The INBA Breeder of Excellence award should be given to a living breeder who has made a significant contribution to the Nubian breed as a whole. The Award is an acknowledgment of a superior breeding program in a herd whose genetic dominance has been duplicated consistently in many herds over many generations. These animals have been proven through the participation in the various programs such as Linear Appraisal, DHIR testing (milk production), and National, State, and local show awards. The INBA Breeder of Excellence award is given in gratitude to the dedicated Nubian breeder who continually offers the very best in the Nubian breed.
