Why our goats are special: We hear from everyone who buys our goats that of all the places they visit, our kids are the most friendly. They are like puppies who love to be held and played with. Many visitors come by to hold the kids as they are born and in the 8 weeks before they are picked up, so they love people. We have also worked hard over the past 14 years to build a herd that is resilient, healthy and excellent in the milk room!

If you are interested in a milking goat, you can rest assured that we are breeding for the best milkers we can as a licensed dairy. In the fall, we contact people on the list and collect deposits. We ask people to put down a deposit of $50. to reserve a goat early, which will give you first right of refusal on the goats born this spring. (This deposit is nonrefundable, except in the case of unforeseen major life events, as it covers the expenses leading up to kidding and the time we put into communicating and meeting with new owners.) We often complete the deposit list by January, so consider early and act quickly. We love having time to develop a relationship with owners and to make sure all our goats are going to loving, well prepared homes each year.
We are so excited to have handsome Galactic Jack back this winter! He is sure to make some flashy babies.
Once the kids are born, they need 8 weeks with their mom to drink milk and get strong, so in mid June-August they are ready for new homes. At pick up, people pay the balance due. Neutered males (wethers) are $175. The doelings and bucklings (sold only to well established farms) are $375. Goats must be sold in pairs unless they are purchased as a companion for another goat that is already owned by the purchaser.
After you take the goats home (and as you prepare) we are happy to answer questions as they come up. We love our goats and want them and the people who love them to be happy.
All goats we sell will be disbudded (unless you ask us when they are born to keep the horns), vaccinated, neutered and assigned numbers in case you decide to register and tattoo them.
We have some serious dairy stock. As you go through our doe’s pedigrees, you will see some of the finest bloodlines in the country, including: Old Mountain Farm, Twin Creeks, Rosasharn, Prairie Wood, Stonewall, Denning Hill, Spring’s Run, Dawnland, Valley View, Morning Star, Thornhurst Farm, Flat Rocks and Fairlea. All of our goats are registered with the American Goat Society (AGS). If you choose to, yours can be too! We will give each new owner bringing home does registration papers.
Our whole herd tested negative for CAE and Brucellosis in 2011. Since then any new additions have been from tested herds and we test 1/3 of the herd each year just to be extra sure everyone is doing great. Kelsey at Annabessacook Veterinary Service have been with us for a decade and helps us keep all our herd in the best possible health. We still have the first goat we ever purchased and feel like at 14 years old, Don Pedro is a testament to our good practices in maintaining a herd with the highest standards possible.
As we have had more and more kids each year, we have focused on energy on communicating with new goat parents and posting to Facebook, and have not posted their pictures on the website, but below are some pics of the kids from earlier years! Check out Facebook for pictures of this years kids as they arrive.
