Homesteader Or Pet Goats

nigerian dwarf goat for sale in Kansas
Since most of our website is devoted to our performance lines we decided to create a special page for us to sell the kids from our does that we are not going to do milk test or linear appraisal on. This is because we didn't want to sell the "original" does as our herd transitioned into breeding for high performance. These originals are very special to us and we love them very much. We want them to live out their days, here, on the farm, so we can enjoy them (by that I mean spoil them), and so that people who don't wish to start out with high performance dairy goats can have an alternative option to start their journey in raising goats! We will put any of these goats that are for sale on this page only. This way it doesn't get confusing to have them listed on our main sale page with our performance lines. 

​Doelings will be sold when they are at least 12 weeks old and will be priced at $450 and up.
Bucklings will be sold when they are at least 8 weeks old. Although we try to keep them on their dams for longer. We feel the typical 8 week weaning date is just such a hard time for them as they are still in the process of transitioning from the immune system support they get from their dam's milk, to taking care of themselves on hay, and managing to keep up a strong immune system all at the same time. Some times we wait 12 weeks for buck kids to be mature enough to be weened, but occasionally they are just getting WAY too bucky, and we will have to wean them at 8 to 10 weeks. We have definitely noticed better weight gain in the ones that are left on their dams as long as possible verses the ones that are weaned at 8 weeks.
​
Bucklings are priced at $350 and up.

These goats will be registerable with AGS. My herd is also tested and free from CL, CAE, and Johne's disease.

Wethers will be available for $100 or two for $150. 

Adult does can also be bred before they leave if the time of year works for my herd. Cost is $250 and includes a pregnancy check to confirm that she's bred and all the needed paperwork to register the offspring. Price is the same regardless of whether you want the registration paperwork or not.

If you are interested in pets or just having a really sweet milk goat or two for your homestead at a slightly lower price point. This page is for you! 

This page is also where we will list wethers when they become available. If you're interested in a wether for a pet, contact us and we'll add you to the wether waitlist. I usually have large-ish groups become available throughout the winter months.

If you are a new customer, please complete our pre-purchase questionnaire before contacting us. You can mention in the form what goat(s) you are interested in and we will honor the order we receive the request. 
Thank you!

    Nigerian Dwarf Goats for the Homestead Dairy...

    Our amazing, sweet, creamy, Nigerian dwarf goat milk!
    I often share this photo of our goat milk with our visitors who are thinking about getting Nigerian goats for their homestead because it illustrates why their milk is so spectacular.
    ​
    This is a half-gallon jar of our goat milk from December 2024, after two weeks in the fridge. Can you see the cream line??! The whole jar is two-thirds cream!! And it's sweet with no hint of goat flavor. No other goat breed can compare to the flavor and quality of a Nigerian.

    An interesting fact we learned, however, as we started our journey raising dairy goats in 2016, we learned that not all dairy goats are created equal in the milking department. Our first couple of "dairy" goats came from a very well-known breeder in the Midwest, but it wasn't a breeder who actively participated in milk testing; basically, she just bred for fun colors and blue eyes (nothing wrong with that; that was actually a big part of what initially drew us to this breed). They were perfect goats for us to start with; we didn't have a huge investment in high-quality genetics while we figured things out (translate: made lots and lots of mistakes). But the milk these does produced was just okay...nothing special to be sure.

    A few years later, I got more interested in milk test programs and genetics and spent many hours researching. We started working with breeders like Southern Grace (and shortly after Sinai Thunder and D & L Meadows), who were actively breeding for excellent dairy goats. We got our first goats from each of them in 2019.
    ​
    The difference in milk quality after this was night and day! We were amazed. It made me realize how worthwhile it was to invest in the better goats, from breeders who track the milk production and quality. After all, the feed and infrastructure are typically going to cost more than the actual goat; even the price of a very good quality show goat is not going to surpass all the other combined expenses over its lifetime. And those feed and infrastructure expenses are the same regardless of whether it's a great milker or a poor one. For the past several years, we have also been actively tracking our milk results and weeding out the poor producers with low butterfat from our herd (except for the ones my mom is really attached to and won't let me sell, lol). Now, as you can see by the photo, all that hard work and selection is paying us back with liquid gold!
