Farm Tours

We do farm tours on appointment only. Call 513-465-3259 or email us at info@nigeriandwarfgoats.net. Tours are available Monday through Saturday.
The tour lasts about an hour. This tour is geared to people that have no farming or homesteading experience. We explain the process of raising our kids, milking the does, feeding, breeding etc.
There are two types of tours available.

Tour 1 Baby goat experience

Tour the farm and feed a baby goat. We help you to learn how to hold the baby goat and how to feed them. Great for small kids. This tour can be done during the morning and afternoon. We have baby goats year long.
Weather permitting, there can be short goat show where a few of the goats do tricks such as shake, dance on their hind legs, bow and run a short obstacle course. If weather permitted, one can get a donkey ride on "Rocky" our donkey (weight restrictions may apply).

Tour 2 Milking experience

The second option is to tour the farm and watch the milking and feeding process. Milking takes about 30 minutes and feeding takes 30 minutes.  Arriving time is 6:00 p.m.
You will be able to come up close to the milking so that you can see the milk flowing through the milk hose.
Tour the grade A milk house.

Tour Fees

$10.- per person. No charge for children under 2.

Note: if anyone is afraid of dogs, we will be more than willing to keep our dogs out of sight and sound to ensure you have an enjoyable time. A notice in advance would be welcome.
We ask that you refrain from foul language including omg words while you are on the farm premises. Thank you in advance.

Goat Husbandry Classes

Learning to milk by hand

For a brand new future goat owner, owning goats can look challenging. Especially if the only animal experience you have is a dog or a cat. We offer for $75- per person a class on goat husbandry with hands on sessions. The length of the class is about 3-4 hours.
The following topics are contained in the class:

Watch a live birth of kids

To watch a live birth, you have to be willing to spend a couple of hours on the farm. You will be able to sit next or close to the doe in labor. We charge $200.- If the event is during breakfast/ lunch or dinner hour, you are to provide for your own food.
Note, since it is a live birth, it might not be for little children to watch since tragedy does happen so now and then. Parents have to make the decision regarding their children watching live birth. Also, during birthing, it must be very quiet which means no loud noises, no running around etc.
