Saanen dairy goats are renowned for their exceptional milk production, calm temperament, and elegant, pure-white appearance. Originating in Switzerland, they are the largest of the dairy breeds and are known for their steady, dependable lactations and strong, well-attached mammary systems. Gentle, intelligent, and easy to handle, Saanens are ideal for both commercial dairies and family homesteads. Their hardiness and adaptability make them a favorite worldwide, and their striking presence continues to excel in show rings across the country.

Contessa as a two year old first freshener
Contessa is a powerful doe, being both wide and deep bodied. She has a smooth front end and a wide, level rump. Contessa exudes Dairy Strength. She is a power milker with the solid structure to support her high production. Contessa is a sweet and easy doe. I can call her to come milk, and she goes straight to her milk stand without me even touching her collar. When I’m done milking her, I tap her shoulder and tell her “you’re done” and she goes to the gate and waits for me to come open it. What a girl! If you want a goat who is easy to handle and milks a ton, Contessa is your girl!
Contessa has given us 5 daughters so far, all from Kickadee Hill Uncle Albert. Caroline, who is owned by Emily Puentes in Florida, finished her Permanent Championship this past year.
