Welcome to our Nigerian Dwarf dairy herd!
We participate in ADGA-sanctioned Dairy Herd Improvement & Linear Appraisal yearly in order to ensure excellent milk producing ability and conformational correctness in our herd.

Our farm is located near Pittsburgh PA in the southwestern part of the state. I established the Rosebay Ridge herd in 2013, and the herd has expanded to about 15 milking does. I'm focusing on does who can prove themselves in the show ring but excel in the milk pail. I have 2 finished Grand Champion does from the 2019 show season, both with their Superior Genetics, as well as a finished Champion homebred buck. The does and I just completed our 4th year of ADGA DHIR milk test,
Several of the does have previously earned their *M AR . I've added some of the heaviest milking lines since 2018. Contact me to be on the wait list for performance-quality kids due August-November 2021 via this site or on Facebook.
*I maintain a CAE/Cl/ Johnes free herd in a TB/ Brucellosis free state, and we test yearly.
*I have several polled does in our herd, as well as one polled buck, so we often have polled kids available.
*The 2021 breeding schedule is complete. You can get on the list for fall or early spring kids. A deposit will hold a certain chosen kid, born or not yet born . Please send me questions about the pairing that interests you. To see newborn kid photos as they're born, see Rosebay Ridge Farm on Facebook, or use Messenger, for quick response.
Almost all kids are bottle fed. Most are also dam raised. I believe that dam raising (with supplemental bottles) provides them with the best nutrition possible as well as a pleasant, friendly personality without the demanding trait found in bottle reared kids. I also see a much more stable social hierarchy in my doe herd when I let does form family units, so the does I retain will always be dam raised when possible.
