Welcome to Susurrare Salix
(Whispering Willow)
Nigerian dwarf Goats
Calhoun, tennessee
Our Herd Name:Susurrare Salix is our herd name. This translates from Latin to Whispering Willow. The Willow was a surprise birthday gift from my husband the first year we lived here in Calhoun, TN. If you've ever been near a Weeping Willow, you'll hear the branches whispering, as though they have wonderful secrets to share...

Welcome to Whispering Willow Farm!! Thank you for coming to (virtually) visit!
Here at Susurrare Salix (Whispering Willow), we strive for friendly, healthy goats with correct conformation as well as a productive, well attached, easily milked udder. Our goal is to improve upon our does with selective breeding so that our kids have a chance of being more correctly within the breed standard than their dam or grandam. We also select for parasite resistance & goats that are "easy keepers" without tending toward fat or meaty body type.
