Welcome to Laurel Haven!
We are located in the beautiful woodlands of South Carolina.
We raise quality Nigerian Dwarf goats as our family hobby and for milking. We do have lots of other animals too, and most
importantly our three beautiful children. All of which are happy, healthy and given lots of TLC.
Our interest in Nigerian Dwarf goats all began back in 2002
when my daughter received her first two miniature goats for her birthday. We quickly fell in love with these unique little
dairy goats and now we are hooked. As our love and devotion for this unique dairy breed grew, we became a member of the American
Goat Society (AGS) & American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA).
Our primary goal is to produce & raise
healthy dairy goats that inspire a sweet disposition, correct conformation, and improved mammary system. It
is our belief that buck selection is key to breed improvement. We have tried to establish a herd full of excellent dairy does
with outstanding mammary genetics to work with. But most importantly, we have concentrated on bucks that we feel will make
improvement in dairy characteristics in the Nigerian Dwarf for both the milk room & in the show ring. So therefore, we
are always trying to breed for improvement in our future Laurel Haven goats to develop correct conformations & mammary
systems, and yet keeping that gentle, friendly natured personality we so much love about them...
Our goats health is very important to us. We test annually
for the following diseases CAE, CL, Johnes. Our goats are fed
the best of hay & grains and all of our animals are on a regular immunization program. For more about our goat management
