Do people travel from outside Maine to purchase your goats?

Why do you breed Nubian dairy goats?
After more than sixteen years of breeding dairy goats, we’ve found Nubians to be one of the best breeds for families and homesteaders.
Their larger size, calm temperament, high-butterfat milk, and dual-purpose versatility make them ideal for fresh milk, cheesemaking, yogurt, kefir, meat production, and building a resilient homestead.

What makes your breeding program different?
Our breeding program is built around one simple philosophy:
Performance Proven. Homestead Focused.
Rather than selecting goats primarily for the show ring, we focus on the traits that matter on a real homestead and in a working artisan micro dairy, including milk production, maternal ability, growth, longevity, temperament, and practical performance.

Do you keep breeding records?
Yes.
Every breeding is documented using professional Farmbrite herd management software.
Our records include:
- Pedigrees
- Breeding history
- Kidding records
- Growth rates
- Health records
- Milk production
- Performance observations
These records help us continually improve our herd while giving buyers confidence in the animals they purchase.
Are your goats registered?
Many of the foundation animals that built our herd originated from registered, performance-oriented bloodlines.
While our primary focus today is producing practical, high-performing homestead dairy goats rather than maintaining a registered breeding program, every breeding on our farm is documented and traceable.
We encourage buyers to evaluate the complete picture—including genetics, production history, temperament, growth, and long-term performance—not registration alone.
Are Nubian goats good for first-time owners?
Yes.
Nubians are one of the most popular breeds for beginning dairy goat owners because of their friendly personalities, larger size for easier hand milking, and excellent milk quality.
We’re always happy to help first-time goat owners choose animals that match their experience level and long-term goals.
How many dairy goats should I start with?
We generally recommend starting with at least two goats.
Goats are herd animals and thrive when they have companionship. Starting with a compatible pair usually results in happier, healthier animals and a much better experience for new owners.
Do you help buyers after the sale?
Absolutely.
We want every customer to succeed.
Whether you have questions about feeding, fencing, minerals, kidding, or getting started with a family dairy, we’re happy to share the practical experience we’ve gained from more than sixteen years of raising Nubian goats.
Can Nubian goats provide both milk and meat?
Yes.
One of the reasons we chose Nubians is their versatility.
A productive Nubian doe can provide:
- Fresh milk
- Cheese
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Healthy kids
- Home-raised meat
- Future breeding stock
- Pasture improvement
- Garden manure
For many families, one good Nubian doe becomes the cornerstone of a resilient homestead.
Do you recommend a custom butcher?
Yes.
For customers interested in home-raised goat meat, we recommend Brookside Custom Cutting in Buxton, Maine. They provide custom livestock slaughter and cutting services for goats and may also be able to arrange pickup and transportation of live animals.
