Nubilop Acres is comprised of approximately 30 to 35 head of
show quality registered N
ubians located just South of Lincoln,
being nearly in the center of the United States. It
doesn’t take long to fall in love with these beautiful
Nubians. They entered our lives in September 1982, as a
4-H project for our son and daughter and have been with us ever
since. We have always raised Nubians with the exception of
a few years when our daughter had a couple of Alpines. It
was a welcome relief to get back to just the Nubians – we love
their disposition, beautiful ears, and fun colors. It has
been through our Nubians that we have made many special friends
who we look forward to seeing each year at the shows.
Our does did not disappoint us this year in the 2008 show season doing
very well throughout the whole show season, winning Senior and
Reserve Senior Champion, Best of Breed, Best Udder of Breed, and
Best Udder of Show at the Missouri State Fair and ending the
show season at the Nebraska State Fair with Senior and Reserve
Senior
Champion, Best of Breed, Best Udder of Breed, and runner up for
Best Udder of Show (a beautiful LaMancha beat us). We also
fared very well at the other shows throughout the summer.
It has been years, and I do mean years, since we have shown our
bucks, but we decided to take a couple of our young guys out
this past spring and we were excited when Sly Fox went Senior
Champion!
In the fall of 2007 our entire herd tested negative for CAE. It
is our intention to retest the entire herd this winter and
possibly test our bucks for G6S. The kids are immediately taken at 
birth from their dams and
raised on heat treated colostrum and pasteurized milk. My
attendance at the time of labor for each doe is fairly easy as I
am able to work at home and have a monitor sitting on my
desk during kidding time. This has pretty much enabled me
to be there during the birthing process for each doe. All
babies are individually bottle fed as I feel I have more control
over this method than a lamb bar, although the thoughts of using
a lamb bar are tempting. The kids are raised
on a coccidiosis preventative program. Because of the
problems we have had over the past few years, we relocated our
kid pens to a new area and have had excellent results with very
growthy kids. Our kids are usually weaned at three months of
age unless we have one that is a little smaller in size. They are
vaccinated for tetanus and enterotoxemia. We also deworm them shortly after
birth and then on an as needed basis, keeping very close track
of the color of the eyelids.
TERMS
OF SALE: If a kid is reserved prior to
birth, the price is as stated on each doe's page. However, we do
reserve the right to modify pricing once the kids are born if
they are not preordered prior to birth. The price quoted on our website is
for kids up to six weeks of age. We would appreciate a $50
deposit for each kid ordered. If you are interested in
a buck, please preorder as we only keep bucks that we have
orders for, or ones that we will be saving as a replacement in our herd.
Balance due on kids must be paid in full before
shipped or picked up. We prefer to place kids in their new
homes by 4 to 6 weeks of age, but are willing to make
arrangements to hold the kid longer if necessary. Orders
are accepted on a first requested basis. It would be a
good idea to make a 1st and 2nd choice. There will be no
refunds on cancelled orders. However, if we cannot fill
your order or the kid does not meet our specifications, your
deposit will be refunded or held until next year, whichever you
choose. All health papers & shipping charges are the
responsibility of the buyer. We do reserve the right to
retain any animal in our sales list. Please let us know if the
animal that you are considering purchasing is for a 4-H project.
Thank you to all who have placed a Nubilop Acres kid in your
herd and to those who have purchased mature animals from us. We
always enjoy hearing from you. If you have any questions, please
feel free to call or email.
Thank
you,
Dale & Marilyn Stertz
