Two does, one bad fence, and a decade of learning by doing.

Pure Goat Farms is a family-run dairy-goat operation. Everything we publish comes from chores done on our own land, not research pulled from somewhere else.

- HOW WE STARTED

From two backyard does to a working dairy herd.

We brought home our first pair of Nigerian Dwarf does not knowing the difference between browse and pasture, or how fast a goat can find the one gap in a fence. The first year taught us more about fencing, hoof care, and patience than any book could have.

A decade on, Pure Goat Farms is home to 27 goats across six breeds, a working milking parlor, and a rotational pasture system we rebuild every spring. We still make mistakes. We just write about them now, so you don’t have to repeat them.

Pure Goat Farms Story
- HOW WE WORK

Our approach to every guide we publish.

- 01

Test it on the herd

Every routine, ratio, or remedy runs on our own goats for at least one full season before it becomes a guide.

- 02

Write down the exact numbers

Real feed weights, real costs, real timeframes — the specifics that generic farming advice tends to round away.

- 03

Update it every season

Kidding season, breeding season, and pasture conditions change what's true. We revisit guides as things shift.

- THE HERD, TODAY

What's grazing the back forty right now.

Nigerian Dwarf & Nubian does

Our dairy line — high butterfat, easy hand-milking, and the source of most of our Milking & Dairy notes.

Boer crosses

Raised for meat and pasture management, and where most of our grazing and browse-line notes come from.

A rotating cast of kids

Every kidding season adds a handful of new personalities — and a fresh set of first-hand notes.

Send it over — if enough people ask the same thing, it usually becomes its own field note.
