Welcome to D Bar J Acres!
We love our animals dearly and hope you will too.
We are located in Loyal, Wisconsin in the central part of the state.
We have a 7 acre farm and would love to have you visit and meet all the animals.

Our main goal here at D Bar J Acres is to produce quality AGS/ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats.  Nigerians are the smallest of the dairy breeds and come in just about any color imaginable with brown or blue eyes and some are naturally polled (hornless, the rest are disbudded at birth).  We are concentrating on lines known for producing milk with great udder texture and quality, as well as correct conformation.  Nigerians make a superb hobby farm dairy goat for the small family.  Their milk has excellent taste and good milker can average 2 quarts a day at peak, with some giving more and some less.  We have turned our small herd into a healthy, friendly, correctly conformed group that is nice to look at and great little milkers. They have a very curious and friendly disposition and are very fun little goats!
 
I'm undecided about joining the ranks of breeders in the showring yet, as I didn't work this hard for a clean disease free herd to pick some unwanted disease up at a show.  We have decided to use ADGA's Linear Appraisal program where a certified appraiser scores each animal with 100 being ideal.  We had our first ADGA Linear Appraisal in July 2009.  We learned a lot at our appraisal and have decided to try and participate each year to evaluate our herd.  Our scores are posted by each animal that was scored.
 
You can read more about goat care and our herd's health (including testing) and general information on the "Goat Care" page.
 
We no longer raise donkeys and we only have our three Mammoth Jackstock riding geldings for our own personal trail riding use and their daily donkey antics to amuse us.  You can meet "the Boys" on the Pictures page.  We can possibly help you find your dream donkey as we do have a number of contacts yet.

D Bar J Acres also has a few feathered friends that free-range in our pastures.   Bantam Buff Brahmas, which are a feather legged bantam chicken breed (the largest of the bantams) are hardy, naturally broody and friendly chickens.  We also have Americanas (Easter Eggers) which have poofy cheeks, small pea combs and lay blue/green eggs!  Our poultry all brood naturally, so we will only have chicks available when ever one decides to be a doting mother! If interested in chicks, let us know, we usually have a few youngsters available.
