Welcome to Guajira's Farm
Located in the high desert Estancia Valley of New Mexico, our 40 acres consists of Blue Gramma grass overlooking the Manzano Mountains. Our land management consists of rotational grazing methods, utilizing our livestock to replenish our soil back to health. We have worked this land from the ground up and are still in the process of building all of our infrastructure. Our goals are to become a self sufficient, self reliant goat dairy. Our beliefs are in working with what nature provides and managing our herd as natural as possible. We have brought in goats from top production lines and want to continue breeding what works with our farms dynamics, and offer other farms the same. What started as a humble homestead has turned into a dream of becoming a small scale dairy that provides our community with quality livestock and farmstead products.
We started with meat goats, then learned how delicious fresh goats milk is, so we started acquiring dairy goats. My first breed of choice was Nubians! There's something majestic about their long beautiful ears and Roman noses, but what sold me is their ability to produce a higher butter fat percentage than other breeds, alongside volume. I started purchasing non registered grade Nubian does and then purchased a registered buck for them. Once I started breeding and my grade does started to Freshen, I learned very quickly how valuable a well bred dairy goat truly is. That's when we decided to start investing in Nubians with the traits I desired in a dairy doe. We sold most of our grade does only keeping the best that I could breed up and further improve with our Purebred Nubian bucks. Here we are today! Someday, we hope to offer grass fed goat meat fully processed by a USDA Certified butcher. Until then, we occasionally offer stock or take kids to the sale barn. Our goal is to one day be fully sustainable off of our 40 acres!
We are not a show herd, although we would like to participate someday. We do not advertise our goats as show quality. Our focus is milk production to our standards, with correct conformation.
We participate in Linear Appraisal and Dairy Herd Improvement with the USDA to achieve the type and production we aim for.
