Elizabeth Engelsman

Elizabeth Engelsman raises dairy cross goats in Michigan under the Cloven Croft Acres name, a program rooted in more than two decades of hands-on experience that began in 2000 with a single doe. Located in the western part of the state within reach of Grand Rapids, the farm originally operated as Critter Croft Acres before narrowing its focus entirely to goats and adopting its current name to reflect that shift.

The herd's foundation rests on carefully studied pedigrees, with Kaapio Acres genetics forming the core and additional bloodlines drawn from Fairland Farms and Caprine Acres to strengthen conformation and dairy character. Participation in the DHIA milk-recording program has been part of the operation since its early years, providing a data-driven check on production alongside structural evaluation. Those looking for dairy cross goats for sale in Michigan will find that the program places particular emphasis on mammary system quality and overall breed type.

Show results have validated that breeding focus over the years, with animals from the herd earning Grand Champion and Best in Show honors at ADGA-sanctioned events in both Michigan and Indiana. The farm's stated goal is fidelity to dairy breed standards across conformation, mammary attachment, and what the herd describes as all-around dairy character.
