Welcome!

Sugarplum Dairy was established in Floresville, Texas with an initial herd of Spanish does and one Nubian doe. A friend of ours once told us that if you think you know something (or everything) get some goats and you’ll have a whole new road of learning ahead. He was right! We realized that goats will quickly grow on you, and can quickly drive you nuts. We also realized we had been missing out on some good entertainment at watching the kids romp and stomp around the hills and dales.

A bit about our goats…

Our goat kids are dam-raised and kept with the herd in order to best instill a “goat mentality.” We do like friendly goats, but goats raised by people on a bottle sometimes do not know how to be goats. It is possible to dam-raise tame goats!

We leave the horns…

Did you know that the horns help to act as shock-absorbers during head butting? It is also thought that the horns help the goat to keep cool in hot climates by circulating blood through them, much like an elephant’s ears.

We are members of…

American Dairy Goat Association (herd name Sugarplum), the Alpines International Club and the South Central Texas Goat Club. We oppose any government funded or managed National Animal Identification System (NAIS).
