Why we’re Nuking our Dairy Goat Plan
After years of struggling with ADGA registration for our dairy goat herd it’s time to blow the plan up and get back to the drawing board. We’re starting this new phase by bringing home a couple of Nigerian dwarf goats from our friends at @SageandStoneHomestead !

When we brought our first dairy goats to the homestead our plan was to have an ADGA registered herd. To us, having a pedigree on our goats and the feeling of security that comes with having registration for the animals you pour your heart and soul into was an idea we liked. However after a couple of years in the goat business and fighting through issues with the American Dairy Goat Association we’ve decided to table that plan and focus instead on putting milk in the pail.
We don’t own “show goats.” Of course we want to raise a herd that conforms to breed standard but show quality animals don’t necessarily put more milk in the fridge or help us reach our homestead dreams.
Enter Eidolon, a Nigerian dwarf goat from our friends down the road at Sage and Stone Homestead. Eidolon no longer fit in to Heather and Levi’s current and future plans and it was time to move her on to another farm. Eidolon, as well as her newborn doeling, both has supernumerary (extra) teats. This is considered a defect amongst show goats even though her milking performance is not impacted at all. It turns out that one of our does, Calamity Jane, also has supernumerary teats, we just didn’t notice until after her kidding a couple of weeks ago.
Getting straightened out with the ADGA is going nowhere fast. And after some thought Megan decided, and convinced me, that bringing Eidolon and baby to our homestead moving away from a registered herd was the right move for our family and our farm at this time.
There are a lot of very exciting things happening around our farm right now and we’d love it if you subscribed and joined us on the journey. Thanks for being here – see y’all soon!
