Emerald C Ranch

Emerald C Ranch raises Nigerian dwarf goats in Gainesville, Texas, situated on 44 acres in the Eastern Cross Timbers region, roughly an hour north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Summer and Brian Cataldo run the operation with a clear dual focus on milk production and the show ring, maintaining ADGA-registered stock throughout the herd.

The program places a strong emphasis on linear appraisal, DHI milk testing, and DNA testing, with buyer preference given to farms that participate in ADGA Plus, ADGA-sanctioned shows, and those same evaluation programs. Several does in the herd carry champion and grand champion titles, and the ranch has bred its own finished SGCH and GCH animals under the Emerald C Ranch herd name, including does scoring into the high 80s and low 90s on linear appraisal.

Those looking for Nigerian dwarf goats for sale in Texas from a show and dairy-focused program will find a herd shaped by documented milk records and formal conformation scoring. The ranch operates as a closed herd, meaning no new animals enter and no retained goats leave the property, a practice that reflects the biosecurity standards the Cataldos maintain for their breeding stock.
