Our Story
Who We Are
We are currently a small operating herd in sunny Yuma, Arizona, just three hours south-west of Phoenix, Arizona.
It is my goal to ensure your experience is held to the highest standards. I personally devote my hard work, time, and money into providing customers with the best possible livestock we can create; I pride myself in raising healthy goats. My goats aren't just a business, they are family. They are fed the highest quality alfalfa hay and dairy grain we can buy. Our goats are all very friendly and have great temperaments. We only breed our girls once a year or less and are careful to make sure they are in excellent body condition for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.
I am confident in the level of service you will receive when you purchase from DesertHardt.
We have a strict bio-security process in place to ensure the health of our herd. All of our goats on the farm are tested with WADDL Labs annually for Caprine Arthritis (CAE), Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL) and Johne's disease. Any new goats that we acquire are held in quarantine for a minimum of two weeks and tested to ensure they are negative.
Our Kids
Our kids are dam raised for two weeks and then introduced to a bottle to allow them to go to homes as bottle-kids. We pride ourselves in raising friendly goats and spend lots of quality time with them to ensure they are well socialized with humans.
All of our Nigerian Dwarf goats are registered with the American Dairy Goat Association, ADGA.
