Chenango Hills Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats

David Funk and Karen Canfield, owners of Chenango-Hills Dairy Goats, have turned their attention exclusively to the breeding of top-flight Nigerian Dwarf animals.  David and Karen live west of Albany, where they raise and care for their Nigerian Dwarf herd.

 David's experience as a judge helped them to find exactly the genetic material they wanted, and select just the right bloodlines to establish their small but highly select herd.
