Belicia Nubians, formerly Luna Cyan Nubians, became a reality in 2017 when Christie’s mom decided to sell her beloved Nubians. She decided it would be easier to raise Nigerian Dwarf’s as she aged. Steven and Christie did not have goats on their horizon, but couldn’t imagine the beautiful herd dispersing like smoke on a windy day.
