Kansas Bluestem Nubians
Nubian Junior Does-
presented in order of age
We’re glad you’re interested in learning more about our breeding stock. Junior does are shown on this page, in order of age. Each one has an introductory section here, where you’ll find basic information including whether DNA is on file, known casein alleles and G6S status, the reason we retained her and perhaps her first intended breeding. All ADGA registration numbers are linked to view their pedigree on ADGA Genetics, provided courtesy of Gene Dershewitz & ADGA.
Mature does are shown in order of age on their own page, and receive detail pages once they near the end of their first lactation with us. We can’t forget about the boys- see them on their own Herdsire page. If you are interested in purchasing a mature animal from us, or seeing all the current breeding plans in table form, please see our Breeding Plans page (available mature animals are listed at the bottom of the page in the For Sale section). To see some information on does previously owned, with progeny carrying the Kansas Bluestem herdname, please see our Previous Stock page.
RDR NE Coffee Bean
ADGA #N2390064
March 29, 2023
Coffee Bean was purchased from Jena Raymer of Oklahoma as a birthday gift for our youngest herdsman, Kathryn, in 2024. We chose Coffee Bean due to the success that her littermate sister, paternal sisters and maternal sisters have had in the show ring as both junior and senior does. We expect Coffee to freshen with an excellent mammary system, and have a style that performs well in the ring.
Coffee Bean- July 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: A/B
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Coffee is bred to Food4Thought MardiGras Flasher for a late April 2025 freshening. First doe kid will be retained. Second doe kid reservation is open. Bucklings will be offered after we’ve evaluated Coffee as a milker. See our breeding plans page to see what reservations mean in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem Sunkissed Lulu
ADGA #N2376568
December 29, 2023
Lulu- Sept 2024
DNA on file- yes
Alpha-s1 Casein: B/N
G-6-S: Normal (by test)
Lulu is a daughter of paternal siblings Over the Moon KUL Fantasy and Over the Moon KUL Apollo. While the mating that producer her was accidental, we’re not displeased with the results. She has shown nice balance throughout her growth stages and caught the eye of the judges in the ring (placing one time 4th and one time 6th in large classes). We intend to freshen Lulu as a yearling.
Current Breeding Plans: Lulu will remain a dry yearling in 2025. We might choose to freshen her in the fall. Reservations will be open for all kids once any breeding is confirmed. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem JustALuckyDuck
ADGA #N2352415
January 4, 2024
Ducky- September 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: A/A, A/B or B/B (by parentage)
G-6-S: Normal (by test)
Ducky is one of two wildly spotted twin does from Clover in 2024. From the very beginning, she was more growthy and had the powerful frame we’re looking to produce. She’s continued to grow nicely, albeit much faster than her contemporaries and we plan to freshen her as a yearling. Ducky saw the show ring at the Green Country Dairy Goat show in Stillwell, OK in May of 2024. She placed one time third (Ring 1- Jay Rudolph) and one time first (Ring 2- Marissa Shivers) over a class of 12 senior kids. We also took her to the Kansas State Fair in September, where she took 3rd Senior Kid, under Grace Toy. We hope she freshens with a mammary like her sire’s dam-line and continues to develop a topline and rump like her maternal granddam. She’s one to watch in the future!
Current Breeding Plans: Ducky is confrimed bred to Cozy Meadow Maximum Chrome for March 2025 kids. First doe kid is reserved. Second doe kid will be retained for evaluation. First buck kid is reserved. No additional reservations available. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem JustAnEpiphany
ADGA #N2276806
Janurary 6, 2024
Ephinany is a well balanced and lengthy doe out of Memory. We hope that Player added the strength and width that Memory lacked. Epiphany has been on the smaller side of our kids, but has grown with ice balance and correctness. She placed three times 4th and one time 8th as a senior kid at spring shows; then took 2nd Senior Kid at the Kansas State Fair in September 2024. She keeps getting better as she matures! We’re looking forward to getting her back to the show ring with more maturity.
Epiphany- March 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: A/B or B/B (by parentage)
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Epiphany is confirmed bred to Food4Thought MardiGras Flasher for March 2025 kids. First and second doe kid reservations are open. Buck kids will only be available as herdsires if her performance as a milker meets our requirements. Contact us to get on the list if you are interested in either a potential buckling or a bottle wether. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem JustUrOldFlame
ADGA #N2374670
February 27, 2024
Flame is the first retained daughter of Camelot Cattle Co Cinder. She was a single doe kid, and while we had hoped for a higher multiple from Cinder, we were thrilled she gave us a doeling. Flame catches everyone’s eye with her wild spots, but we expect she’ll be a showstopper in udder and production once mature. We plan to freshen her as a yearling. Flame took 5th place Senior kid under Grace Toy at the 2024 Kansas State Fair. We’re really looking forward to maturity and milk production from this one!
