Registered Herd
We breed and raise AGS/ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats. We have lines from well known ELITE goats from farms like Old Mountain Farm, Sugar Moon, Dawnland, Valley’s-Edge, Tiny Angels, Wood Bridge Farm and Dill’s.
We currently do not show our goats but plan on starting Classification/Linear Appraisals and milk testing in the future. While we don’t show, we breed for milk production and body correctness for the longevity of a high producing dairy goat that should make an excellent addition to homesteads like ours.

Registries
Currently, we are only members of the American Goat Society (AGS). We are have survived being former ADGA members for a couple of years now…
Our original goal was to either migrate completely to ADGA or dual register goats with both registries.
While we love the tools and programs that ADGA provides, we entered ADGA at a time of dysfunction as first time registered goat owners. The common response of “when ADGA gets their stuff together” or other similar responses concern us. It is not overly expensive to be an ADGA member, but it does add to the cost of raising goats. Goats are simply not cheap to breed and raise, with the registry only adding to the overall cost.
If, in the future, we decide to show our goats, then we may consider re-registering our AGS goats with ADGA in order to participate in ADGA shows. With controversy on social media platforms and forums regarding ADGA linear appraisals and shows, we are not currently interested in participating in those ADGA programs.
Again in the future, we would love to do classification with AGS as well as milk testing with AGS. At this point in time, we are more focused on continuing our breeding program with milk production in mind to earn each member of the herd their milk awards.
