Goat Products

One of our Mini Nubians, Echo Hills Elizabeth Swan, aka Lizzy

 We believe that, like use for humans, that our animal friends should likewise have natural products used on and inside their little bodies.  Some of the recipes here will linked directly to outside sources.

At a later date, we will discuss our own recipes.

We raise dairy goats, so this part of our page will be devoted to dairy goats.





One of our Nigerian Dwarf girls



 Our miniature dairy goats are a very large part of our health. food source and that of others as well.  We also love them. They are part of our family.  As such. we try to take good care of them.  Thus, the use of natural recipes using natural products like oils, essential oils, vinegar, etc. are things we are exploring.

For example. when we milk our does. we like to have shaved udders, and wash the udders before milking.  If one our little girls has a rash or dry skin, we like to use natural products to overcome those problems.  We want them to be healthy and happy.
