Fiddler’s Ridge is
located in Union Grove, a small community, thirty miles South of Milwaukee.
We raise Purebred Nubians, French and American Alpines. Our animals
are tested yearly
for CAE and CL. Wisconsin is a TB and Brucelosis free state so we no longer
test for those. While goats started out as a 4H project it
has worked up to showing in open most of the time. Our animals live in an
old dairy barn during the harsh winters but during the rest of the year they
are kept on pasture.Calvin is the driving force on our Alpine herd. The Alpine bloodlines are
a mix of Vance’s and Kickapoo Valley Dairy Goats. He added a buck from
Pleasant Grove this year to improve udders.
The Nubians are Celeste’s specialty. We started with some from Chi-Oak
Nubians and have added quite a few Six-M Galaxy and Goldthwate lines from Charlotte Luthy.
Jacob's Pride Star Dancer is residing at our farm and we are so pleased to
have him. He had been bred to several Six-M Galaxy does and will have
offspring for sale this spring.
Our dairy goats are not just show goats; they are linear
appraised, and are on DHIR year round. The
milk is used for home use, cheese and homemade soaps. With the constant
handling they are very affectionate and have distinct personalities. We hope
you enjoy touring our website. Have any questions? Just drop us a .
