Bellafire Farm is a small little farm now located on 7 acres in NW Oregon. We pride ourselves on raising top quality ADGA registered dairy goats. We show in ADGA shows during the summer show season and participate in ADGA Linear Appraisal and DHIA Milk Testing of our goats each year.
About our goats and babies: All of our mature animals, both bucks & doe's, are all DNA tested with ADGA. 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 loving "family members" first & foremost, and we work hard to see 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 very strict bio-security measures which allows us to produce exceptionally healthy, happy animals. We do NOT allow farm visits due to our bio-security protocols, except for buyers specifically picking up their purchased animals.
* Negative Disease Testing of majority herd: 2013, Summer 2015, Fall 2016, Fall 2017, Spring 2019 Negative CAE, CL, Q-Fever, Johnes. Early 2021 entire herd tested Negative CAE, CL, Johnes. Negative CAE/CL/Johnes Herd testing Jan 2023.
Purchasing a goat: See the Breeding Schedule 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! * Please review our "So You Want A Goat" page , our "Goat Basics" page 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. Feel free to email if you have any questions: bellafirefarmgoats@hotmail.com In an effort to keep our herd as healthy as possible, we maintain very strict biosecurity here and do no allow visitors in/around the goats.

2021 - A late start to the year and show season BUT so far it's been worth the wait! We were blessed to be able to get our herd appraised this year! We had a GREAT TIME and got some AMAZING scores and feedback!
(6th F) GCH (pending) Bellafire BP Flower Girl EEEE 91 (Her dam is GCH Sweet Alyssum who is also VEEE 91)
(3rd F) Bellafire MM Garden Party VEEE 90 (this is GCH Flower's daughter, so a consistent long line of very high appraising doe's!)
(1st F) Bellafire LTB Midsummer Night VVEV 89
(2nd F) Bellafire 8SR Jenga VEEE 90
(2nd F) Bellafire EN Wine N Roses VVVV 88 (another young daughter of GCH Flower Girl, Granddaughter of GCH Sweet Alyssum)
(1st F) Bellafire EN Surprise Party V+VV 88 (stunning 1st freshening doe from Encore & Garden Party. Garden is daughter to GCH Flower)
- "Barn in the USA" Washington Show, our first show of 2021!- All the girls did WONDERFUL placing in the upper half of HUGE competitive classes! Attending was Jenga, MidSummer Night, Wine N Roses, Garden Party, Surprise Party, and Flower Girl - Flower Girl WON her final GCH win in her 1st ring! This finishes her as a 2nd generation, GCH Bellafire Farm doe and she and her GCH mother both scored 91 on their LA as well!! Whoo-hoo! I am VERY excited to see Flower daughter Garden and granddaughter Surprise follow in these GCH footsteps!
- Jackson Co/Leilia Berry show - All the girls placed in the top half of their classes under all 3 judges. Bellafire EN Surprise Party was RGCH under judge Rebecca Nix. The GCH doe in that ring is a finished CH already, so I'm hopeful that this will be a full restricted leg for Surprise Party making it her 1st CH Leg as a 1st Freshening 2yr old! Surprise Party is daughter to Garden Party (Garden is daughter to GCH Flower Girl, and granddaughter to GCH Sweet Alyssum, so a LONG line of GCH is in the making!). Speaking of...Bellafire MM Garden Party won GCH & BOB under Kristopher Farley. This is her 1st year in the show ring and her 1st GCH win.
- Union County ADGA Show - Flower won GCH and Jenga won Best Udder & Reserve GCH under Mark Baden. Garden Party won GCH & BOB/BU under Jennifer Tereba, this will be Gardens 2nd ADGA leg, just 1 more win & she will be a 3rd generation Bellafire Farm finished GCH doe! (Gardens mother Flower was RGCH I believe)

2020 Update - Well 2020 was a bit of a loss due to the Covid19 pandemic. We did not have any shows in our area at all and we did not have the herd on milk test. We DID however buy a wonderful new property with acreage for the herd to roam and graze!
