The People, Animals, and story of R corner ranch l.L.C.
Hey! I’m Emily Reed, and I am the main farm girl here. Nice to meet you! I breed Nigerian Dwarf and Mini Nubian goats for conformational correctness and reliable milk production as a member of the ADGA and MDGA. I also raise Saxony and other ducks, high quality Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben chickens, show quality Welsummer chickens with an emphasis on the darkest egg color for the breed, Lavender Ameraucanas, and heritage turkeys. I’m going to also start olive egger and coffee egger experiment birds.
I am located in Silex, MO. I started with goats in 2020 and have really developed my breeding program after loving the world of goats. In 2023, I signed up for my first year of milk testing and linear appraisals. It was a HUGE learning experience. RedHorseValley MKN Blizzard earned a Bronze JUJU for butterfat with the ANDDA with me only milking her once a day half the lactation. It was eye opening, and I decided milk testing is a must. In 2024, my Mini Nubian Scout made the top ten list for two categories as a first freshener! My Nigerian Bambi (RedhorseValley MKU April May) earned a Silver JUJU award. Many other goats would have as well, but due to wifi errors, only Bambi’s went through. Still I was so proud! wonderful. I took a big leap on a buck in 2024 and *B Springwater SDC Sweet Dreams made it to my farm in Missouri. 2o25 brought my biggest investment home: *B Better Wayz Mr 2k Bear, a son of the one and only SG Better Wayz SwissMiss Carabear 3*M 92 VEEE and grandson of SG Better Wayz Isabelle 3*M 92 EEEE. All around his pedigree are some of the most elite does, most structurally correct, and some of the highest producers of milk and butterfat in the US. His aunt holds the record for butterfat and his mom was only a few pounds from matching that record. I am SO excited. He bred most of my does for 2026 kids.
I plan to also collect my bucks in 2026 and may offer straws from them through Blue Mountain Genetics. You will likely be able purchase straws to AI your does if any bucks catch your eye!
I can work with a buyer for transportation. Some options may be more affordable than you think! I can hold goats until 8 weeks with a deposit, but I prefer to sell kids as bottle babies because I have so many kids. See my kidding pages and for sale page for more information!
Feel free to buy whoever is available in the for sale section!
I might not always have kids available. Feel free to ask! My website is often VERY behind, but my Facebook is far more up to date. While I aim for high quality goats, my goats also make great pets and walking buddies to well researched owners. I am very picky about temperament and am honest about all my goats. I will be selling males as pet quality wethers unless they are excellent sires that I would use in my own breeding program. That means only my best will be going as registered bucks, and most will be companions. Goats are NOT a good impulsive buy! They need a companion goat and should not be kept like a dog. I do not condone housing goats with donkeys. Most of my goats are show quality and carry the potential of good, steady production as you milk into January and February, which is great for homesteads/businesses reliant on the milk. They are sold up to date on CDT (if old enough), disbudded, and tattooed (if old enough). AS OF 2026, I am considering banding all wethers before they leave my farm regardless of their age. I had far too many people breed brothers to their wayyyy too young to breed sisters in 2024 and 2025. If I trust you, I will let you band them yourself, but if he is leaving with a doe, I may band before leaving no matter how old he is. The health of the doe and not creating undesirable genetics is more important to me. If they leave in tact, I take no responsibility for your failure to band promptly or separate does and bucks. Bucklings can breed at 5-6 weeks old. I have seen doelings cycle at 6 weeks old. People keep ignoring me about this. I hear all kinds of excuses. I can band them if brought back to me between 8-12 weeks, but my banding tool may not be able to work with them after 12 weeks old. *EDITING SITE I might add this rant lol to a pet wether/pet goat page?

Disease Status Information
Results as of December 2025: All goats over a year old (old enough to be tested reliably) were negative for CAE and Johne’s.
*I will not be testing for CL due to its unreliability, the false positives, and many borderline results people have reported. I have also heard goats can actively have CL and not test positive for the blood test. I have never seen signs of CL in my goats. I do have a few goats I have tested for CL and can show that to any buyers if they are interested. If I find an abscess on a goat in the future, I will directly send a sample of the puss to a lab. That is the reliable way to test. I cannot justify sending bloodwork for CL testing with it not accurately detecting goats with CL present and giving false positives to goats without CL. Thank you for your understanding.*
