Wax & Wether Nubian Goats
Our goats are the heart of our homestead. While our herd includes a few different breeds, our breeding program is focused on raising quality ADGA-registered Nubian dairy goats with an emphasis on health, temperament, and strong dairy genetics.
From producing the rich, creamy milk used in our handmade products to welcoming spring kids and happily clearing brush around the farm, our goats play an important role in daily life here at Wax & Wether. Every goat has a job, a personality, and a special place in our family.
One of our favorite traditions is naming our goats after beloved characters from our family's favorite children's books and shows. As you meet the herd, see if you can guess which stories inspired their names!
