Thank you for your interest in the Noblet Creek Dairy Goat Herd!
The Noblet Creek herd started in 2014 with a couple of doelings from Janet Jetton of Balingary Nubian’s in Fayetteville, TN.
Noblet Creek’s breeding program is still in the establishment phase and building on a lot of Tony 2nd Of Evania style breeding with the primary lines wrapped on of Balingary CB Daisy, Balingary CB Belle, Balingary TG Aura, and in 2025, Balingary WB Ebony.
The Noblet Creek Oberhasli herd started back in 2015 with Trinity Rose Iris tagging along back to the farm with Aura sealing the breed as one of the mainstays in the Noblet Creek herd going forward. Initially the plan was to follow the same breeding plan for the Nubian’s but further research showed the breed is struggling with a very high COI, even in the American herdbook and with this in mind, the breeding strategy for the Oberhasli at Noblet Creek shifted to being an out-cross program almost exclusively to establish Oberhasli-Type Experimental’s.
The herd is maintained on free choice local grass hay, a locally grown and milled 16% lactation ration or an 18% show goat ration depending on age and condition, alfalfa pellets and free choice loose minerals. Pastures are sporadically available and supplemental due to our current location being a hot, humid, and usually heavy rainfall area year round i.e. parasite haven.
