BLUE RIDGE

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. The latest changes were made on  August 20, 2008. 

Thank you for your interest in Blue Ridge Dairy Goats. Our goal has always been to raise beautiful, healthy, and strong animals. Although our breeding program began as show oriented, we are moving toward milk improvement to enhance our Class A dairy. Thus we have not forgotten the milk pail. In our small Alpine, Lamancha, Nubian, Recorded Grade, and Oberhasli herd we have produced four (4) does with Milking Stars (and many more that would win them if we had time to get them tested). Since 1995 we have finished twenty six (26) Permanent Champions and we currently have an additional  (22) does in our herd with at least one championship leg including several with two.

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. Repeat buyers are given a discount. 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 those.

When you select your prospective kid from our breeding program, please reserve them early. 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/
