Owlhaven's mission is to produce the "cream of the crop" in Nigerian dairy goats.

Operating since 2010 and on our fourth generation of exceptional Nigerians.  

​Owlhaven ensures quality through participation in the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) Performance Programs, which evaluates milk production and conformation (structural correctness).  For fun, we've done limited showing annually since 2021.

Winning in the show ring!
Owlhaven's small show string consistently places in the top against tough competition that includes herds that are successful at the national-level herd. Our herd is small but mighty!

Productive Milkers
Despite on-farm milk testing being limited by work schedule (IRL I'm a teacher), three Owlhaven-bred does have earned the Elite Doe title in 2017 through 2020 (testing was heavily impacted during COVID). Another three does are Advanced Registry Milkers, and five are Star Milkers. Not bad for such a small herd! 

Structurally Correct
Owlhaven participates in the American Dairy Goat Association's (ADGA) evaluation program, Linear Appraisal. Young does are expected to score in the Very Good range of 85-89. Mature does are expected to receive final scores in the excellent range of 90+ to remain in the breeding program. Our goats consistently meet expectations.

DNA Tested
All Owlhaven bucks, as well as does that are two-years-old or older, have been DNA tested to ensure the integrity of their pedigrees

Health Tested
All breeding stock are tested annually for four major diseases: CAE, CL, Johnes, and Q-Fever. Our results have always been negative.​

Professional Management
Owlhaven is Langston University Certificated as a Quality Dairy Producer, after completing a rigorous course of study. In addition, I've attended ADGA Judge's Training Conferences, Type Conferences, and Linear Appraisals to hone my knowledge of conformation.  ​
