Osment Dairy Goat Farm is situated 10 km north of Cambridge. we have a commercial indoor dairy goat herd and aim to breed the highest quality milking goats. While the main herd is comprised mainly of Saanens our Anglo-Nubians are also run in the herd and hold their own as a commercial viable dairy goat. We breed the Anglo-Nubians for show quality as well as good quality milkers. Our Anglo-Nubians have won many championships, annual awards and they have also won the Royal Show Supreme Champion Medals at all three royal Shows we have attended in New Zealand..

2012 is our 15th year of breeding. We have around 350 Saanen does and 80 Anglo-Nubians. Saanens mature fast and produce good volumes, while the Anglo-Nubians are a little slower maturing, volume is on average a bit less than high volume Saanens but milk solids are higher due the higher Butterfat content.

Our milk is collected by the New Zealand Dairy Goat Co-operative nearby in Hamilton and is manufactured into Infant formula and exported around the world. Goats milk is particularly good for lactose intolerant people and is an excellent alternative to cows milk or mothers milk for babies.

As well as our focus on producing milk for the factory, we have a special interest in making the the Anglo-Nubian breed a viable commerical dairy goat. To help achieve this in Early in 2007 we imported a shipment of Anglo-Nubian does and bucks from Australia that we went and selected. This, we hope will benefit not only our own herd but other A.N herds in NZ.

Our Anglo-Nubians and Saanens have been exported to various parts of the world
We are able to supply Semen and Embryos as well as livestock for export to different countries. Please visit our export page for more information.

 Our Kidding season is in June-September. If you wish to purchase kids this season please contact us now. Kids ordered and collected at a young age are being offered at a far les price.



 

 

 

 

 

 




 

 

 

 

 

 


A bit about us....

The Farm is also home to a few cattle, two thoroughbreds, a welsh pony and three miniature horses and a Kunekune pig named Oliver Sausage.
Free Ranging out in the paddock there are many feathered friends including a white Turkey, Araucana hens and Polish, Pekin and Silkie Bantams.
Four Dogs and five Cats also call our place home.......surprisingly the whole menagerie get along quite well!
But the goats are the main focus here as they are the only animals that really earn their keep!

We have the occasional group of pre-school or school children come for a visit and also tourist groups. Please look at further information about visits and farm stays.

Kidding time from late June through until September is a very interesting time on the farm and a good time for learning. If you are interested to come and see what its all about then contact us, we sometimes have room for extras to stay.
