Our Nigerian Dwarf Goat Breeding Program

Balancing dairy character, sound structure, maternal function, temperament, and long-term usefulness

Our Breeding Objective

We aim for balanced Nigerian Dwarfs that can remain sound, reproduce reliably, raise kids, and contribute useful dairy traits. No single show result, color, pedigree, or milk number replaces evaluating the whole goat.

Kunekune breeding stock from champion lines at Dos Lobos Ranch in Decatur, Texas
K5 Farm Pua, our Trish sow. Her Igenity Swine tests for tenderness is a perfect score! Genetic testing allows you to look under the hood to make predictions about an outcome. In the case of tenderness, the phenotype outcome cannot be tested until the meat hits the plate. We use genetic testing to breed for better pork for our customers who we would love to keep coming back year after year for more!

Structure and Dairy Function

Feet, legs, pasterns, topline, body capacity, bite, rump, udder attachments, teat size and placement, and movement influence longevity and usefulness. Bucks are evaluated for their own structure and the performance of close relatives.

A sow who also scored a perfect score for all of her Igenity Swine tenderness genetics. Unfortunately, a good tenderness score was not enough to keep her around because of her horrible feet and the fact that she had 4 blind teats and couldn't successfully nurse robust litter. She had to go, but man that pork is nice!

Maternal Ability and Temperament

We consider conception, kidding, mothering, kid vigor, udder function, milkability, and disposition. Temperament must support safe routine care without confusing lack of handling with genetics.

Tubby (left) a Chum son, and Moneyshot (right), a Kai son. Both are structurally good as breeding quality boars. Tubby is our retained boar for our breeding program and scored a 7 on tenderness while Moneyshot has not been tested, but has a 25% chance of scoring a 9 on his tenderness test.

Pedigrees, Testing and Records

Registration, pedigree, health records, and available testing add context. We document what each record applies to and avoid claiming that one result guarantees the goat’s future performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all registered kids sold for breeding?

No. Registration eligibility does not automatically make a kid breeding quality.

What traits do you prioritize?

We prioritize sound structure, reproductive and dairy function, maternal ability, health, workable temperament, and overall balance.

Do you select for color?

Color may be recorded, but it should not override structure, health, function, and breeding goals.

Can buyers review pedigrees and records?

Available animal-specific records may be requested before purchase.
