Gun Plain Pygoras

Gun Plain Pygoras raises Pygora goats in Plainwell, MI, west Michigan near Kalamazoo. Nanette Nichols has focused on Pygora bloodlines for over a decade and participates in the Pygora Goat Breeders Association while following recommended health screening protocols. All goats have daily pasture time, gentle handling from kid stage, and secure shelter with fresh bedding.

The kids produce a soft, crimpy fleece sought by local fiber artisans for spinning and weaving. Seasonal shearing takes place in a calm barn setting, and each fleece is skirted by hand to highlight its luster. Visitors mention the farm’s peaceful rhythm and note that goats respond readily to soft voices and slow movements. Appointments allow prospective keepers and fiber enthusiasts to observe husbandry practices and learn fleece preparation techniques. The farm began on rolling pastures originally purchased as a hobby project and has grown into a respected source of quality fleece over the years.
