Sherwin Ferguson

Mountain Lodge Farm, run by Sherwin Ferguson, raises dairy crosses in Eatonville, Washington, about 35 miles southeast of Tacoma in the foothills of Mount Rainier. The farm focuses on two foundational breeds — La Manchas and Nigerian dwarfs — along with a cross between the two that the farm calls Lagerians, combining the La Mancha's silky, delicate milk with the Nigerian dwarf's rich butterfat and protein content.

When selecting animals for the herd, the farm prioritized hardiness, ease of kidding, good milking parlor manners, and the kind of social temperament that makes daily animal care enjoyable. Kids are raised on their dams for the first week before transitioning to bottle-raising in same-age groups, a method the farm has found encourages both goat-to-goat socialization and comfort around humans. Preventative health management includes a coccidia protocol and CDT vaccination at eight and twelve weeks.

Dairy cross goat kids in Washington from this working farmstead operation are made available seasonally, with buyers also receiving husbandry guidance, including hoof trimming training and foundational mineral and feed recommendations.
