Sweet Land Nigerians: Fall cover crop

In late summer we planted radishes as a cover crop where the new garden will be next spring. This root crop benefits the soil, adding organic matter and preventing erosion. It also benefits goats. The herd chomped on the crunchy fresh greens every day this fall. The roots when fully developed also provide a tasty winter treat. Crunch crunch.

Intro

We raise Nigerian Dwarf goats because of their quality: creamy, high butterfat milk, small size, and sweet personalities. They provide our family with a fresh source of raw milk, as well as yoghurt, cheeses, soap, and a variety of dairy products. We love our animals, care for them very well, and are blessed that we are able to raise our own food. Finding the new kids good homes is important to us. Our 13th kidding year will be in 2024, with dairy conformation and gentle temperaments our breeding priorities. You can find more information about each doe on her page, as well as access to her pedigree. All our girls are purebred Nigerian Dwarf goats, and have great milkers in their ancestry.
