Black Hoof Farm was established in 2019 in Arkansas and moved to Jay Okalahoma in 2022. Our herd is mainly made up of ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarves but we also have a smaller herd of ADGA registered Oberhasli's, MDGA registered Mini Oberhasli's, a token Nubian and a few unregistered Nigerian Dwarves.
I grew up around Nubians but found Nigerian Dwarfs much quieter and easier to handle by myself. I also fell in love with the sweet, quieter personality of the Oberhasli breed as well as the abundance of milk in a more medium sized goat. While I started off simply wanting goats that put milk in the pail, it didn't take me long to realize that not all Nigerians were truly dairy quality animals and that most unregistered Nigerians are actually only pet quality. With that realization I made the hard decision to change to a registered herd and started to focus on production, form and ease of keeping. We do still keep a few unregistered and homebred Nigerian dwarves who have proven themselves to be valuable members of our herd.
We keep a fairly large herd of around 50 adults and we test them all annually for CAE, we test our bucks twice a year. We are abscess free, but if any are seen, we will have the pus tested as that is the most accurate diagnosis for CL. We are hoping to start milk testing in 2026 and hope to start linear appraisals in 2026-2027. We began offering goat milk to the public in 2025 and will continue to do so in 2026.
We hybrid raise every kid born on the farm to ensure they have the best start in life, while staying friendly and easy to handle. We feed them pasteurized goat milk for biosecurity. All bottle kids will be sold when they are solidly on the bottle, have been disbudded and are over ten days old. We do not sell goats to homes without another goat- goats are herd animals and require a companion of the same species. I There are too many things that can go wrong when goats are kept without a companion. Wethers make excellent pets and can be companions for both does and bucks.
We are happy to offer advice and mentorship with every goat that we breed. We will not hold for over 24 hours without a deposit in place, unless the delay is on our side. Unfortunately our previous hold policy was taken advantage of too many times. We do offer a free first contact list on any kids born that are not being retained- this list is a curtesy and does NOT mean the goat is yours. It simply means we will message you before we publicly post the goat if they are still available and you will be given 24-48 hours to let us know your decision. For those who want a concrete assurance that you will get a specific kid, you can place a deposit that will ensure that they will go to you. Deposits are non refundable unless the cancelation is on our end for some reason, in which case it will be fully refunded.
Deposits for kids going at weaning age are $50 per animal until they are ready. They must be picked up or have arrangements for pickup made within 7 days of you being notified that they are ready or your deposit and the animal will be forfeit. Deposits to hold bottle babies are $25 for 3 days or less, $50 for 4-7 days, and half of the total cost of the goat if over 7 days. Additionally, a boarding fee will be added to any bottle kid being held over a week.
While the farm mainly raises dairy goats, we also raise Blue, Black and Blue Splash English Orpingtons, Speckled Sussex, Ermine Ameraucana, Blue Splash Americana and Easter Egger chickens. We offer hatching eggs and occasionally chicks in the spring, we offer eating eggs the rest of the year.
During the summer months you can find us every Saturday at the Farmers Market in Grove Oklahoma. We offer our homemade goat milk soap, herbal infused body balms, wire wrapped crystal jewelry and much more. We also can be found showing off our weirder side at various traveling oddities markets and conventions. Our facebook page is where we update if we are going to miss a week or be at a special event so please follow us on there as well!
We are located in the corner of North East Oklahoma- we are technically in Jay Oklahoma but we are actually just a short 10 minute drive to the Arkansas and Missouri boarder. We are about 50 minutes from Bentonville Arkansas, and hour from Joplin Missouri or Neosho Missouri and an hour and forty five minutes to Tulsa Oklahoma. Please see the map below for an idea of our location. Because we are fairly remote, we can sometimes meet up to an hour away.
Our Location- we are between Jay Oklahoma, Southwest City Missouri and Maysville Arkansas.
