About UsIn 2010 we sought out a pet goat to keep our old Nubian company after our other two goats died. We came across our herd matriarch, SGCH The Northern Fork Kyras Kopper 1*M VEEE90. She was bred to Camanna CS Ravello and gave birth to three very pretty bucklings! Of course, after that the rest is history!
We began breeding in 2011 and by the time we decided to take a break in 2018 we had gotten up to a herd of about 15 does and 6 bucks. It is now 2026.. my kids are older and don't need me constantly so it feels like it might be the right time to jump back in! I am so excited to be back! We were able to acquire some does who descended from the lines we worked so hard on all those years ago. All 3 go back to that herd matriarch who started it all, SGCH The Northern Fork Kyras Kopper 1*M VEEE90 and two go back to her daughter, GCH Rainey Valley SGW Cinnamon 2*M VEEE91 who was our pride and joy. While I am keeping it small to start I do hope and plan to get back into the full swing of things in time.. milk testing, LA and showing. For now I plan to take it one small step at a time so as not to get to overwhelmed.. my kids don't need me 24/7 anymore but they do still require a good bit of my time and attention and I am the sole caretaker for the animals and need to keep a good manageable balance! Nigerians make great pets and companions due to their small size and easy to handle personalities. We enjoy them and get a kick out of the funny antics they can get into. Our goats are handled daily and provided with the best possible care we can give. They are spoiled with free range year round pasture, homegrown orchard grass hay and yummy and nutritious grain and mineral options. Our herd has been selected through countless hours of research on pedigrees, milk testing data, Linear Appraisal scores and show records. Take a look around! Enjoy! |
