The Sounds of Fall on a Goat Farm 🐐🍂
If you’ve ever wondered what fall sounds like here — it’s loud! The does are in heat and making sure everyone knows it.
We breed for April and May kids, which means this is the start of our next 150-day countdown (that’s about how long goat gestation lasts). The next six months become very focused on them — from nutrition and care to just keeping a close eye on everything.
You’ll notice I don’t often talk in-depth about breeding or kidding online — and that’s intentional. Ask ten farmers how they do things, and you’ll get ten different answers. My own methods are built on years of hands-on experience and education — I’ve traveled all over the U.S. to learn from some of the best in the industry, not just standard dairy operations.
My success rate sits over 97%, and that’s something I take a lot of personal pride in. 💙
We raise Nubians — a registered, closed herd that I run commercially. I breed them to be excellent mothers, with long, productive lactations and strong, reliable traits that carry through every generation. 🐐✨
P.S. Pictured is Praline — she gave me triplet boys in 2025! We keep detailed records on who produces what; there’s a lot of trial and error in pairing genetics. Truthfully, it’s still a bit of a guessing game — odds are always 50/50 — but I’m hoping for a few beautiful does from Praline in 2026. 💕
