I am looking for a diary goat farm in the East TN, SW Virginia, NW North Carolina area. Local telephone books and newspapers don't list any and can't find any on the Internet. Feed stores don't know of any locally, only meat goats. I need some hands-on assistance as I'm sure I'm not milking correctly and am willing to be taught. If anyone can help me find a local goat dairy or even someone with one or two goats that they milk, I would appreciate it greatly.

I know of a few dairy goat breeders in the regions you mentioned. There is Sunrise Meadows in TN, don't have their website, but it will come up on a search. I also suggest joining the district3news@yahoogroups.com list, its the weekend and folks post what they ahve for sale. Or you can post your ad, or if you'd like I can post it for you. Also try going to www.agdomain.com then to breeders, then goats then the breed you want and the state, it will give you the listings. Hope this helps. If you'd like, e-mail me privately for more breeder contact information.
