About Us

My name is Amanda, i’ve always had a passion for animals, and in 2019 I finally took the plunge to start my own handmade goat soap business. Searching for the ideal goats for this new business venture, I stumbled upon the Nigerian Dwarf and fell in love.

I soon discovered that Nigerian Dwarf’s were not very common in Australia, at least not as purebreds. I was lucky to find First Fleet Nigerian Dwarfs, and now have a few select 100% purebred US genetic Nigerian Dwarfs. I’ll be actively focusing on high butterfat, stunning udders and lovely conformation in all our goats. I’m super excited to see our first lot of kids this year. We are located in Toolangi, Victoria. (About 20 mins from Yarra Glen)

Our goats are registered with The Dairy Goat Society of Australia, our herd is also CAE and Johne’s Disease test negative.

Nigerian Dwarf’s are prized for their amazing milk quality, high in butterfat and protein which is ideal for making cheese, and soap. The amount of protein and butterfat in the milk will determine cheese yield and quality, and i’m personally finding with soap the higher the butterfat the higher the vitamin content in our soap which naturally feeds your skin (If you would like to check out our soap range feel free to visit us at Suave Soaps). They are also super smart and have a sweet cheeky personality, and are very small in stature.

Average butterfat content for dairy goat breeds: Alpine 3.5%, LaMancha 3.9%, Nubian 4.8%, Saanen 3.4%, Toggenburg 3.2%, Sable 3.4% and the Nigerian Dwarf as 6-10% (however I have seen testing at above 10%, our Lotte been previously tested at 10.01% and Phryne’s sire’s dam was also tested at 10.19%) I was unable to find any info in regards to butterfat content for the Australian Brown or the Australian Melaan.
