We like our Nubians because they have such high quality milk.  Nubian milk is the best tasting goat milk and that is one reason that we keep Nubians at Drake Family Farms.  We continually have customers comment that "our milk is the best tasting goat milk they have ever had".  The Nubian breed produces milk with the highest Butterfat content and also has a high protein content.  In addition to improving flavor, Butterfat and Protein content are what determines the amount of cheese the milk will make.  When you use Nubian milk to make cheese you have more cheese and less whey to dump at the end of the day.  It is amazing what a 1-2% increase in Butterfat and Protein content do for cheese yield.  Nubian milk also makes a thicker yogurt than milk from the other goat breeds.  

Some people say that Nubians are noisy and a pain to deal with.  We admit they can be loud at times but we have quite a few Nubians that are very docile and not loud.  There are differences in the bloodlines and how noisy they are.  We also never recommend anyone get just one goat, especially one Nubian as this makes them scream until they have a friend or a person with them.  Goats are herd animals and should always be kept in groups of 2 or more.
