Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats in Florida!!
Our “Belle” Meadow -April-June
WELCOME TO BELLEMEADOW FARM....
.....Home to a small, special herd of Nigerian Dwarf milk goats! We are hooked on these fun, lovable and milk producing creatures! Not only are they beautiful to look at, entertaining, and huggable...they produce loads of tasty milk!
Our aim is to constantly strive to improve our herd by selective breeding; for conformation, milk production and parasite resistance.
We could say our herd is an "accidental herd" --- if we weren't completely convinced that God is Sovereign and nothing happens without; not only His knowledge; but by His design.
Six of our twelve ORIGINAL goats were graciously given to us, in unsolicited acts of generosity! We are forever grateful for the people that The Lord has placed in our lives!
The value of those goats, which became clear after a bit of research, certainly has added to our deep feeling of gratitude.

OUR NIGERIAN DWARF DAIRY GOATS
With a small herd and a love of taking lots of goat photos, we decided to give each of our does a separate page. Click on the name tabs on the right for each specific and special doe! Our very special bucks are listed below them.
For a quick look - check out the "meet the Does/Bucks" tabs
We will disclose the good and " this needs improving" of each breeding goat on their individual pages. We haven’t hit perfection yet!:) I welcome seasoned breeders who would like to comment on our herd.
( Yes, that was a shameless appeal for free advice!)
The girls see the neighbor’s dog!
We welcome those of you that are looking for kids that will grow up to be home Milkers for your family!
We also welcome those interested in starting their own herd: for show and milk; and improving it by adding bucks and does from other breeders.
We also welcome those that would like to start a parasite resistant herd with strong kids or adults that have been raised on herbal wormers, herbal anti-biotics ( if needed) and never vaccinated.
We take raising NIgerian Dwarf milk goats seriously. Nigerian dwarfs can make wonderful and useful pets, but, they also require special care- I believe more than your typical dog or cat.
We will be here to help you learn how to raise your goats as natural as possible and to share in your goating adventure!
BREEDING FOR PARASITE RESISTANCE !
Another Bellemeadow difference;
One of our main goals is to maintain a healthy - non- vaccinated -PARASITE RESISTANT HERD!
We are well on our way to producing Does, Bucks and kids with great parasite resistance. We do not use chemical Wormers or vaccinations, and have found the look, size and vigor of our herd to be outstanding!
We welcome any questions about our goats or goat raising in general- and we welcome any advice, comments, or suggestions any time!
Thank You for visiting our site!
