I am thrilled to have this beautiful
buck. He is black with gold trim and partial white belt. His
conformation is excellent. He has very strong feet and legs with lots of
width between the hocks. Grant has lots of body capacity with a wide
chest. His topline is very strong with a level rump. His breed
character is very nice also. Grant is the first ever finished
virtual champion buck earning GCH under three different judges. Grant's dam is
Hidden Creek's Amber Glow *P. Amber had a beautiful udder
with lots of attachment in every direction and tons of capacity. Her
teats were well placed and easy to milk. Amber had lots of body capacity
and a very nice topline. Grant's sire's dam is
FMCH Hidden Creek's
Diamond *P - one of the best does at Echo Hill's. Grant's kids are beautiful! They have wonderful conformation and
great personalities. Thank you Dannette for letting me buy another wonderful buck
from you!!! |

JASPER was a wonderful buck that added a lot to our herd. Our
first buck from Echo Hill's, this little guy had a great personality and
conformation and passed it all onto his kids. Jasper's dam,
Hackman Farms Easter Sunrise , has had many show wins including 3X
RsGCH, 1 X BUB and 1 X BUS. She has a level topline and her udder is
very nice. Easter and her dam
Diamond give lots of milk. Diamond has one of the best udders I have
ever seen on a MiniNubian. Jasper's
sire has awesome breed character and comes from a good milking line.
Sadly, we lost Jasper at an early age - he was only 3 years old. He will
live on in his gorgeous kids and grandkids. All of Jasper's kids have
been beautiful! Their breed character is so much improved over their
dams. They have all have very nice bodies with correct feet and legs. I
am VERY pleased with how much Jasper has done. See his daughters on the
doe pages. |

CHARLIE is a blonde buck who's coloring ranges from
white to gold. He has good ears and a very roman nose. He has lots of
width between the hocks and a high escutcheon. His front end is very
nice as well. Charlie's dam,
Carey's
Sweet Pea, has a large udder with tons of capacity. He has
lots of milk on his sire's side also. His paternal granddam was only
21.5" and gave 6#'s per day! Charlie's kids are beautiful! He really
improved the ears and noses and gave them beautiful conformation with
excellent legs. You can see many of his kids on the 2007 and 2006 kids
