This is our growing herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats - all are registered with ADGA. Our goats are well cared for and usually spoiled! We love our goats and continue to add to our herd as our children are getting older and showing them in 4-H. Kidding season is our favorite time of year although quite stressful with many walks to and from the barn to see how everyone is doing, especially when we have first fresheners getting ready to kid.
We added barn cameras in 2018 so I could keep an eye on everyone from work!
All of our goats tested CAE negative on 2/7/19!

Elsa lost a set of quads during birth in 2018 but quickly started feeding some of the other babies since she was missing her own.
