SAANEN and toggenburg GOATS

Baris is home to a herd of beautiful Saanen and Toggenburg goats.  Both breeds originated in Switzerland.  The Saanen is the highest milk-producing breed and they are so well known that the picture of a dairy goat in your head is most likely a lovely white fawned Saanen nanny. The Toggenburg is a sturdy, medium-sized breed. The breed’s solid colour varies from light fawn to dark chocolate.

OUR HERD

We started out with 5 pregnant Saanen doelings and immediately fell in love. Over time our herd grew in size and breed. Our goats tasty milk is perfect for making cheese.  Besides for producing delicious milk, the goats are also very friendly, extremely loving and surprisingly intelligent.  The goats provide all on Baris with hours of fun and laughter.  We love and cherish each goat.

CARING FOR GOATS

We believe in holistic care for goats, aiming to understand and provide in their natural needs.  Our goats roam free on planted forage.  They enthusiastically respond to come to the parlor for milking time.  The ladies require a bit of grooming and a tender, loving hand.  Kidding season brings tons of excitement and hard work yearly.  Our kids demands lots of attention, and boy do they love it.  Guaranteed you will fall in love with this friendly bunch of fluffy kids in no time.
