Welcome to our On-Line 2008 Herd Brochure

     Nubilop Acres is comprised of approximately 40 to 45 head of show quality registered Nubians 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. 

     It again has been a very exciting year for us in 2007, being able to attend the ADGA National Show in Gillette, Wyoming. To have been able to stand in the lineup for National Nubian Champion was quite exciting and something we will never forget. Our does did very well in the group classes as well as individual classes. We had 2nd place Produce-Of-Dam, 2nd place Senior Get-Of-Sire, 7th place Best Three Females, and 10th place Dairy Herd.

     Last fall our entire herd tested negative for CAE. 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:   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
