Having started off with purebred Anglo Nubian goats, we now have a range of breeds and cross-breeds, with the aim of breeding a goat that is hardy enough to thrive outdoors grazing grass, while also producing milk ideal for cheese making.

 

Anglo Nubians are known as 'the Jersey cow of the goat world' due to the high fat content of their milk, which makes it particularly creamy and prized by cheesemakers. We have now crossed them with British Toggenburg and French Alpine goats, and some British Sanaan, and have a range of 2, 3 and 4 way crosses between these breeds too. Our aim is to breed our own 'Welsh dairy goat': it's a work in progress!

 

We now have over 250 goats in our herd. People often ask us whether the goats have names - yes, they all do! They have strong personalities and are great fun to get to know and work with.

 

The goats graze outside on permanent pastures during the grazing season, which usually runs from about March to October. We are very proud of the high welfare standards in our own herd, which includes some unusual features for the dairy sector, such as allowing replacement kids to be naturally reared by their mothers until they are old enough to be weaned off milk.
