Pepper, queen of our herd is officially retired at Dawson Gap Farm. She holds a special place in our hearts as our first Finished Champion, first GCH and first SGCH doe in our herd.

In 2016 she placed 18th at ADGA Nationals and also earned her permanent LA score EEEE-91. For her first year on DHIR, Pepper produced 930 lbs of milk, 60 lbs of butterfat and 37 lbs of protein in just 278 days which earned her recognition on the ADGA 2016 Youth Production Testing Doe Honor Roll.

Her legacy lives on in her grand daughter Apache pictured below.

Dawson Gap Herd Management

Kids are dam raised on our farm and constantly handle by our 6 children making them very friendly.  They are disbudded, dewormed, weaned at 8-10 weeks, and ready to go to their new homes.

We follow many practices recommended in Pat Colby’s book, “Natural Goat Care” and have greatly benefitted from the information found on the Fiasco Farm website.  We use herbal and natural remedies first and drugs only when needed. We strive to have vibrant, healthy Nigerian Dwarf goats by feeding high quality Alfahay, Dawson Gap Naturals goat feed, and rotating paddocks & pasture so they can browse as God intended.  Goats require high copper in their diet so they always have access to our Dawson Gap Custom Goat mineral formulated by Fertrell. We offer kelp, baking soda, and loose salt to our herd.

In 2022 our adult herd tested negative for CAE & Johne’s. Kids that we retain are tested once they are a year old. Bucks are tested every year.
