We are a small family farm focused on miniature livestock breeds. We specialize in ADGA/AGS Nigerian Dwarf and MDGA/TMGR Mini Nubian Dairy goats. We also breed Maremma Sheepdogs, which are a livestock guardian dog breed originating in Italy and well suited to protecting all kinds of livestock on both large operations and small family farms.
Because we love our goats and care about their health and the health of the kids we sell we test our entire herd annually for CL, CAE and Johne’s
Last Test Date March 27, 2018 - entire herd clean.

Why should you only buy goats from a breeder who tests their entire herd annually and why is a "closed herd" not good enough? Because only annual testing proves a herd is healthy and disease free. When someone says they have a “closed herd” that proves nothing at all. You have nothing but their word to go on and even they don’t really know if their herd is healthy because some diseases can remain hidden for years. Only testing annually proves that a herd is truly disease free and healthy. Reputable and responsible breeders are willing to pay this considerable expense for the health of their goats. Your new goat will be both a financial investment and beloved family pet and you really don’t want to take chances with their health. Nor do you want to buy goats from sale barns or unsavory characters selling goats of questionable health and breeding! If you can’t see the parent stock, ask lots of questions and feel good about what you see KEEP GOING. I can’t stress these points enough! A “cheap goat” is not a bargain when you end up with expensive vet bills or have to explain to your children with their beloved pet died. 😢

Please let us know if you would like to put down a deposit to hold a kid or be put on our waiting list. We cannot hold a kid without a deposit. Being on the waiting list is free but is no guarantee of getting a kid. Deposits are honored first come, first served but we reserve the right to retain first choice kids from any doe. We can’t guarantee color or eye color when reserving kids in advance. We cannot guarantee kids will be scur free. While we make every effort possible to ensure a good disbudding job, Nigerians and Minis are the hardest goat breeds to disbud because their hornbuds are wide and tenacious. Despite every effort sometimes scurs develop. Usually they are small and not a problem, especially with does and wethers. Bucks are the hardest to prevent scurs in, because of the hormones. All of our kids are healthy, weaned and eating solid food before we allow them to go to new homes. This varies for kids but we let them go no sooner than 9 weeks for males and usually around 12-16 weeks for females. We dam raise whenever possible and do not generally sell bottle babies. Change is stressful on young kids and we feel it's healthier for them to get the best start here on the farm before they go to new homes. All kids are disbudded (no exceptions), tattooed and come with registration papers for both registries. Wethers are banded before leaving our farm. We do not sell kids for meat. We do not sell kids cheaper without papers, even if it's only for a pet. Our prices reflect the considerable investment we have in our herd: in healthy, quality animals, the best feed and management practices and annual testing and we believe they are fair. We don't sell "cheap goats"; we sell healthy, quality goats. All deposits are non-refundable.
