Ellie is a feisty F4 Mini-Nubian doe with a bold personality and a strong place in our small dairy herd. She was a first freshener in 2026 and delivered twin bucklings, giving us our first real look at her maternal instincts and milk potential.

As a first-time mother, Ellie cared for her kids beautifully from the start. She watched them closely as newborns and kept them well-fed as they grew. Even while nursing twins, she still added milk to the bucket each morning. For a first freshener, that steady production encouraged us. It also showed promise for her future in our herd.

Ellie loves people and wants to stay close at all times. In fact, she would climb into your pocket if given the chance. She may also rearrange your balance along the way. Afterwards, she will gladly supervise your chores. Ellie is affectionate, determined, and full of opinions. Because of that, she stands out as one of the pasture’s biggest personalities. Whether you request help or not, this feisty Mini-Nubian doe stays ready to lend a hoof.

Ellie stands out in the pasture, and she seems to know it. She has drop ears and a beautiful sundgau pattern. In addition, a partial white belt and heavy moonspots finish her look. She also has a white poll and a blaze. Her darker base color makes those bright markings stand out even more. Altogether, her flashy, high-contrast coloring matches her bold personality. Ellie does not fade into the background, in color or character.

Ellie combines strong mothering, useful milk production, and classic Mini-Nubian character. Because of that, she holds an important place at The Tart Farm. She brings dairy value, lively charm, and plenty of goat-yard drama. Around here, we consider that part of the package.
