Dairy goat kids available from Ginger Bee Farm in Plaistow, New Hampshire

Dairy goat kid sales

Heritage breeds exist because these animals are worth keeping — not just for milk or for meat, but for both. We honor that by breeding for quality and respecting each goat’s purpose and value, with a commitment to giving them a lifetime of good days and only one bad one.

Meat goats

Tayyib practices
for Halal slaughter

We do not limit our meat sales to the halal market, but we welcome those inquiries, and our ethical and regenerative practices are compatible with tayyib principles.

 

Our does give birth once a year in the spring, five months after the fall breeding season. All kids are raised on milk and are encouraged to forage on herbs, grasses, and tender leaves. Our practices are regenerative and respectful to the nature of the land and the nature of our animals.

 

Our growing goats are fed an entirely vegetarian diet, with no animal-source protein, and rotate through naturally grown forage areas. They have a low-stress, interesting, enriched life, growing up with family and friends and lots of love.

 

Males are castrated (khasi) but are otherwise exactly as they are born – unblemished, uncut, uninjured. Females are available as well.

We have pigs on the farm, but the market goats never contact the pigs and do not share a fenceline. 

 

Meat goat pricing

 

Fall market kids — Roughly six months old, 70–90 lb. Sold at a small premium to that week’s USDA market price achieved at the graded sale in Bowling Green, KY. 

 

Spring qurbani yearlings — Year-old, two-teeth animals, suitable for Eid Qurbani/Udhiya. Sold by live weight per pound.

 

All halal goats are sold live on the farm so you may inspect your goat and choose your own processor. We do not offer halal slaughter or sell halal packaged meat.

Milking doelings 

and show prospects

Each year, a very small proportion of our Saanen, Lamancha, and Nubian babies are available to families and homesteads; they’ll be beautiful, efficient, productive milkers for your household.


We carefully plan each of our breedings, with the goal of making high-quality show does, top producers, and (above all) healthy, growthy, and loving family milkers. We breed for production (which includes temperament), conformation, and thriftiness, in that order. Our does are ADGA-registered, on DHIA-test, and health-tested annually for CAE, CL, and Johne’s. Every doeling we sell comes from a line with documented milk records. 


Milking doelings are sold once they are solidly on the bottle and are healthy and thriving, typically 3-4 weeks old. We administer supplemental selenium, probiotics, and vaccines as appropriate for their age.

When you bring your baby home, you should plan on feeding her two to three quarts of milk a day until weaning. If you do not have a milking doe or feel more comfortable with us raising the kid(s) until weaning, we charge $200/month for full care, including all veterinary needs, and wean at 12 weeks.

 

Dairy doeling pricing

 

Doelings are generally in the high three figures; individuals are priced according to their genomics and potential, as well as the scarcity of their bloodlines and the age of their sire.


We do not sell uncastrated bucklings or bucks. We’ve seen too many, including those of elite pedigrees, be shuffled from farm to farm until they finally end up at the auction barn years later.

Most of our first fresheners will be bred Boer so we can assess udders and growth before dipping into the tank for some special boys. 

 

 We offer reasonably priced ground transport within 150 miles of seacoast New Hampshire, and are experienced air shippers for buyers from farther away.  

Our babies are socialized, affectionate, and love people.


WE DO NOT SELL UNCASTRATED BUCKS OR BUCKLINGS; NO EXCEPTIONS. 

Our dairy goat breeding program prioritizes sound conformation, strong mammary systems, and production records backed by DHIA data. The herd is health tested annually for CAE, CL, and Johne's, and NH Dept of Ag inspected every three months.
