Welcome to Southern Grace Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats

2022 has been a very blessed year so far!

We finished our first homebred finished Champion GCH Southern Grace Sugar N Spice 2*M in May - what a special doe she is!! She finished with a bang - not only did she win Grand Champion Senior Doe in the first ring to pick up her last leg - she also won Best in Show!
25 of our does earned their milk stars this year so far! (as of September 2022)
We had an outstanding Linear Appraisal session (our first ever)!
Some of you know that we had been scheduled for a May 15th appraisal, but unfortunately our amazing appraiser had to postpone just days before due to a family emergency. I am SO very proud of my very dairy does that continued to put milk in the pail even after a straight month of 100+ degree temperatures. I also have to give a HUGE shoutout to the best 10 year old I know, and my best buddy for helping me milk everyday and clip and prepare our does (twice). Logan, you are the BEST buddy!

Now for our highlights - our foundation does really shined!! Thank you to our 3 favorite mentors and friends - Jan at Buffalo Clover, Jill at Sinai Thunder and Rusty at Little Tots Estate - for breeding these outstanding does, and trusting them in our care.

Anna and Logan continued their winning streak and won Grand Champion Sr Doe in ring 1 (and was honorable mention for BIS), and won Reserve Champion in ring 2 and ring 3! Anna only needs one more leg to be a finished Champion!
  
  In the Junior show in ring 1 Logan and Southern Grace Autumn Snow added another Reserve Champion to her resume (that makes 3!). In ring 2 Logan and Southern Grace Little Teacup won Grand Champion winning her Jr leg! He also made the Grand Champion lineup in ring 3 again with Autumn.
We had such a great weekend at the Milk N Honey Pot!! Thank you to Michelle and Mike Cordova for being such wonderful hosts - we can't wait to come back!! Our girls blessed us big, and we couldn't be more proud of them and Logan! Almost every goat we brought made the Grand Champion lineup at one point all weekend!

Grand Champion Senior Doe and Best of Breed under Scott Horner was Southern Grace Sugar N Spice 1*M as a 2nd freshener! I love this VERY dairy doe sooo much!!

Logan and Little Tots Estate JoAnna made the Grand Champion lineup in the youth and open and came home with another Youth Reserve Champion! Little Tots Estate PumkinSpice (Sugar's dam) also made the Grand Champion lineup (in the open)!

Logan brought 2 junior does and he made the Grand Champion lineup with them both!

Southern Grace Autumn Snow made the Grand Champion Jr Doe lineup in all three rings (1 youth ring, 2 open rings) he showed her in and came home with TWO Reserve Champions!!

Southern Grace Honey Bunny also made the Grand Champion Jr lineup. Oh and Logan and Anna won youth junior showmanship too!

At Southern Grace we strive to raise quality ADGA goats that are very competitive in the show ring and in milk production. We are blessed to have a clean herd that consists of outstanding milking lines that also excel in the show ring. We are so very thankful and blessed to have such outstanding mentors and GREAT friends like Jan Nelson (Buffalo Clover), Jill Maple (Sinai Thunder) and Rusty Repp (Little Tots Estate)! These wonderful people have blessed us and our herd so much. Our precious goats are family raised and a big part of our way of life on our little ranch.

We are located in beautiful Lone Grove, OK which is between Oklahoma City and Dallas just off of I35.

Herd tested NEGATIVE for CAE February 8th, 2021.
