Willoughby Croft Dairy Goats

Willoughby Croft Dairy Goats We are a performance herd in SW WA committed to raising high quality Mini Nubian, Guernsey, & Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats for show & milk. Life is good.

Our main focus is on Udders/milk. We participate in 305-day milk testing, linear appraisals, and local shows. This adventure began back in 1997 when I was living in Spanaway, WA, on 1.5 acres. At that time I had a dozen hens, 6 sheep and an angora goat. I spent my days raising children, caring for my critters, and spinning wool into yarn. My husband decided to turn our garage into a fiber studio t

o give me a place to store my many wheels and newly acquired floor looms. It is at this time that my life made a bit of a detour. Somehow that fiber studio became a yarn shop. Which was soon outgrown and the shop moved to 4631 Pacific Ave.in Tacoma, WA. I was the proprietress of Lamb's Ear Yarn for 12 years. And 12 years in retail is plenty long enough. In 2011, at the age of 52, I was able to retire and return to the farming lifestyle that I love. My life has come full circle. In 2014 I moved to Winlock, WA. I now live in a 1904 converted schoolhouse on over an acre. Willoughby Croft was born. I raise Registered Dairy Goats.

And here is our last addition for the year, our second Guernsey girl, FLYINGCOLORS ROBIN. Robin is an American Guernsey registered with ADGA. She'll be bred to our buck, Beau for Spring kids and she'll be on 305-day milk test for 2026. I'm so excited to get started with Guernsey goats!

I finally found my second Guernsey doe. 👏🏼 I have been reaching out to breeders and looking high and low.... since June. She had to be ADGA registered (or registerable), she had to have decent udders behind her, and she had to be ready to be bred this season. She'll be arriving later today. She and Allegra will be going into a breeding pen with Beau. I can't wait for some golden babies in the spring. 😍

Another exciting breeding!

Due 2-20-26
MOON SPOTS possible!

Mysti is on track to earn her star in Butterfat/Protein this year. She is very petite for a Nubian, but she has a gorgeous, well-attached udder with plumb teats and is a perfect foundation doe for Mini Nubians. As a 2nd freshener, Mysti consistently milks over 4 lbs. and peaked at 5.2 lbs. She has a sweet personality and is easy to milk. She will be on test again in 2026. Romeo is a phenomenal buck with exceptional udders behind him. His dam earned her milk star as a first freshener! His dam also won Reserve Champion, Best Udder In Breed, and best Udder In Show in the Fall 2024 V-Show. These kids have fabulous udders behind them. Romeo should improve milk production, rear udders, and fore udders. We are very excited for the kids from this breeding. RESERVATIONS ARE OPEN. https://www.willoughbycroft.com/goat-info/2026-kidding-schedule

This happened last night.
JOHNSON FF DR BETTY
~Bred by~
HANSON HIDEAWAY JF BIG HUNK *B
For Nigerian Dwarf kids.

Kids will be due Feb. 13, 2026.
All of our breedings focus on MILK & UDDERS. We are breeding our Nigerians for heavy milk production, ease of milking, and friendly personalities. I'm very excited for this breeding. Betty has the nicest teats/orifices of my Nigerians. She is a joy to hand milk. Betty's dam peaked at 6.2 lbs. of milk per day. Hunk's pedigree is amazing. His dam has 2 champion legs and peaked at 5.4 lbs. of milk per day. Betty will be a 2nd freshener and will be on milk test in 2026.

We have 2 doeling reservations open for this breeding.

Heats are starting back up. These 2 didn't get the job done last time around. He's young and catching on slowly. She was back in raging heat, and they spent the night in the no-tell motel. Fingers crossed he did the deed. She's being very patient with him, even switching roles and demonstrating how it's done. 🤣

We have a really nice Nigerian buck up for discussion.

WLOBY Croft SE Sonic Boom *B (pending)
Born 3-21-25
Black with beautiful blue eyes.
His extended pedigree is full of milk stars and high LA scores.
He's a quiet guy. Long and level. His dam has a gorgeous udder as does his sire's dam. He's been in my keeper pen, but I can't justify keeping 3 Nigerian bucks. That's the only reason this guy is UFD. Registered or unregistered. Your choice.

Located in Winlock, WA.

I need to downsize a wee bit more. From my "keeper pen", this doeling has an impressive pedigree and lots of milk behind her. Friendly and cooperative. Ready to go.

Who are we and what are we about?

We are Willoughby Croft, a mini farm just outside of historic Winlock, WA. Established in 2014, we are focused on raising high quality, registered Mini Nubian, Guernsey, and Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, with an emphasis on show and milk. We are dedicated to breeding dairy goats who have capacious, easy-to-milk, well attached udders, correct conformation, and who are also hardy, friendly, easy keepers. Size matters! Our goats are all of a size that is easy-to-handle, even for youngsters. Smaller size means less feed consumption, too, which means less cost to raise. We participate in 305-day milk testing, linear appraisals, and live and virtual shows.

Our main focus is on udders and milk production because these are, first and foremost, DAIRY goats!

Our Story

This adventure began back in 1997 when I was living in Spanaway, WA, on 1.5 acres. At that time I had a dozen hens, 6 sheep and an angora goat. I spent my days chasing kids, caring for my critters, and spinning wool into yarn. My husband decided to turn our garage into a fiber studio to give me a place to store my many wheels and newly acquired floor looms. It is at this time that my life made a bit of a detour. Somehow that fiber studio became a yarn shop. Which was soon outgrown and the shop moved to 4631 Pacific Ave.in Tacoma, WA. I was the proprietress of Lamb's Ear Yarn for 12 years. And 12 years in retail is plenty long enough. In 2011, at the age of 52, I was able to retire and return to the lifestyle that I love. My life has come full circle. In 2014 I moved to Winlock, WA. I now live in a 1904 converted schoolhouse on one acre. Willoughby Croft was born. I raise high quality registered Mini Nubian Dairy Goats, Crested Cream Legbar and American Bresse Gauloise Chickens. Life is good.
