We have been raising registered Nigerian Dwarf goats since 2010. We started out with a handful of registered does and a registered buck and haven’t looked back.
Our foundation does were Roundabout Bambi- purchased bred, Sunnydale Farm Cordelia, Roundabout Mun Kee Cee, Fittin it in Farm T Dahlia and Birch Ridge Farm Gemmalisa. Our foundation buck was Birch Ridge Farm MM Moon Beam. All from small breeders, but with wonderful pedigrees behind them.
We have added other bucks over the years, but our does are now all homebred.
We strive for a goat that meets breed standard, is parasite resilient, with good temperament and can put milk in the pail. Despite the 11 years of breeding, we are only 1-2 generations from foundation and still working on improving our goats with each generation.
To that end, we participate in Linear Appraisal and most recently DHI. We register our does and bucks with ADGA and AGS. Buck kids from first fresheners are wethered before leaving for new homes as their dams haven’t proven themselves yet and not every buck deserves to breed.
