It is so gratifying to find youth exhibitors that have the right kind of support at home that will enable them to excel in the show ring. Our dairy goat youth exhibitors are the future of our industry and I am very hopeful that we are now in the midst of a revitalization of youth programs and show opportunities.
We maintain a CAE free herd and test on a yearly basis. We feed all kids pasteurized milk to prevent milk-borne diseases such as Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. All of our adult animals have been tested for G6S and the entire herd tested normal. Since we basically run a closed herd and we have never had a problem with abscesses, we do not routinely test for CL. ALL FOUNDATION DOES AND CURRENTLY USED BUCKS HAVE BEEN TESTED G6S NORMAL. BREAKING NEWS: 2018 CAE Results are Back: Whole Herd Tested CAE Negative!
We are sold out of does and doelings for 2019. I will post breedings for 2020 in early December 2019 and will begin accepting reservations for kids at that time.

As we are getting older we find ourselves not able to make as many shows as we would like. We still make a few in Texas and Oklahoma. Now we get as much enjoyment from seeing our customers excel in the showring with our Chigger-Hill animals. 2016 - 2017 were good years for a few of our customers.

Breeder Credits
Obviously we have had a lot of help over the years. Our original doelings came from Barbie and Walter Page-Sutter at the OK Corral herd. Jim Gillham of 4-Ever-R's Nubians provided outside breeding for our does before we bred Chigger-Hill Goliath and Chigger-Hill Hercules. Jim and Kathy are still great friends and we just bought another young buckling from them! Megan and Aaron Carter of Lakeshore Nubians and Lynn Fleming of Lynnhaven Nubians have provided valuable outside herd sires that have made huge contributions to our success.

The Lackey Family
Welcome to Chigger-Hill Farm, home to champion Nubian dairy goats. We are located just south of the DFW metroplex in Midlothian, TX. We have been involved with Nubian dairy goats since 1990. Our original Nubians included does with Warpaint Acres Superbuck and Royal Cedars bloodlines. Over the years we have developed our own special style of Nubian. We endeavor to breed the kind of animal that can thrive in harsher pasture conditions. None of our goats spend their days in a pen, they must be able to move quickly to avoid our cows and the predators we deal with as part of our farm and ranch conditions. Our Nubians are large-framed, but they also exhibit a great deal of refinement, beautiful style, and dairy strength. Since our goats traverse large pasture areas, we place special emphasis on proper leg angulation, strong pasterns, and high, snugly attached udders. We participate in Linear Appraisal but do not yet participate in DHI due to travel requirements and obligations to our extended family. We do not incorporate alfalfa hay into their regular diet due to the prohibitive expense and their tendency to waste it. We do feed additional alfalfa pellets to our milkers while on the stand. It is our desire to breed goats that can survive in a less than optimal environment using economical management techniques.
As we approach the sale of the farm here in Midlothian and the upcoming move to Llano, TX, we have sold a number of our younger milking does in order to focus on our treasured older does and our upcoming doelings. Therefore, the dams of many of our featured doelings may be seen on the Reference Doe Page. We feel extremely fortunate to have found outstanding homes for these young does and feel confident that they are contributing in their new homes.
