Nigerian Dwarf & Nubian Goats
We have ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf and Nubian dairy goats. We test our herd annually for Johnnes, CL, and CAE. We are a clean tested herd. Our Nubians are all G6S normal by parentage. Nigerians do not carry this trait and are not tested.
Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Nigerian goats, while a dairy breed, in my opinion, are more geared to the pet life. These guys are great, don't get me wrong. But, if you're thinking of having a dairy goat to provide milk for your family, a Nigerian won't be able to keep up. They are smaller (average 40 lbs.), making them highly manageable. They are colorful, affectionate, curious, and loads of fun. Adorable little troublemakers!
Nubian Goats
Nubian goats are a good option for milk production. With a higher butterfat content in their milk, pleasant personalities, colorful patterns, and long ears, they are a personal favorite of our family. Their udders are just the right size and proportion for hand milking. I do not milk test, but most years, we keep a doe in milk for personal use, which these ladies produce. What we don't consume is frozen for use in soap making.
Baby Goat Sales
We have adorable, highly social kids available every spring. Our does are bred no more than once yearly to give them time off to enjoy goat life. Babies on our farm are bottle-raised on milk replacer with coccidia prevention (we use goat milk).
​
We offer kids on the bottle to experienced goat homes or kids weaned at 12 weeks to new goat owners. Kids are disbudded at two days old. Boys can go home as wethers (castrated at 14 weeks) or bucklings. They will have trimmed feet, current vaccinations, supplements, and ADGA registration paperwork.
​
Doelings are $350.00 each.
Bucklings/Wethers are $200.00 each.
