Quality
Mini Nubians
We are a small operation in Canyon Lake, Texas that prides ourselves on raising wonderful, healthy Mini Nubian dairy goats to join your family homestead and provide you with plenty of rich, sweet milk.
Herd health is our top priority. Rafter O goats are tested for CAE, CL, and Johne’s. The entire Rafter O Mini Nubian herd is also G6S normal.
Our Mini Nubians are a variety of generations – 1st through 7th. We have brought in lower generations and full Nubians to work on more diversity and bloodlines in the Mini Nubians. They are registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association and the American Dairy Goat Association.
Our goal is to provide kids with great milk lines, good conformation, excellent Nubian traits, and friendly! Rafter O Mini Nubian kids are so people-oriented..sometimes I wonder if they know they are goats!

A Few Words from
Our Mini Nubian Families
“Kerry O’Neal is fantastic. I purchased an amazing Mini Nubian buckling from Rafter O and I am looking forward to his offspring in the future. Kerry’s goats are just impeccable and her farm is run in the most professional and friendly manner.”
“Kerry at the Rafter O has been wonderful and tremendously helpful to me this past year as I began my adventure with Mini Nubians! I bought a beautiful buckling out of Junebug and while I was there picking him up, I fell in love with a doeling who was just so pretty and sweet, I couldn’t resist! I am very pleased with both of my kids. They are healthy, friendly and have some great genetics. Thank you so much Kerry, for selling me your quality goats and answering all of my many questions!! “
“I purchased 2 of the absolute sweetest doelings from Rafter O! Had them brought all the way to PA and it was one of the easiest transactions. Kerry had everything ready and was very accommodating to myself and my hauler. Would definitely recommend them..and may just purchase more of their beauties in the future 😘”
“When we first decided to add dairy goats to our farm, my husband started researching and searching Facebook where he came across a sales ad for the Rafter O. We purchased our very first starter herd from the Rafter O and from the moment we got them home, we were hooked. We originally purchased a doe in milk(Kandi), her doeling (Rafter O Agarita) and a buckling (Rafter O Tarantula). Last year, we have added another doe in milk (Tilly), her doeling (Rafter O Skunk), a buckling (Rafter O Red Admiral) and this year our daughter added a buckling for her herd (Rafter O American Badger). We couldn’t be more pleased with our Rafter O goats and look forward to many more purchases in the future. We have even referred the Rafter O to friends who are looking to get started in Mini Nubians. Not only are the goats from the Rafter O solid, healthy goats with excellent genetics, Kerry’s customer service and continued support over the years cannot be beat! We are forever thankful for the chance to call Kerry our friend and mentor.”
“I love my Rafter O goats! I am a repeat customer. I find Kerry’s stock to be high quality, very friendly, healthy and Kerry is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. I purchased a buck from her that has consistently produced gorgeous, healthy, correct offspring. I recently purchased a doeling from her and I can not wait to see what she produces as well.”
“In my opinion, you can’t find any better goats than Rafter O at Cordova Creek!
I have 3 to show for it! This year was Millie. She’s a cross between goat, dog, and deer. Sweetest little girl💕.
She was raised with pure love, and I was lucky enough to get her. Kerry’s goats are the best!
She does a fantastic job on their health records, something very helpful to have.
In the short time I’ve known Kerry, she’s always been so knowledgeable, helpful and always willing to share her experience and knowledge with me. She really cares and loves her goats.
As for Miss Millie,…She is the perfect pet. I love her to pieces. She’s spoiled rotten and I love it. I didn’t know a goat would cuddle up to a person like she does! Everywhere I go Millie goes. She doesn’t know she’s a goat. I don’t have children, but Kerry’s goats would be the perfect pet for children.
My goats have all been so gentle and sweet from being raised with the love Kerry gives them. She makes the difference in their personalities towards people. My goats had 2 babies this year and they didn’t turn out to be as sweet as Kerry’s.
Anybody who wants a Great Mini Nubian, go see Kerry at Rafter O at Cordova Creek! You’ll be very happy you did!!
Thank you so very much, Kerry!”
“Kerry takes great pride in her goats and it shows from the updates she sends to her knowledge she eagerly shares and her attention to detail in the records and packet she provides. Her process and her goats and top-notch. All of the goats I have purchased from Kerry also have very sweet personalities.”
“We bought two does from Rafter O two years ago to start our herd. Detailed health records were provided for each goat and Kerry was helpful in answering all our questions as first-time goat owners. Molly and Honeycomb were disease-free and very friendly to people. Rafter O Honeycomb is a beautiful doe that our whole family loves to milk. Her teats are fantastic and her milk is rich. Kerry went above and beyond in providing us support. She has been a reliable resource and trusted friend as we continue to work with her on improving our herd and providing our family with delicious goat milk.”
“So many wonderful things to say about Kerry and her herd! This is our third year doing business with her and it’s always a pleasure, everything is so organized and clean-cut as far as paperwork goes. Not to mention she has the friendliest babies! Can’t wait to improve our herd with our new beautiful doelings.”
