Zachary Richmond

Zachary Richmond, Nigerian dwarf goat breeder in Texas, operates in the Texas hill country near Austin.

Richmond has raised Nigerian dwarf goats for over a decade, following recommended health screenings and national registry standards to support sound breeding. The herd is maintained in pasture-based paddocks with sturdy shelters, and newborn kids receive daily handling to promote gentle, confident temperaments. Richmond places emphasis on proper nutrition, rotating forage and balanced feeds as goats reach maturity, and he closely monitors hoof health and vaccinations to maintain overall wellbeing.

Each doe is selected from bloodlines known for consistent milk production and calm dispositions, and offspring regularly earn ribbons at regional dairy goat shows. Visitors to the farm appreciate the quiet, family-oriented atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about sustainable small-scale dairy operations. Richmond hosts educational visits for local youth programs, sharing insights into rotational grazing and sustainable land management.
