Monach farm has been breeding since the early 1970s, although we kept goats for many years before that.

We keep 4 main dairy breeds - British Saanen, British Toggenburg, British Alpine, and Anglo-Nubian. The herd has been annually negative tested for CAE for over 25 years, many of our animals have our own breeding prefix for 10 or more generations and are also bred for their longevity, with some of our milkers still producing high yields at over 10 years old. Our goats are kept as a commercial enterprise on a mixed livestock farm. They are bred primarily for their milk production with the average herd yield being 1600 liters per annum ( ranging between 1200kg/year - 2000kg/year) per goat.

Over the last 20 years, we have had export links with a number of countries including China, Denmark, Holland, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Kenya, Switzerland, Trinidad, Kuwait, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Russia, Bermuda, Guadeloupe, and Martinique.