Flame- July 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: B/B
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Flame has been bred to Food4Thought MardiGras Flasher for May 2025 kids. Doe kid reservations will be open once the pregnancy is confirmed. First buck kid is on hold for an established breeder. Additional bucklings will go as bottle wethers. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem RubyRedSunrise
ADGA #N2374669
March 31, 2024
We were given the opportunity to lease Sunrise’s dam, Hawkeye Farm Midnight Kahlua, from a friend for the 23-24 breeding season. Midnight freshened with only a single, but at least it was a single doe kid. Sunrise is our first retained daughter of PNP-Legacy Ralph Lauren (since his other pairings didn’t produce doe kids!) and we like what we see so far. Sunrise is a strong doe who carries herself on straight and correct feet and legs. She’s a very growthy girl and hit 90lbs by 6 months of age. As a result, we’ve decided to freshen her as a young yearling.
Sunrise- August 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: unknown
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Sunrise has been bred to Over the Moon KUL Apollo for April 2025 kids. Doe kid reservations will be open once the pregnancy has been confirmed via boodtest. Buck kids will only be available as herdsires if her performance as a milker meets our requirements. Contact us to get on the list if you are interested in either a potential buckling or a bottle wether. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem PhruitSmoothie
ADGA #N2376569
JApril 13, 2024
Smoothie is a very long and dairy kid. She’s one of the “special” ones in our herd who is AS1C N/N, meaning she’ll produce milk that’s “more allergen friendly” once she joins our milking string. We hope her milk volume holds up to that of her maternal granddam, Ethel, and we would like to see her grow into a strong doe like her paternal granddam, Over the Moon KUL Fantasy.
Smoothie- August2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: N/N
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Smoothie has been bred to Over the Moon KUL Apollo for April kids. Doe kid reservations will be open once the pregnancy is confirmed via bloodtest. Buck kids will only be available as herdsires if her performance as a milker meets our requirements. Contact us to get on the list if you are interested in either a potential buckling or a bottle wether. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Locust Creek MS Friend in Me
ADGA #N2389107
April 15, 2024
Friend was a semi-unplanned addition to our herd in the Spring of 2024. Her breeder, Heather Eby/Locust Creek, had a single kid born just days before leaving for vacation (and the same day as Aux and Sephy were born), so we agreed to kid-sit for her while she was gone. Then Heather got the AS1C test results telling us that Friend was a doe that would fit right into our bredding “side-project” of a line of AS1C N/N Nubians. So, we decided that Friend may as well just stay forever!
Friend’s sire and dam are both from the well-known Blissberry herd. Her sire, Blissberry Macapuno Sunrise is son of the up and coming Blissberry Coconut Cooler, son of Wingwood Farm TL Atlas. Friend’s dam goes back to both Blissberry Sonic Boom and Blissberry Rock Hard, the first Nubian sire to have three Ex93 daughters. We are delighted to have these “outside” genetics in our herd and look forward to what she brings to our milkroom.
Friend- May 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: N/N
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: Friend will remain a dry yearling for 2025 due to her size. We hope to freshen her in January of 2026. Please see our breeding plans for information on other breedings and opportunities to place a reservation.
Kitkats Sunkissed Auxesia
ADGA #N2376566
April 15, 2024
Aux is one of the first goats with our second herd name, “Kitkats.” At birth, we were certain Aux was a buck kid because she just had a masculine head and shoulder assembly. We were excited when we did not find external parts! Aux’s dam, Haweye Farm PBF Demeter, is a doe we leased for one breeding season, with the hope of getting a doe kid to start Kathryn’s show string. Aux’s sire, Apollo, complements that dam-line well, and we’re excited to see how this girl does in the ring. Due to her late season birthday, she didn’t see any spring shows, but we might get her out to a few fairs this fall season.
Aux- September 2024
DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: unknown
G-6-S: Normal (by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: We plan to freshen Aux in the fall of 2025. We haven’t determined which buck we will expose her to for October 2025 kids. Doe kid reservations will be open once the pregnancy is confirmed via bloodtest. Buck kids will only be available as herdsires if her performance as a milker meets our requirements. Contact us to get on the list if you are interested in either a potential buckling or a bottle wether. Please see our breeding plans for information on placing a reservation and what that means in our herd.
Kansas Bluestem Sunkissed Lime
ADGA #N2417914
November 1, 2024
Lime was one of quads out of Strawberry when she was a first freshener. We hadn’t planned to retain a doe from that litter, but since Strawberry gave us more than one, we figured Lime should stick around. Lime is another Apollo daughter and we’re looking forward to seeing how Apollo’s width and udder genetics improve upon Strawberry. Lime shows plenty of lenght and spring of rib as a kid.

DNA on file- no
Alpha-s1 Casein: B/B
G-6-S: N/N (normal by parentage)
Current Breeding Plans: None yet
Kansas Bluestem Parade Trinket
ADGA #N2417939
November 1, 2024
Trinket is our first retained, much anticipated, daughter of Flasher, out of Souvenir. Souvenir always placed well as a dry yearling, so we knew we needed to add more of her genetics to our herd. Flasher’s other daughters (Food4Thought herd) also show well, which made this cross make sense in our mind. Trinket is the first doe in Knox’s show string, and will be his primary 4-H showmanship goat. She will also travel around on the regional circuit with Kathryn’s small herd.
