Tracy Sommer

Tracy Sommer raises dairy crosses and Nigerian dwarf goats at Minis 'N Friends in Merna, Nebraska, a small community in the heart of central Nebraska, roughly two hours west of Grand Island. The operation keeps a small, registered herd whose does have historically been milked seasonally, with the farm using that milk to make cheese and yogurt. The goats serve a dual role on the property, functioning both as registered animals and as natural weed control around the farm's buildings and corrals.

The herd has carried dual registration with the American Goat Society (AGS) and the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA), though the program has transitioned to AGS paperwork only for offspring. Minis 'N Friends also raises Babydoll Southdown sheep alongside the goats, with that flock registered through the Babydoll Southdown Registry Association (BSRA). Those looking for dairy crosses or registered goats in Nebraska will find this a small, hands-on farm program rather than a large commercial operation.

The flock and herd together act as natural mowers throughout the property, a practical arrangement that reflects the working character of the farm. Tracy notes that individual animal personalities are observed closely through daily contact, which informs how younger animals are socialized before they leave the farm.
