RHYS VALLEY FARM
The most exciting thing to happen to dairy goat husbandry!
Our Story
Once upon a time…
Our story begins with the humble realization that we were meant for something more. Moving from place to place, be it for the military or the job, we knew that we needed to settle down and establish some roots! And so Rhys Valley was born. Needing to stretch our legs and breath the open air we set out to find some land to grow our family on. It just so happened that we decided to grow a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats alongside. Now it is your turn to experience our adventure. We invite you to continue reading our story and we look forward to calling you friend. Hopefully you are inspired to draw near to the creator just as we are every day by the beauty and magnificence of His creation!
Why Nigerian Dwarf?
“An ideal family dairy animal…”
ADGA – American Dairy Goat Association
Nigerian Dwarf goats are just that, dwarves! No they don’t run around with pick axes and thirst for gold but they do sport some mean beards! Weighing in at about 50% of their full-sized relatives Nigerians are funny little critters that 100% live the herd mentality. So why did we choose to go down the path of Nigerian Dwarf rather than a different breed? Based on our pre-herd research we found that Nigerian’s have outstanding milk production for their size and also have great tasting milk! Finally, most mothers tend to take great care of their young and the breed itself is a great breed for those with a competitive nature as there are numerous competitions that Nigerians thrive in!
