About Golden Shepherd Farm

Our farm is just starting out and we are thrilled to introduce our Nigerian Dwarf herd to you! Our goals in breeding these lovely little goats are to produce high-producing, easily-milkable, and friendly Nigerian Dwarves with the conformation and genetics to stay healthy and happy for their entire lives. We’d like to set a new standard for homestead Nigerian Dwarves by breeding for performance in a homestead animal. Making it easier for you to have delicious goat milk at home and enjoying the company and ease of care these smaller goats provide!

Additionally, we are looking to make healthy goats for healthy families. We currently do vaccinate our goats with the CD/T vaccine and we deworm once yearly pre-kidding season and as needed. We feed Kalmbach dairy grain, Standlee organic alfalfa pellets, and alfalfa-grass hay to our milking does and Kalmbach kid start-right grain and Calf-Manna to our growing kids. Our bucks get supplemental alfalfa pellets and dairy grain pre-breeding season. We supply Redmond goat rocks and Sweetlix Meat-Maker loose minerals to keep our minerals up.

Currently, we do plan to milk test through the ADGA, participate in linear appraisal when we get an opportunity to do so, and actively participate in ADGA shows to learn about what we can do better with our Nigerian Dwarves and prove their capabilities starting in 2027.
