Nubian Goat Weather Vane Pricing
Our Nubian Goat weathervane was originally commissioned in 2003 by a customer in Massachusetts. In keeping with the historic traditions of the area, she wanted her entire weathervane gold leafed (see photo above). This created a warm, lustrous surface finish very popular in the Victorian age. We have also made this weathervane for other Goat Dairy Farms. The Nubian Goat Weathervane featured in the center of this page was made with a combination of copper and brass, both of which patina similarly, but with a slight variation in color. |

Customer Comment on Nubian Goat Weathervane: "Wanted to send this along to you. thought you might like to see how Molly Malone looks on our barn (yes...we have named the goat!) You were a great company to work with. Thank you for helping me with the weathervane. It is one of the first things people notice when they visit the farm!"
Most of our customers prefer that we make their Nubian goat weather vanes with an optional collar and bell around their necks. We also get custom goat eyes from a taxidermist to give them an animated and lifelike appearance.
The Anglo-Nubian Goat breed originated in England as a cross between the Old English Milch Goat and the Zariby and Nubian bucks imported from India and Egypt. They have been exported to most countries from England and are sometimes referred to as "nubians" instead of the proper title of "Anglo-Nubian". The nubian’s distinguishing characteristics include large, pendulous ears and a "Roman" nose. Due to their Middle-Eastern heritage, Anglo-Nubians can live in very hot climates and have a longer breeding season than other dairy goats. Considered a dairy or dual-purpose breed, Anglo-Nubians are known for the high butterfat content of their milk, although on average, the breed produces less volume of milk than other dairy breeds.
