Welcome to Zenubi Creek Farm in beautiful Blue Ridge, Texas
Hi! My name is Stacy and my husband's name is Mike. Together, we live on 16 heavily
wooded acres with 2 Dalmatians, 3 Pyrenees LGD's, some Jersey cows, a small flock of
assorted chickens and my pride and joy, my herd of Nubian dairy goats. We've been
maintaining a small dairy herd since 2002, almost 4 years after I first fell in love with the
Nubian breed. I have always aimed for girls that not only put milk in the bucket, but do so
throughout the year, while maintaining sound structure, level toplines, sound legs and correct
- well attached udders. Sweet dispositions are a must (of which they already have) and of
course that elegant Nubian style! I'm constantly striving to improve by breeding to the best
buck I can get my hands on. We were appraised again this past September again and were
very pleased with our scores.
Herd health is of utmost importance to us. We test annually, usually around October, for CAE
through Biotracking and again, we are a CAE FREE HERD. We've also started testing bucks
for G6S, a genetic anomaly in Nubians and as we can afford, we'll start testing the does as
well. All births are attended to and all kids are pulled and bottle raised on CAE prevention
using heat treated colostrum and pasteurized milk. Years ago, I wasn't happy with the goat
food the stores around me were selling, too much molasses and corn, and the girls wouldn't
eat it, so I was mixing my own using oats, barley, Calfmana and BOSS. I have since, with the
assistance of other dairy goat owners, found a mix that not only do my girls LOVE, but they
have bloomed on it. They also have a locally grown Sudan hay available at all times but this
year, due to the heat and lack of availability, their Alfalfa has been rationed. They have a
quality mineral available to them 24/7 and the herd is on an herbal program to maintain heard
health and fecal sampling is done routinely to combat the tenacious worms we have here in
Texas.
We are now offering Goat And Cow Shares for those that want a little taste of farm life and
of course that wonderful milk. We also have some fabulous goat milk soap and dabble a bit in
cheese making.
I hope you enjoy touring my web-site, y'all come back soon!
