Clare Staveley

Note: The website curbstonevalley.com appears to be located in Catlett, Virginia — not California as some older pages suggest. The INPUT confirms the location as VA, United States. The breed listed in the INPUT is "Dairy Crosses," but the website clearly focuses on Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. I'll use the verified site data and reflect the Nigerian dwarf dairy goat context, noting that the INPUT breed label of "Dairy Crosses" may be a loose categorization. I'll write based on verified facts only.

Clare Staveley raises registered Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats at Curbstone Valley Farm, a 30-acre working farm in Catlett, Virginia, in the heart of Northern Virginia's agricultural countryside roughly an hour from Washington, D.C.

The program's breeding emphasis centers on correct dairy type, strong milk production capacity, and placid temperaments. Herd genetics are grounded in Algedi Farm, Alethia Homestead, and Castle Rock lines, and production performance is evaluated through registry Dairy Herd Improvement programs, while structural correctness is assessed through Linear Appraisal. Curbstone Valley holds ADGA Plus Performance Herd status.

Animals are registered with the American Dairy Goat Association and the American Goat Society. Health protocols include annual CAE and CL testing, fecal PCR testing for Johne's disease through UC Davis, and mandatory quarantine for any new arrivals before they join the herd. All breeding-age animals are DNA-typed for parentage verification and alpha-S1 casein allele composition. For those seeking dairy crosses or Nigerian Dwarf goats in Virginia, this program's commitment to documented production records and rigorous disease testing sets a clear standard.
