These
wonderful animals are great pets, milk producers, equine
companions and brush and weed control--they even eat the
dreaded yellow star thistle. They are small and easy to
care for and are at home on small or large properties. We
breed for temperament first, and then for show quality,
colorful Nigerians. Most of our kids will be NDGA and AGS
registered. Call to reserve yours or come for a visit
today. To see what we currently have for sale, or see our
KIDDING SCHEDULE for 2012, please check out our

Abe is the
quintessential Phoenix Farm Nigerian: Friendly, gentle,
funny, with elegant quality, top bloodlines, and dairy
character and pedigree. The fact that he's a blue-eyed lap
goat is the icing on the cake. This little guy made a
dramatic entrance in to the world on the Fourth of July,
and he's been turning heads and gaining attention ever
since. We can't wait to see what he produces.

Tango came to us
from a top breeding program of show Nigerians, and he
displays all the hallmarks of their carefully cultivated
genetics. Textbook conformation, the most corrct, straight
legs you can find, and an elegant character and bearing. If
only we had the time to show him! These pictures don't do
him justice!

Cloudy is the queen
of our little herd, our best producer and a goat who will
make you fall in love with the breed, She is smart,
sensible, lvoing, and gentle, and a top quality doe with an
excellent show record and dairy qualities. Her kids are
uniformly friendly and beautiful, and prove themselves in
the pail. She did not take in 2011, but we will try again
next year. Whether she breeds again or not, Cloudy has a
home with us for life.

Imp
is the daughter of our foundation doe Zena (see below), and
the dairy influence of her sire has improved on her
mother's udder shortcomings.
Her sire Storm comes from strong milking lines including
his dam, Zinnia. Storm's full brother is MCH Twin
Creeks BW Perfect Storm who was the 2002 National
Champion. But what makes Imp
one of John's favorites is her funny and bold personality.
If you feel someone nibbling on your shoes or back pocket
when in the goat pen, chances are good it's just Imp saying
hi! Her kids share he bold personality and sense of humor,
and while she doesn't have the most show worthy udders, she
is incredibily capacious in her production. her kids are
ideal for homesteaders or small cheese producers--you get a
lot of bang for your buck.

Amakua
is a Hawaiian word for ancestral spirits, and when this
little girl popped out of her Mom, it took only moments to
know we would be retaining her. Despite the funny pose in
this photo, she is the goat that always draws the visitors
eyes and interest. She has it all: color, dairy, and the
calm, gentle spirit of her mother, combined with top
pedigree and dairy quality of her sire's family. Everything
we love about Cloudy, we love about this brightly colored
girl. She produced two of the prettiest kids in 2011, and
both were snapped up almost immediately.

Norma is a real
lady: quiet and always looking to demonstrate her good
breeding. She is just a pretty doe, as simple as that--to
meet her is to know that naming her after Marilyn was very
apt. She is the neice of top show buck, Miracle Kids
Captain Morgan, and has lovely blue eyes as well. Never one
to miss an occaision, Norma delieverd two spectacular
bucklings on the Fourth of July in 2011. One has been
retained intact, the other was wethered, and has found a
home as a lap goat. She'll be taking 2012 off from
breeding, but we should have kids by her in 2013.

Anastasia is simply beautiful. Everything a Nigerian doe
should be-petite, dairy, elegant, and posessing nearly
perfect leg conformation. Undefeated in the show ring, this
gorgeous doe is an amazing addition to our herd, and we
can't wait to see what she produces. Thanks to the
Tolbert's at Miracle Kids for letting this lovely lady come
join our herd!

"Shadow" is a
beautiful goat, leggy, elegant, and so very diary. She also
has the cutest face, and ears you can imagine. Shadow is a
little shy with big people, but loves children. We are
thankful to the Tolbert's of Miracle Kids for letting this
beautiful young girl come to live with us. Can't wait to
see what she produces!

Goey
is the smallest of our does, and we fell in love with her
Nike swoosh on her side. We selected her because she was by
Wodhaven Farms Latigo, who is known for putting quality and
temperament on his kids. Latigo is the sire of our
foundation doe, Fish (see below) so we were eager to add
more of this blooline to our herd. She produced a charming
pair of kids for us in 2009, and triplets in 2011, and she
proved to be an excellent mother.
Gone But Not Forgottten:
We
said goodbye to two special girls in 2009. "Fish" and
"Zena" (pictured below with their 2009 kids) formed the
foundation of our herd, and losing them was a terrible
blow. We miss them every day.
