Owning a milk goat allows you to produce and enjoy fresh healthful whole milk daily. Raising a homestead milking goat takes a minimum amount of space and time. The milk which a goat produces is economical and more nutritious than store bought milk could ever be.

We recommend the small homestead to have at least 2 milking goats. One good milker will provideyou with approximately one gallon of milk per day. While the average family may not drink a gallon of milk per day, extra milk canbe made into yoghurt, butter and cheese.

We have dairy goats for sale in the spring and summer. The price of our milkers starts at $175. Kidprices start at $85.

Our dairy goats are confirmationally sound, have exceptional udders and are from strong milking lines. Saanens, Nubians & Oberhasli;Alpine/Saanen crosses,Nubian/Saanen crosses, Nubian/Boer crosses.

We no longer register our goats with the ADA, but all of our goatscan be registered as grades.

Our dairy goats are bred for milk taste, quality and butterfat content. In our opinion, it doesn’t mean much that a dairy goat is an expensiveregistered purebred if the taste of her milk is poor. Registration papers do not, in any way, guarantee milk quality.

Dairy goats are easy to raise, hardy and the taste of pure unprocessed milk is as remarkable as it is economical!

Please contact us for availability. Because of our selective breeding program, our milkers sell out early in the spring so reserve ahead of time.

Our Oberhasli, Nubian & Saanen Dairy Goats

Oberhasli dairy goats are originally from Switzerland.They are a rich reddish brown color with a black dorsal stripe, legs, belly, and face. Occasionally a black Oberhasli appears as a result of recessive genes. Black does are acceptable, black bucks are not and may not be registered. The breed is smaller in size than the other standard sized (i.e. full sized dairy goats) breeds, and production is also lower. Oberhasli have a gentle, sweet natured temperament.

Oberhasli are listed with the American Rare Breeds Conservancy and preservation efforts have been very positive especially over the past two decades. Quaker Hill Farm (ADGA, Hill Song Farm) was instrumental in bringing Oberhasli goats to Michigan in the 1980′s, importing some of the very first Oberhasli to Michigan in 1985 from New England. Since then, we have delighted to watch their popularity grow knowing that we helped contribute to their preservation. Oberhasli have gone from the endangered list to the “watch list” by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

Oberhasli are easy to manage as a herd due to their gentle nature and are very good milk producers. Plus, they are absolutely beautiful. Contact us for more information if interested in purchasing registered stock.

Saanen dairy goats are exceptional milkers.They are white in color and are very docile and calm. Saanens are a great choice for homestead families who want maximum milk production and easy management in a home dairy project. Milk from Saanen goats is absolutely delicious and generally mildly sweet in flavor.

We have raised Saanens at Quaker Hill Farm since 1987 and have blood lines from some of the top milk producing herds in the United States.
