Greenbriar Farm

Greenbriar Farm, mini alpine and Nigerian dwarf goats, West Olive, MI, Ottawa County and the lakeshore near Grand Rapids. Elaine Mcdonald has embraced responsible breeding practices over several years and follows industry-recommended health screenings for congenital conditions, hoof health, and parasite management to support genetic soundness.

Its goats are raised on managed pasture rotation with daily handling and social time, fostering calm, sociable animals with healthy coats and strong muscle tone. Rotational grazing promotes pasture health and offers varied forage through the seasons. Each kidding season takes place in a clean, well-ventilated barn with focused nutrition and routine health monitoring for does and kids.

The farm balances small-scale stewardship with detailed recordkeeping to track lineage and health milestones. Kids come with documentation of parentage and a basic health exam. Many local families appreciate the goats’ friendly nature and even temperaments.
