2024 Kidding Schedule

This year we plan on kidding January - March and August - October for continuous milk supply. Reservations are free! Please read our SALES POLICY on our goats. We encourage you to do your homework before bringing your goats home. If you have any questions or concerns about your goat, please ask us! We are learning new things all the time and are happy to share what we have learned. We have made a resource page with links that have been helpful to us. We can typically meet with transport Redding, CA for an extra $100 unless you prefer to pick up from our farm. Please contact Whitney to get on the reservation list or to learn more about taking a cheese-making class. Sales preference to performance homes.

NOTES: Jewel will be a third freshener. These kids will be first generation Mini Nubians. (*These kids will be registered with the MDGA - Mini Dairy Goat Association.) I love Jewel's udder!

Planned pedigree 

​

NOTES: Tia peaked at 7.4 lbs as a fourth freshener. That's almost a gallon! Tia received a great teat placement score and has a sweet and gentle personality to top it all off! Jack is out of an Elite dam, but she unfortunately never finished her lactation with DHIA so he did not inherit his *B. Hoping to find performance homes that will help him earn his +B. Check out the udders behind him though! 

DOE

NOTES: This should be a fun half sibling line breeding. I am hoping that Palmer will bring more inward teat placement for Susan but I am expecting milky kids with gorgeous udders and teats. Susan peaked at 4.9 lbs as a first freshener. Can't wait to see how she does as a second freshener.
