Melissa Yuenger

Great River Ranch is Melissa Yuenger's family farm in Bena, Minnesota, situated in the Leech Lake region of north-central Minnesota, roughly two hours north of Brainerd. The farm raises Nigerian dwarf and myotonic (fainting) goats, with milk from the herd used to produce handcrafted goat milk soaps and lotion bars. Great River Ranch holds memberships with the Myotonic Goat Registry (MGR), the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA), and the American Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Association (ANDDA). The herd is raised with a dual focus on milk production and temperament, making the goats suitable both as productive dairy animals and as farm pets.

Those looking for dairy cross goats in Minnesota will find that Great River Ranch's Nigerian dwarfs and myotonics reflect a small-farm approach, where hands-on care includes hand milking the does. The combination of two breeds allows the program to serve buyers interested in both the compact dairy output of Nigerian dwarfs and the calm, easy-keeping nature of fainting goats.
