Welcome to Double Helix Dairy Goats
Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Under the herd name Double Helix, we have been breeding the very popular Nigerian Dwarf since 2015. Our aim is to improve each generation in conformation and milk production. It is rewarding and fun to see that happening in our herd.
Our herd began linear appraisal in 2018, and DHIR in 2019. The feedback has been valuable for achieving our goal of improving each generation. Our does have become very competitive against large, well-known herds, which is very fun feedback.
With small acreage, we must keep a small herd. Therefore, we often have kids, as well as mature does for sale.
It is difficult to work traveling to shows into our schedule, but we go to two or three per year. But as our herd continues to improve, I imagine we will work harder to find that travel time!
We are on Facebook as Double Helix Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Publishing a website has been slow going.
NOTE: In 2024, we have encountered life and health changes that led us to decide to reduce our herd to a few favorites as pets and pasture care only. We are trying to sell most of the herd quickly.
