Northern Dawn Nigerian Dwarfs

    We are a small farm located in the old time town of Goshen, Utah. We would
    like to welcome you to our goat page.

      Herd started on Dairy Herd Improvement (DHIA) milk testing, super   
      milky long term milking does.  Two of their does already received their *D milk
      awards. Some milk 1/2 gallon or close, and milk for well over a year easily.

    Recently we have gotten into the Nigerian Dwarf goats. They are such fun
    loving little animals; very affectionate. They are really growing on us, with their
    great personalities. Sometimes when I am milking, another of the goats will
    come and rest her head on my leg. When I pick up a kid, some of them will put
    their front legs around my neck. Still others will lick your face. Often times they
    will come and look up at me as if to say, “Please give me a hug.”

    Nigerians can also be used for milking, as many  
    of them give high quantities of milk for their size
    and also quality milk.

    Our 2011 spring kids were already born and
    placed in new homes, except for two later kids,
    whom we haven't advertised yet. Soon, we will
    have a doe
    kidding for fall kids. We look forward to our
    spring kids, as well.

    Nigerians are easy to handle, yet give us quality, sweet tasting milk with good
    quantity for home use. We have several bucks to choose from in our 2010
    breeding season. We try to choose bucks that will complement our doe's
    conformation or improve it. Nigerian bucks can also be used with standard
    sized does, to create first generation Minip-goats. Examples are Mini Nubian
    and Mini Alpine.

    We raise quiet goats, who are used to a variety of experiences. Also our does
    are milked daily and milk weights/quantities are taken with each milking. The
    reason for this is to show how much milk they are actually giving, so there is no
    guess work. You will know what you are buying, if you purchase a milk goat.
    Milk samples are sent into a DHI lab monthly to monitor butterfat and protein. It
    is the butterfat that gives the sweet tasting milk that tastes much like cow's
    milk.
