Kamalaya Farm

07/10/2025

This week we said goodbye to our beautiful young buck Malachite as he headed off to his new home with Taronga Zoo. We’ve worked with their team to introduce a smaller-stature buck with impressive, proven genetics—helping bring heights down while lifting quality for future kids.

We’re incredibly proud that a Kamalaya Farm buck was chosen for this role, and even more proud of the love and care Malachite will receive. He’s a gentle soul who’s given us so much already; he’ll be dearly missed here and very spoilt in his new chapter.

Thank you, Malachite—you’ve done us proud.

We’re looking to reduce our numbers here at Kamalaya Farm, which means a unique opportunity has opened up for anyone interested in adding quality Nigerian Dwarf goats to their herd.

Whether you're looking for:
✅ Young milkers
✅ Friendly pets
✅ Or your next show prospect
—we have a small selection of beautiful goats bred from premium USA genetics..

These girls have been raised with care, and come from high-performing, structurally correct lines with strong udders, excellent temperament, and outstanding conformation. Perfect for beginners or established breeders.

🧡 We’re also happy to mentor newcomers to ensure a confident and supported start with these wonderful little goats.

If you’re local to the Northern Rivers/North Coast NSW and have been thinking about getting started (or expanding with top-tier stock), feel free to message us for details and pricing.

Lets Talk: Breeding Reality Check
If you’ve bred goats for long enough — and you’re checking your kids properly — sooner or later, you’ll encounter a defect. That’s just part of breeding livestock.

I had a humbling reminder of this myself not so long ago when I sold a lovely young doe and later discovered she had a sprig teat I’d missed. I did the right thing and replaced her, but the buyer no longer wanted anything from that line. That experience is what prompted this post.

The truth is: no line is perfect, and if you cull entire bloodlines every time a minor defect appears, you’ll end up throwing away years of progress. A one-off issue doesn’t make a line worthless — it just reminds us to stay vigilant and honest in how we breed and sell.

Good breeders don't ignore problems - but they also know how to put things in perspective. A one-off issue in an otherwise strong, consistent line doesn't mean the sky is falling. It means we take notes, monitor and breed forward with care. So the honest discussion is: Have you dealt with defects in your herd?
What's your approach to managing them? and how do you decide what's acceptable risk in your breeding goals? I'm keen to hear what others think and how they manage defects :-)

We are fortunate enough to be traveling in Greece 😀 I’m doing some research with goats here… they are not breeding for dairy strength but I love them all the same. Oleanders are in abundance and these goats use these shrubs as shade trees. I wonder how they know not to eat them…
