Quality Dairy Goats

Nubians
Thank you for your interest in our herd. We have been breeding quality dairy goats for over 20 years. After adopting our son in 2002, we felt it would be better to raise him in a country atmosphere, so purchased a small acreage in rural Nampa in 2004. The Nigerians seemed perfect for the small space. In 2006 we moved to our acreage in Homedale. We are nestled against the scenic bluffs of the Owyhee mountains, with 2.5 acres of sprinkler-irrigated pasture for the goats to enjoy!
Our Nigerian herd is a collage of some of the finest animals we could find. It is our goal to breed a long bodied, angular Nigerian Dwarf that is structurally sound, and produces an adequate milk supply.
We believe strongly in promoting our herd, and breeding the best animal that we can; due to this no bucks will be sold from first fresheners, we prefer to evaluate the doe thoroughly before potential herdsires are kept. All of our Nigerians are registered with the American Dairy Goat Association, and some dual registered with the AGS and/or NDGA. This is our 3rd year on standard DHIA, and we appraise the Nigerian herd bi-annually.
We enjoy competing with our Goats and our young herd has done quite well. We attend 3 to 6 shows a year, and try to attend at least one out of state show so we can evaluate our animals with those from other areas.
We require a $75.00 deposit to reserve the kid of your choice. If that kid is unavailable, we will place your deposit towards another kid of your choice, place it towards a kid from the following kidding season, or refund your money. Note: No refunds on cancelled orders!
All of our kids are removed at birth and raised on pasteurized milk from a lambar, and are housed separately from the mature animals. We have a clean, "closed" herd, and vaccinate regularly. Due to this, we do not offer buck service. However, limited semen is available on some of our bucks. We are on the federal scrapie eradication program, and while we do not test for CAE on a regular basis, we have tested animals when requested and have never had an issue. All of our foundation stock came from CAE free herds. We feed the best quality of alfalfa we can find, with bicarbonate and mineral salt available free choice.
We guarantee the health of our animals at the time of shipment, but we cannot guarantee your management. If any genetic abnormalities are found, please send a letter from your veterinarian stating the issue, and we will work on getting your replacement. Since we maintain a closed herd, we will not allow animals to return after leaving, but if you are requesting a replacement, you must notify us prior to selling the animal in question. We may then ask for the problem animal to be euthanized or neutered by a vet and a certificate sent to us, depending on the reason asking for the replacement.
We do ship; If you need to use our kennel, we require an additional $75.00 deposit, which is refundable upon return of the kennel. Odeon will provide transportation to the air terminal, but all other shipping and related costs will be paid by the purchaser (airfare, health papers, etc.) We prefer to ship via Alaska Airlines, but we have also shipped via Delta Airlines with no problems! We will gladly help you make shipping arrangements that are the most cost effective. We do however love to show off our animals, and would love to have you come to the farm to pick up your purchase in person whenever possible!
In addition to breeding quality Dairy Goats, we also breed miniature schnauzers. We usually have 1 or 2 litters a year, so check out the Schnauzer side of our website if you are interested in a puppy! http://www.schnauzersr-us.com
Thank you again for your interest, and if we can be of any further help please do not hesitate to ask.
