TRAGIC NEWS
We unexpectly lost *B CH. Jacobs Pride Bernie Mac Show http://www.jacobspride.com/Bernice_Mac.htm

Bernie had finished his CH. this spring and earned an impressive linear appraisal score of 03-01 91 EEV
Bernie has few offspring, but the ones he has produced are outstanding and will carry on a wonderful legacy and a tribute to the Nubian breed. My plans to wait and bring his genetics back into our herd in the next few years have taken a shocking curve for me.
But, as with all life, death comes, and in this case with Bernie, much sooner then ever anticipated. Bernie was a deeply loved and treasured buck, not only in our own herd, but by the many who saw and knew him personally as well. Bernie had that sweet, loving, gentle personality among our gentlemen. He was easy enough to handle even without a collar. We are grieving Bernie’s loss and he will deeply missed.

Our breeding plans have been well under way now, and drawing soon to a close for this season. It has been an exciting time, with all the hopes and plans being put into a reality. As with each and every planned breeding, the excitement and anticipations of each breeding are spinning in my head. So without further words, here are the planned breedings.
