Japheth Martin

Japheth Martin raises dairy crosses at Thistlemoor in New Paris, Indiana, a small community in the northern part of the state near Goshen and the broader Elkhart County area. The operation is rooted in a hands-on farming background — Japheth grew up on a cow dairy farm in Indiana, and the herd got its start in September 2014 with Nigerian Dwarf goats before expanding to include Nubians. The program emphasizes performance, conformation, and pedigree, with participation in Linear Appraisal on a yearly basis. Natural and holistic care methods guide day-to-day management of the herd whenever practical and safe to do so. Thistlemoor is also a member of the American Goat Society.
