Mini Silky
Mini Silky goats are characterized by their long, soft, and flowing coats, which give them a distinctive and attractive appearance. These goats are typically friendly and social, making them great companions and pets. Due to their unique coat, Mini Silky goats require regular grooming to prevent matting and maintain their luxurious coat. Silky-coated goats are often the result of selective breeding for their hair type, and they can vary in size and color. They are valued both for their beauty and their gentle temperament, fitting well in both farm settings and as beloved pets.
​Nigerian Dwarf
Nigerian Dwarf goats are small, friendly, and adaptable dairy goats known for their playful nature and high milk production despite their compact size. These goats are popular for their sweet, creamy milk and their vibrant personalities, making them excellent pets as well as productive farm animals. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, with gentle temperaments that suit families and small farms alike. Their manageable size and ease of care make them a great choice for those looking to raise goats, whether for milk, companionship, or show.
Fainting
Fainting goats, also known as Myotonic goats, are a unique breed known for their tendency to "faint" or stiffen and fall over when startled due to a genetic condition called myotonia congenita. Despite this, they are hardy, good-natured animals often kept for their gentle temperament and meat production. Fainting goats are typically medium-sized, with muscular builds, and they come in various colors and patterns. Their calm nature and easy-going demeanor make them excellent pets and novelty animals.
