Wow! Impressive!

Wow! What a Sale.
Thank you to the buyer and contending bidders for your faith in Greenehaven Nubians. I will let them introduce themselves.
We were not sure what to expect when consigning to this Best Of The West online sale, but knew if we were going to consign, it truly needed to be the best. Impact was bred specifically for our program, but with the success of our IVF this year and knowing we wanted to make a splash, he was the right one. We are excited, but also a bit overwhelmed and humbled that fellow breeders see this value in our genetics that we have spent the past 25 years developing.

Purebred, Registered Nubian Buckling available and are super excited about him! He is incredibly dairy in his makeup and comes from milky lines on both sides of his pedigree. His dam is long, level, has an incredible foreudder and attachments. She milks beautifully by hand or machine and also was awarded her *M last year. This guy is a grandson of none other than Stockbridge Star Jube Jube, one of the heaviest milking nubians I know of in Canada. If you are looking for your next herdsire that combines production, persistence and phenotype together, then this guy checks all the boxes. Message for more information and pricing. Located Red Deer County, AB.

After 6 years of running our old reliable Milky pasteurizer, it was time to get a new shiny version!

Our kids are raised on heat treated milk for reasons of disease prevention. This is something that initially we were hesitant on as we also herd health test semi annually. However, when it comes down to it, there are things such as subclinical mastitis that can often go undetected for an extended period of time and we feel that this truly offers our kids the gold standard of upbringing. Although this does add more time, cost and work into the feeding process, we feel it is worth it for not only our own replacement stock, but also for the kids that are moving on into new herds and becoming the cornerstone of someone else's program.

Many people do not realize the the small things that go into the cost of raising purebred breeding stock and this is yet another one that maybe you want to consider when purchasing your next future herdsire or foundation female. What does the upbringing of these kids look like and is there potentially anything lingering that they may be carrying with them into your operation? There will always be risks of bringing new animals into your program, but what risks are you willing to take and what are you comfortable with?

We have this purebred Registered LaMancha buckling available. He is a combination of some of our top milking lines and show lines at BNH and would make someone an epic new herdsire. He is backed by multiple lines of milk stars and EX classifications, show wins and really puts it all together in one package. Sired by BNH Livestock MD Kingston EX91 and out of BNH Livestock ST Charm VG89 *M. Charm is a daughter of many time National Champion GCH Double*Dutch Mojo EX91 *M SELECT and Charm has been many times Reserve Champion at shows, following her mom. His sire, Kingston, is our home raised buck out of Kidnapped Dark Ganache EX92 2*M and maternal sibling to GCH BNH Livestock ST Royal Ganache EX92 *M SELECT. This guy has a PACKED genetic lineup and is ready for a new home. He was born March 19th, super sociable and friendly, disbud and hand raised on heat treated milk. Message us for more information on this guy.

We finished our first milk test last week in the wake of a big snow storm and of course now that the ladies are back sun tanning, they are slowly picking up production again. We love being able to let our does go out and graze the pastures in the summer time and watch them sun bathe in the warm sun, however, there are always goods and bads to each situation. We have been fighting with some super challenging weather this year and it for sure has taken a toll on us all here. However, we do our best each day to keep our ladies well fed, warm and happy throughout the year, with fresh bedding, ample good quality hay, balanced minerals and clean water. Farming comes with its own challenges, never mind mother nature throwing a kink in things throughout the year. We can only hope that the snow storms have calmed for at least a few months and we can all start enjoying the warm sunshine around here!

Some of our young ladies hard at work! Nothing fancy, nothing show clipped or prepped, just doing their job.

Excited to share the amazing genetics of our Tamris Farm Sweet Rock Revival buck around Canada and to see that our customers are equally as excited about him as we are.
