Did You Know?
AppleJo Farms offers Goat Transport for kids purchased by Homesteaders in Missouri and northern Arkansas. This affordable Transport service helps make it possible for many to purchase AppleJo Farms kids and pay a reasonable rate for us to Transport your kids directly to you at your Homestead.We still encourage all who can make the trip to pick up your kids here at AppleJo Farm to do so as the Free Pick-up-Day Workshop is worth participating in. You will learn how to tattoo and give injections and hoof trim and fully care for your kids as they come home to your Homestead, at NO additional cost to you.In fact, when you get your AppleJo Farms kids, you also get a Mentor as you navigate your way through the process of learning how to care well for your Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats. Caring for dairy goats is much more than providing feed and water, much more. You will need help. From my experience, rarely do you get this type of support when you acquire your goats from sale barns or breeders who do not have a well maintained herd of their own. Best advice: do not cut corners just to get some goats. And not all dairy goats of a breed are equal in how much milk they give either. You know that saying, you get what you pay for, that is almost always true with animals such as dairy goats too. Be wise, be patient, save the funds it takes to buy well in the beginning and all along the way, for your dairy goat journey to succeed. Questions: text first please 417-665-89963 Sires Will Be used for Breeding for our 2024 Fall Kids:
#1 Tiny Hill Scots Tavish is a *B buck and his sire is also a *B buck. Tavish is DNA confirmed & has ALPHA-s1 CASEIN A/A variants. A cheese maker! Tiny Hill Farm Nigerians have extremely competitive milking genetics, including two Top Ten does in 2020, 15 Elite goats in August 2023, 14 Elite goats in December 2023, and four ADGA Young Sire Development Program Qualifiers in 2020. AppleJo Farms owns 6 Tiny Hill Nigerians. We will have 3 Tiny Hill Does having babies this Fall. I highly recommend you make a Reservation or at least get on our wait list for these kids as they will go fast!

Kona's Reservation list is already full, and we are taking Wait List applicants only, for her, at this time.
AppleJo Farms is enjoying our brand new Dairy Barn Milking facility. We are very concerned that our kids become socialized and we also milk the does. This kidding season begins here late February and with it begins a new way of nurturing our kids. We have talked with many experienced goat keepers and have decided to separate kids from their mothers and start them on their mothers milk immediately after they are born and cleaned, from a bottle. So our customers will enjoy very very friendly kids!
New Testing is being done over time on all of AppleJo Farms Goats. Each goats DNA is used to perform this very important test to find out what variants our milk contains of Alpha-S1 Casein.
What is Alpha-S1 CaseinThe gene underlying the production of Alpha-S1 Casein in goat's milk shows polymorphisms that affect the amount of protein and fat produced. This test detects variants known to be correlated with high and low production levels of alpha-s1 casein.Phenotype: The gene underlying the production of alpha-s1 casein in goat's milk shows polymorphisms that affect the amount of protein and fat produced. Higher levels of alpha-s1 casein are associated with the best cheese-making, and research suggests that low levels may be associated with reduced milk sensitivities for some people.Variants:
- E, F, N = associated with low content of alpha-s1 casein

2024 AppleJo Farms'Homestead Goals & News For the SeasonI'm so proud of all of you Modern Homesteaders! People ask me why I have invested so much effort and money in such top quality goats when I don't show or put them in performance programs at this time. Here's the reason. The time and expense involved in participating in those excellent programs, will take away from accomplishing my chief goal & focus. This is to support Homesteaders like you! I want all of you who have the need for a highly productive dairy herd to be able to afford to buy them at a reasonable fair price and flourish under your care. To do this, I need to be here at AppleJo Farm tending to the daily needs of our herd and the Homestead, spending resources wisely. The results are worth it! Kids available from our breeding are robust, human socialized, with higher volume & quality milk production & show potential. All of that and more, available at an affordable price for many Homesteaders.2023 was all about finding the very best genetics in specific Dams and Bucks which have an outstanding record in Performance Programs such as the ADGA Top Ten Performance Breed Leaders List. These are leaders in Milk Production, Butterfat Productions and Protein Production. Also, other Performance Programs and ADGA National winners have factored prominently in my search of bucklings and doelings to add to my new herd in 2023. We now have top milk performance does having kids available. Put your Reservation or Wait List request in now to be notified when kids arrive!To be on a specific does kid Reservation list, a $200 per kid, non-refundable deposit needs to be made at the time you make your kid choices.New for 2024: AppleJo Farms will be offering Goat Transport for kids purchased by Homesteaders in Missouri and northern Arkansas.
