stay filled out (maybe he misses that boujee West Coast alfalfa he grew up on ). He’ll thrive best in a home that’s dialed-in with nutrition and feed management.

If you’re looking to add refinement and correctness to your herd while keeping that classic Mini Nubian look, Encore is a fantastic choice. Plus he’s roaned, covered in moonspots, and has pretty marbled blue eyes! His kids are elegant and eye-catching - the kind that stand out in the ring and (most likely) the milk parlor (the ones we've produced won't freshen for a while yet!)

We will also have very limited straws available after 11/11 collection.
