JOYFUL HEARTS FARM

Know well the condition of your flocks,
{And} pay attention to your herds........
And {there will be} goats' milk enough for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your maidens.
Proverbs 27:23,27 (NASB)

NIGERIAN DWARF GOATS FOR SALE

This is the aspect of goat keeping that we do not look forward to. In order to make room for some promising new kids from our current breedings, we have to make hard decisions every summer on who to keep, and which will move on to another herd. If you are looking for an immediate milk supply for your homestead or dairy, please let us know if one of our ladies may meet your needs. You will also find wonderful pet goats, as well as kids as potential show prospects as all of our goats come from the top milk and show lines in the country ~ many Master Champions and heavy milking genetics in our bloodlines.

WHY DO YOU WANT GOATS?

When I get inquiries about purchasing goats I always ask this question first ~Why do you want to own goats? And that should be a good question to ask yourself as well. Of course there is no "wrong" answer ~ but your reason (s) will help ensure that the Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats you purchase from Joyful Hearts Farm will meet your specific needs and goals ~ whether it is for showing, home dairying, acquiring new breeding stock, brush clearers, or as family pets.

At Joyful Hearts Farm we are very proud of our beautiful goats. Our breeding goals aim for correct little dairy goats that will be a pleasure to own, no matter what your goals may be.

WHY A GOAT FROM JOYFUL HEARTS FARM?

We initially made a huge investment in acquiring the highest quality foundation animals. This is reflected by Milk Stars (for example: *D's and *S's and *B's that you see after the goats name); by high Linear Appraisal scores, Classification scores, show wins (MCH/ARMCH), etc. We purposely keep our herd very small so that each goat gets quality care and individual attention.

OUR MOTTO IS "QUALITY ~ NOT QUANTITY!"

We have tested our herd annually since 2005 for CAE & CL via WADDL to ensure our buyers that our herd is disease free. We also back up that claim by providing whole herd test results to our buyers upon request.

We are available after your purchase to provide ongoing support.

In early summer we prepare each buck and doe for the upcoming breeding season by making sure each one is supplied with herbal, vitamin, probiotics, and mineral supplementation which will continue throughout their pregnancy and after kidding. We also carefully evaluate who each doe will be paired with in order to produce the most outstanding kids. Our does are then bred from August through late October, with kids arriving January through April.

We dam raise our kids, but also combine bottle feeding. This is producing hardy, healthy kids for us that are also very people friendly. Read what others are saying about their Joyful Hearts dam raised kids! Buyer Testimonials . Our kids are put on a preventative worming/cocci protocol beginning at 2 weeks of age, as well as probiotics, and mineral supplementation prior to kids leaving our farm. Disbudding and banding are done here as well.

Please be sure to read our Sales Policy . Thank you!

If you are thinking of starting out with these wonderful dwarf goats, or are looking to add some new genetics to your existing herd, please consider a Joyful Hearts goat or two!

SR. DOES FOR SALE

Occasionally we have an adult doe in milk for sale. When we sell a senior doe, we are usually trying to make room in our milk string for upcoming Jr. Does.

BUCKS FOR SALE

We do sometimes offer a mature buck when he no longer fits into our breeding program, or if we need to downsize our herd. If you are interested in any of our bucks we suggest reserving a buck kid!
Bucks kids offered for sale that do not end up selling may be retained for our own breeding program and offered for sale at a later date for a higher price once they are proven herd sires.

DAM: MCH/CH Jobi Lacie *D 'E' (92); LA-EVEE 90

For more information and photo's of Kaipo's sire, Fairlea Jamie Fraser *S 'E' 90 go to the Buck page, and his dam, MCH/CH Jobi Lacie 'E' can be seen on the Sr. Doe page.

Both Kai's dam and sire have Excellent (90 and above) Linear Appraisal scores and Classification scores. Kai was appraised in 2010 at 4 months old as Young Stock and received a "Very Good" final score. He has tight shoulders, a very wide escutcheon, nice wide leg set, tight toes, excellent rear legs and a very nice head, good body capacity, is long bodied and has great general appearance. Having wattles only makes him more adorable. Look at that face!

Kaipo has the potential to produce offspring with excellent general appearance, daughters who have socked on udders, as well as large teats, with LOTS of milk. He has depth of pedigree with incredible milkers behind him top & bottom, as well as high linear appraising animals and numerous finished champions in his background, including his dam, MCH/CH Jobi Lacie *D 92, who is only one show win away from being a Triple Champion!!

Since Kaipo is so closely related to almost everyone in our herd and we can't use him this year, we have decided to offer him for sale to the right party. I was planning on holding him over until next year, however he is very bucky! so he is ready, willing and able to be used this Fall for someone's (your?) breeding program!! Contact for details.
