Short Stack Nigerian Sales Policy

We strive to breed healthy and well bred (pedigree) goats that are a good representation for their breeds. No goat will be sold as "show quality.” Every goat has conformational strengths and weaknesses. Show ring success is strongly influenced by how the goat is managed and how the goat is shown to it's best advantage. Obviously, a breeder has no control over those factors.
