Why Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats?
*the best tasting goat milk - never a "goaty" flavor
*highest butterfat yield means creamy milk, yogurt, and cheese
*smaller size = smaller pasture and housing requirements
*lots and lots of colors and kids

We currently have several 2008 kids available for sale including registered doe kids and pet wethers.  See our Sales Page for more information ~ thanks!

     Welcome to Whitbred Goats, a Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goat farm in southern Maine.  We raise registered does to provide our family healthy milk and promote the breed by offering qualified registered animals and pet wethers for sale.  The Nigerian Dwarf is uniquely suited to the decreasing farm size of today by requiring smaller shelter and land area while at the same time providing the highest quality milk available, both in flavor and nutrition.   Their good nature, hardiness and wide range of coloring make the wethers (fixed males) exceptional as pets.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION:

    We strive to maintain the highest quality of health in our animals.  All adults are tested annually for CAE (Elisa test), Johne's, and CL.  Results were negative in our first testing year, 2006, and again in 2007.  Members of our herd came only from farms which also routinely test negative and follow strict prevention methods.  Healthy animals produce healthy milk.

     In addition, careful feeding and supplements are essential. Whenever possible we opt for herbal intervention, such as dewormers and topical treatments.  Always accessible to the goats are sodium bicarbonate, minerals with copper and sea kelp.  Clean pens and daily attention not only help prevent problems but provide pleasure to both goat and owner.  Our first year on DHI milk test (2007)showed that our goats earn their keep in the milk pail.  We are participating in DHI again in 2008.
