Thank you for your
interest in a Nubian or Lamancha dairy goat from our farm. We have, or
can try to help locate, a goat for everyone; from a cute spotted Nubian kid to a
beautiful show doe, a practical family milk goat and even a delightful and
endearing Lamancha cart or pack wether.

Please select any link
above for more
information about our goats. The For Sale
link has information about any goats we currently have for sale as well as kids
we are taking reservations for. The Senior Doe,
Junior Doe, and Buck
links will take you to pages with Nubians listed first and Lamanchas listed
after them. Or, if you prefer, you can select a particular goat from the menu
above and
be taken directly to that animal's page. On each individual page the goats full
Linear Appraisal data is listed. The
Reference page has historical animals for both dairy goat herds. The
Useful Links, About Us,
and Care Guide links give you more information
about goats in general and about the herd owners and how we take care of our
dairy goats.
Our goal for both herds of goats is to breed a quality animal that excels
in the milkpail and is structurally correct, while living a long lifespan. We use DHIR records and ADGA
Linear Appraisal scores as our primary gauges of how close we are to those
goals. Show awards earned at local dairy goat shows are a nice bonus, and are
noted when earned, but we are not able to show as often as
we like. We also feel that any of our goats should have a loving and calm,
or laid back, temperament including the bucks. It's no pleasure to have a
goat that you have to chase down to milk or that won't follow you while out
packing on a family camping trip. In addition to these shared goals, we
want the herd of Nubian goats to be tall and powerful and exhibit very strong
breed character. We would prefer the nubian does to have ears extending
past their noses as the breed standard calls for.
Our small farm is located
in Craig County, VA in a high valley between two mountains with lots of National Forest and wildlife
nearby. We are about an equal distance from Roanoke and Blacksburg, Virginia,
and Lewisburg, West Virginia. We love visitors to the farm and will gladly
show off our herd of beautiful goats.
Please feel free to contact us by email or phone
if you have any questions or want more information about our dairy goats or
just goats in general.
