What’s Brewing at Loki Farms

We’ve just finished solidifying our pairings of goats for breeding season, and we’re excited to share what we have planned for the 2026 kidding season! We’re aiming for kids in early to mid-January, and we’ll be bottle raising them to ensure the friendliest, easiest-to-handle goats possible. We did this for the first time this year, and their demeanor is just so much nicer than the previously dam raised. No matter how much handling we did with them. I just don't have time to be chasing wild goats around. It's so much less stressful when they're in your pocket looking to be loved on.

You can meet the does and bucks here — we’ve just updated their photos and added new info on each of them! They're all looking great going into this breeding season. Nice shiny coats, good weight.

Why January Kids?

We’ll be putting all the groups together on August 7th. Aiming for early January. We’ve found that earlier-season kids tend to be more robust and faster growing. It’s also cooler and drier that time of year — which means a much lower risk of coccidia and other parasites.

We aren’t doing ultrasounds or tests to confirm — we trust nature (and the bucks!) to do their job. So far, this approach has been reliable for us. Usually the does settle (become pregnant) on the first heat cycle, but we will keep the bucks in for about two months to make sure we go through what would be two heat cycles if they don't settle on the first. This has worked well for us in the past and we did have one settle on the second heat cycle last year.

What We're Breeding For

This year we’re focusing on increasing genetic diversity and refining traits we love in our herd — like Axel’s resilient robustness and Tail’s outstanding show, udder, and milking genetics. We're moving towards increasing our herd numbers and bettering genetics as we go. The hope is to create a herd of goats with resilient genetics that are healthy with minimal intervention, good attitudes, and good show potential and milk production. In that order.

Kids for Sale

We do plan to have kids available this coming 2026 season, including:

· All bucklings

· A few doelings (especially if we get twins — though we do plan to keep several)

We’re also trading one doeling for rabbits this year — yes, the farm is growing in all directions!

All kids will be pulled and bottle-raised, and available to go to new homes after the first week, once we’re sure they’re feeding well and thriving. All doelings will be registered. Bucklings will have the option to be registered or not. All will be tattooed. We plan to disbud any that come out horned unless we get a specific request to leave them. A non-refundable deposit is required for that as they are harder to sell with horns. Otherwise we don't do deposits.

If you’re interested in bringing a Loki Farms goat home in 2026, shoot us an email! We’ll be keeping a simple early interest list and will reach out as kids arrive and become available. Just let us know what you're looking for.

The Heart of Loki Farms

Strong, healthy goats are the foundation of everything we do — from the milk we drink to the soaps and skincare we make by hand. This season is about building our herd’s future, and we’re so excited to share it with you.

We’ll keep you updated throughout the fall and into kidding season with posts, photos, and of course — plenty of baby goat spam.

Milk season is planned to close sometime in October. This is to allow the does a needed break before kidding season. It should start back up in January if everything goes as planned.

Stay tuned!
