Our Farm

CJ's Goat Farm

Anglo Nubian Ram

Anglo Nubian Female




The Anglo-Nubian has very long, pendulous ears that hang close to the head. The Anglo-Nubian carries a decidedly Roman nose and is always short-haired.

The Anglo Nubian is an all-purpose goat, useful for meat, milk and hide production. It is not a heavy milk producer but has a high average butter fat content (between four and five percent).





British Alpine Male
British Alpine Female



The British Alpine should have a black coat with white "Swiss" markings on its head, legs and around its tail.  The female's short, shiny, black coat set into relief by the contrasting white markings can make it a most attractive breed.
British Alpines are excellent milkers, well known for their extended lactations.  These goats have good-sized teats, which allow easier milking.  They are a good producer of high-quality milk.



Saanen Ram
Saanen Female



Saanen goats are white in colour, sometimes biscuit colored goats can be seen.  There may be some black spots in the nose, ears and udder of this goat.  The ears are generally pointed and erect.  On an average, a female goat produces about 3.8 liters milk daily.




Boer Goat Male
Boer Goat Female



The Boer goat is primarily a meat goat.  It is a horned breed with lop ears and showing a variety of color patterns. The Boer goat doe is a low maintenance animal that has sufficient milk to rear a kid that is early maturing. The mature Boer Goat ram weighs between 110-135 kg (~240-300 lbs) and ewes between 90 and 100 kg (~200-225 lbs).







How important is nutrition?
