Wingwood Farm was established over 40 years ago by Karen Smith with the support of her husband, Walter and later her two daughters, Fauna and Trinity. With Karen at the helm , we have been the breeders of some truly awesome does and bucks, making a small contribution to the advancement of the Nubian breed along the way. More recently Wingwood Farm has really become a family affair with animals living at Karen and Walter's, Fauna and Tam's, and Trinity and Andrew's. Wingwood Farm is a reservoir of some pretty impressive genetics and we are particularly pleased with the progress we have made in the last few years in the production end of things. Seven Wingwood Farm bucks and two previous herd sires were named ADGA Elite Nubian sires in 2017.
In 2017 we were able to attend both the California State Fair District 8 Nubian Specialty and Sonoma County Fair with a full string. We couldn't be more pleased with our results. Wingwood Farm Ami Tiger Lily was selected as champion doe at both shows. We had many other class winners, junior champion, best udder, high placing animals and were premier breeder and exhibitor at both fairs as well as winning total performer and premier sire (*B Wingwood Farm Lucky Amadeus) at State. We had first place dairy herd and best three females at the California State Fair.

2017 Dairy Herd: SGCH Tiger Lily, AVIVa, SGCH Amati, SGCH Altima
You will see in our individual doe descriptions that we are on DHIR test and we do linear appraisal. We attend about 2-3 Fairs annually, as well as a few club shows. In Northern California, Nubian breeders compete in strong competition, thanks all the herds who keep the standard of excellence very high.
Because of the need to control the size of the herd, we sell a number of high quality kids and does each year. In the next year (spring and fall 2017) we will be freshening 15 first fresheners, a number of these animals will be offered for sale both as show does or as dairy replacements depending on how they turn out. If you are interested, make sure to contact us early. We do not take deposits on buck or doe kids, but if you express an interest in a particular breeding, let us know, and we will immediately contact you after the doe has freshened. Reservations are on a first come first serve basis.
Thank you for your interest in Wingwood Farm. We hope you enjoy our website. If you have any questions please contact us.
