About Our Farm

Welcome to our website. We hope you enjoy it! Have fun looking at the goats and the information about them.  This website is always undergoing construction and renovation. To see a larger version of each picture just click on it. 

Thank you for your interest in Blue Ridge Dairy Goats. Our goal has always been to raise beautiful, healthy, and strong animals. Our breeding program began with an emphasis on showing, and since 1995 we have finished forty (40) Permanent Champions and we currently have an additional  twenty two (22) does in our herd with at least one championship leg including several with two. We also have had over 20 Best Doe-in-Show awards. We currently have these final linear appraisal scores for our does: four does with a 92, nine does with a 91, nine does with a 90, thirteen does with an 89, eleven does with an 88. In addition we have 31 does who scored an "Excellent" in Mammary

Because of our dairy operation, we are moving toward increased milk production and hope to begin some milk testing in the near future. Currently our milk goes into making cheese sold under the Obergood label. For more information see www.obergood.com. 

We have always had our herd inspected and we guarantee CAE free animals at the time of sale in adults or at the age of 6 months in kids. Every doe kid (and reserved buck kids) are taken at birth and all births are attended. Kids are raised on pasteurized milk. Three ADGA programs we feel are very important are: Linear Appraisal, Production Testing and Sanctioned Shows.  We offer 4-H discounts to encourage our youth to become involved in the raising of dairy goats and we continue to charge $35. breeding fees to any of our bucks to 4Hers.. It has been our practice to retire our does when they finish their championships (dry animals getting a restricted leg are pulled from our show string till they come into milk), so you have to come to our place if you want to see any of them.

If as you browse through our does and bucks, you see a match that you would be interested in reserving, please let us know. We are only planning to keep a few doe kids for herd replacement in the future. Therefore if we do not have a kid reserved, the does may be milked-thorough, dried or bred for a meat kid. So, if you are interested in a Blue Ridge kid, let us know as soon as possible. Prices will be in line with the previous kids crop, but may not be posted on our web site unless that doe is part of our planned breedings. All others will be negotiated when you contact us. You will be notified at the time of kidding if we can provide your selection, if not, adjustments will be made to your satisfaction. We will either, at buyer’s choice, substitute another kid or refund the deposit. The price listed on our sale list is for kids prior to birth! (kids reserved before birth will be sold to buyers at the price indicated). However unreserved kids may be pulled from the sales list or offered at a different price.

If you have any questions, or want more information to help in your selection, please feel free to call, write or email us. We are always ready to talk about dairy goats. We are members of the Maryland Dairy Goat Association (MDGA) http://www.marylanddairygoat.org/
