A joyful heart is good medicine......
Neighbors have complained that our Livestock Guardian dogs bark too much and the Riverside County Animal Service (RCAS) held an Administrative
Hearing and ruled that our guardian dogs are a public nuisance. The California Right to Farm Act (CA Civil Code Section 3482.5) protects farmers in
this type of situation. However, the Hearing Officer did not agree with the State Law. The Hearing Officer acknowledged the Right to Farm Act for
crop farmers and their implements used in farming, such as tractor noise, but not farmers of livestock who use Livestock Guardian Dogs, which is a
common farm practice in this country.

This is not just "our" fight ~ but will impact any livestock farmer, who depends on Livestock Guardian Dogs to protect their herds and flocks from
predation, especially in California!

We are in support of the ADGA Nigerian Dwarf Buck Height Proposal
Joyful Hearts Farm is nestled amongst vineyards, citrus groves and rolling hills in Temecula's Wine Country in Southern
California. We
raise Registered Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats for the small homestead, show prospects, breeding stock, 4H/FFA, and pets.
Our entire adult herd has tested Negative annually for CAE & CL since 2005! Last tests done via WADDL on October 8th, 2010.....Negative of course!
We ship our little goats all over the country!
We also raise Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. We offer our farm fresh eggs to local customers, as well as shipping BLRW
fertile hatching eggs from Winter through Spring each year. Additionally, we
offer raw goat milk for sale for pets or soap makers, subject to availability.
Our foundation herd has been very carefully selected from the best bloodlines in the
country, including Jobi Dairy in Texas, and top New England genetics from Rosasharn & Fairlea Farms. We are striving to breed the all
around dairy goat
by placing equal emphasis on conformation and milk production. We are committed to participating in regular evaluations of our does
as offered by AGS & ADGA, as well as milk testing. We also participate in limited shows to let our girls strut their stuff once in awhile! =)
These pages are best viewed while eating a bowl of creamy Ice Cream made from sweet Nigerian Dwarf milk! =)
If you would like to stay current with our farm happenings, birth announcements, available kids or adult Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats for sale, as well
as when day old chicks and hatching eggs become available, please join our Joyful Hearts Farm email list!! This is an Announcement group so you will
not receive much mail throughout the year.
