LeRoy Purchaser of Goats & Mentor/Mentee "Amazing herd and Abby is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful breeders that you could ever find!!!" "Abby Messer you are building a fantastic herd and I could not be prouder than what I am of what you are accomplishing!!! I am so glad to be a small part of helping you restart!!!" Michelle Lessee of Goats & Mentee "I admired you long before I met you. Stalking through the West Coast breeders, I did peruse your site on many occasions. I love how you try to help other breeders out. When reviewing your herd management program, I realized that it closely aligned with what I wanted for my herd. So I printed it and put it in the back of my herdbook. It was so exciting to meet you face-to-face and see your kids in person. I so value our budding friendship and the opportunity you have given me to bring Hissy here for a little while to further my breeding program." Katie Mentee "I met her a year ago and she has been a huge help and inspiration. I almost got out of goats but she helped me find my love for them again. She is fun to show with, and always puts a smile on my face no matter my mood. And she is very knowledgeable. Like if you have a question... she has an answer 2x. Freaking love that girl! "Abby is one of the most influential people I know when it comes to goats! She is knowledgeable and is willing to help with anything at any time. She really puts all of her blood, sweat, and tears into these animals. I would recommend her knowledge and show stock to anyone! Can't go wrong with a Broken Top kid" Krista Farm Fan "Love seeing pictures of all your babies." Karen Farm Fan & Online Mentee "5 Stars 10/10 recommend their feeding program! I started with Abby’s tips on how to improve my BF in my two does on milk test. I started the feeding program 6-7 weeks ago and have seen their numbers grow on a steady upward trend. One of them is over 9% BF now. Thank you, Abby and Broken Top Farm!" Gina Chapstick Purchaser "Woo Hoo! Amazing chapstick!!!" Raisha Chapstick Purchaser "Love their chapstick!!! Goes on super soft and leaves my lips moisturized! Honey Almond is my favorite!!! Amy Soap, Chapstick, and Custom Tag Purchaser "I received my package today that had all my variety of soaps that I ordered. All the varieties of goat milk soaps are amazing. Shipping was fast & each soap was wrapped up so nicely. Very happy! Life-long customer right here, thank you BTF!" Kalyn Egg Purchaser "Sweetest owners and best eggs ever!!! 11/10 recommend if you’re in the area!!!" Elayne Chapstick Purchaser "Hands down, 110% recommend their chapstick…no joke, it is the BEST product I have ever used." Kelly Egg and Chapstick Purchaser "We have been purchasing Broken Top Farm fresh eggs for some time and if you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out! Abby is always so accommodating and helpful in making sure we are stocked with these delicious eggs. Recently, I branched out and tried their chapstick. All I can say is, WOW!!! I ordered 3 different kinds which I shared with family. This stuff works! It’s creamy, soothing and the flavors are yummy. I also tried their goat milk soap. It too did not disappoint. Excited to try some of the other products they sell on their website!! Highly Recommend Broken Top Farm!!" Cynthia Egg Purchaser "We recently discovered their farm and bought some eggs. They taste great, and we look forward to more. We thought EB eggs were good, but these are better." Stacie Mentee & Farm Fan "I enjoy following your Farm and have learned so much from what you share!" Kinslee Goat Purchaser & Mentee "You’re awesome at getting back and making sure all questions are answered." Rachel Purchaser of Goats "...It makes me feel like, in some small way, I'm supporting your farm, which has just blown me away with its ethics and commitment to the community." Liz Farm Fan "I really appreciate you getting back to me and following through. A lot of folks don’t take that effort. Thank you!" Laura Mentee "You’re a wealth of knowledge and could do some great things for the youth in this area" Jennifer Farm Fan "I love your display. And love the posters that answer all the questions people ask. Would love to make these for our local fair this weekend. It is perfect." Jaime Farm Fan & Recieved Donated Goods for a Local Group "The soap smells so amazing!

He's a Nubian wether, in honor of my very first herd as a child - which consisted of all Nubians. He might not be the biggest Nubian, but it just helps him blend in with his little friends! Pickle isn't registered, nor are his origins known, so rest assured that mom and dad are just dreamt up names - but we can pretend! Although we can't register him, we got him his own certificate of registration through ADGA so he can feel special too!
