DIAMOND is the dam of Jasper's dam, Hidden Creek's Easter Sunrise. She is also the dam of Grant's sire, Echo Hill's Ulysses.
Diamond has one of the best udders that I have ever seen on a MiniNubian. Her udder is soft, pliable, capacious and milks
heavy her whole lactation. It is super well attached in every direction and is easy to milk. In 2005 her buck kid earned
JR Res. CH. Her topline is incredibly straight and level. Diamond also has a wonderful personality. I am very happy to
have two of her grandsons here. They are doing great things in our herd. Picture courtesy of Dannette Hackman - Echo Hills

AMBER'S udder was similar in shape and build to Diamond's. She had wonderful attachments, great teats and tons of capacity.
She has been 1X GCH, 2X RCH, 2X BOB and 1X BUOB. Unfortunately Amber died in 2006. Amber was a really nice doe and it is
a loss to the MiniNubian breed that she is now gone. Her son's and daughters will carry on her heritage. Amber is the dam
of our buck Echo Hill's Ulysses S. Grant *B. Photos courtesy of Dannette Hackman - Echo Hill's Farm.

being white in the winter and a creamy color in the spring and summer. Her ears are 2/3 drop and her nose is very roman. She
is extremely friendly and loves people, especially children. Sophie had a single doeling with beautiful breed character in
June 2006 (can be seen on our main website). Sophie's udder is tightly attached and well shaped. It is still on the small
side, but I am hoping she increases in capacity as she matures (she is milked out in this picture). Her full sisters are milking
5-6 lbs per day. Her dam is also a wonderful milker. (see 'Rock' above)

DOB: 6/7/07
STORMY was a very correct 4th gen. doeling. She had very nice breed character and wonderful conformation. She had a wonderful
personality to match her good looks. She is a great example of what we are trying to breed in the MiniNubians. Her dam,
Green Gables CB Ivory has a beautiful udder with tons of milk. Stormy's sire, *B Echo Hill's Jasper, also has lots of milk
in his pedigree. Unfortunately we lost Stormy in the spring of '08 so we weren't able to breed her at all. She is placed
on this page as an example of what we are striving for. In 2008/2009 we are repeating the breeding that produced Stormy in
hopes of getting another kid like her.
