Valerie Parker

Valerie Parker breeds Nigerian dwarf goats in central Tennessee near Nashville. She has over a decade of experience, holds membership in the American Dairy Goat Association and participates in continuing education seminars with local extension services. Herd health is monitored with routine veterinary visits, health testing protocols and emergency protocols for kidding seasons.

Goats are raised on rotational grazing pastures with daily handling and gentle exposure to on-farm school tours and therapy visits. Breeding decisions emphasize sound structure, longevity and calm disposition for family or small-holding settings. Several does have earned placements and ribbons at county fairs, reflecting consistent quality across seasons.

Operating from a century-old barn on a wooded hillside, she integrates sustainable practices like rainwater collection and solar fencing. Homebuyers receive guidance on nutrition, breeding goals and seasonal care, plus access to an online community for peer support.
