DOB: 3/21/06 I am thrilled to be able 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 floor. His topline is very strong with a flat, level rump. His breed character is very nice also.
This picture really doesn't show how nice he is. Make sure to look at his photo album to see more pictures of him. 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, Echo Hills
Ulysses, has beautiful breed character. He is very long and well blended. Ulysses is extremely wide in the escutcheon area
and level over the topline with a wide, flat rump set on very strong legs. Ulysses' dam is FMCH Hidden Creek's Diamond *P
- one of the best does at Echo Hill's. Grant is 27 inches tall. Grant's 2008 kids are beautiful! They
have wonderful conformation and great personalities. Check out the 2008 Kids page for pictures. Thank you Dannette for letting
me buy another wonderful buck from you!!!

STAR is another beautiful buck from Echo Hill's. He is a very long and dairy buck. Star has wonderful breed character
with a nice roman nose and LONG, well shaped ears. Star's sire, FCH Rainbow Farms Charlie Brown, is the first finished champion
MiniNubian buck in the country. He has been producing lots of really nice kids at Echo Hills. Star's dam, Hidden Creek's
Sierra Wind, is an excellent milker with a beautiful udder and long, easy to milk teats. Sierra also has wonderfully long,
wide ears and an extreme roman nose. Star's 2008 kids have been beautiful! They are all VERY long and dairy with ears much
improved over their dams. See the 2008 kids page for pictures. I am so glad to have Star as a part of my herd.

JASPER! We are so happy to have this buck in our herd! His excellent
conformation and regal bearing give him a very striking appearance. His colors are beautiful! He is 26 inches tall.
Jasper's dam, Easter, is three times 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 - See picture
above (under Grant). 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 Jr. and Sr. Does
page. Thank you Dannette for letting me purchase this wonderful little buck!!!
