Loveland Nubians

Our farm is located in the fertile fields of Grain Valley Missouri, just thirty minutes east of Kansas City, Missouri. Gene got his start early in the dairy industry. He was raised on a dairy farm one mile from where we now live. He milked his first cow at the tender age of five and was milking ten by the age of ten (all by hand). We have always enjoyed raising animals, and have had many different species. We fell in love with Nubian goats at the Missouri State Fair. The rest, as they say, is history . We started small with four does and have grown ten fold, but still milk by hand. We had our first linear appraisal in 2005. We are attending four shows a year and are also planning to show at the Missouri State Fair this year. The foundation animals to our herd include linage's from Copper Hill, Goldwaite, Heritage Song, Iron Owl, Kastdemur’s, LakeShore Farms and Willow Run.

Our kids are given lots of room to run and play, developing strong lungs and muscular systems.
