We are a family farm located in Lemoore, California where we breed Mini Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, as well as Maremma Sheepdog Livestock Guardian dogs.
What we Breed
We strive to breed healthy, structurally correct and beautiful small to mid-range family dairy goats that produce sweet, creamy milk, as well as fun and sweet pets that are attainable and affordable for the average family. We raise our goats with love and excellent nutrition and care. Our entire herd is tested annually for CAE, CL and Johnes Disease to ensure they and their babies are healthy and disease free. All of our Mini Nubians are G6S Normal by testing or parentage. Our Nigerian Dwarfs are registered with ADGA and AGS. Our Mini Nubians are registered with MDGA and some with TMGR.
Our Maremma Sheepdog puppies are raised in our doe and kid barn with our dairy goats from birth. They are heavily socialized with our goats, poultry and a variety of livestock and with people, including children, from their very fist day of life. This careful attention to proper early socialization and training makes for outstanding LGD's and trusted family companions.

Nigerian DwarfsNigerian Dwarfs are the smallest breed of dairy goat. They produce sweet, delicious milk that's very high in butterfat and is ideal for cheesemaking. They are sweet and easy to handle, come in a wide variety of colors (and can have blue eyes) and make excellent pets, 4H/FFA projects, therapy goats and family milk goats.

Mini NubiansMini Nubians are a mid-sized dairy goat. Slightly bigger than Nigerians, they produce milk that is similar to Nigerian milk but produce more of it, often as much as standard Nubians. They are the goldilocks of homestead goats! They also come in a variety of colors (and blue eyes) and have a unique look and personalities that make them impossible to resist.

Maremma SheepdogsMaremma Sheepdogs are a superior Livestock Guardian breed, originating in Italy and well suited to protecting all sorts of livestock on both small farms and large ranches. Our Maremmas are heavily socialized with livestock and people, including children, from their very fist day of life, which makes for outstanding LGD's and trusted family companions.
