Bellafire Farm is a small little "farmette" located on 1/2 acre in Yamhill County, Oregon. We are conveniently 45 minutes from Salem, Oregon and 1hr from Portland, Oregon. Our small little herd is raised right here inn our backyard. One on one attention everyday :) We pride ourselves on raising top quality ADGA registered dairy goats. We show in ADGA Goat shows & 4H shows and complete an official ADGA Linear Appraisal of our goats each year. In 2019 we will be participating in ADGA & DHI Milk Testing program, which officially tracks how much our girls milk and also the overall health & quality of that milk & of the doe herself.
About our goats and babies: Our goats are maintained with the utmost care and dedication to their well-being. Our adult goats (even our bucks) are gentle, affectionate, people-oriented animals. They are wonderful, loving "family members" first and foremost, and we strive to have them succeed as top quality show animals too. Our adult animals are tested free of CAE, CL, Johnes, Q-Fever & Brucellosis. We maintain a disease-free herd using strict bio-security measures which allows us to produce exceptionally healthy, happy animals.
* Testing of random herd majority Aug 2015, Fall 2016, Nov 2017, - CAE, CL, Q-Fever, Johnes, NEGATIVE *
Purchasing a goat: I offer discounts -see the Breeding Page and Sales Page for more info. It's VERY important to me that these well-bred animals go to loving homes where they can show their true potential! If you are interested in purchasing an animal; a $50 non-refundable deposit will hold a kid of your choice until it is ready (approx. 4-8 wks old). A $100 deposit will hold an adult until transportation is arranged (transportation must occur within 14 days). Please check out the current 2019 Breeding Schedule for upcoming 2019 kids.
* You can also view our updated Sales Contract, which must be filled out, signed, and returned before any goats leave for their new home.
Updated Sales Contract can be seen & printed here.
*~* Please review our "So You Want A Goat" page , our "Goat Basics" page, and our "New Goat Owners Pages" before putting in a reservation. These pages were designed to help potential buyers understand the basics of goat care. It is extremely important to me that buyers are making well thought out & educated decisions when purchasing one of our goaties :-). LOTS of love, attention, and care are required to raise a happy Bellafire Farm goat.
