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. In 2019 Karen was awarded the Breeder of Excellence Award by The International Nubian Breeders Association. Wingwood Farm is really 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. We have had many does and bucks on the ELITE lists since their inception in 2015 and have had several Top-Ten animals in the last few years. Additionally, we have seen an increase in our rolling herd average.
In 2019 and 2021 we were able to attend the ADGA National Shows. In 2019 we had 1st Place 2-year-old with SGCH Wingwood Farm Sweet Avina as well as 1st Place Dairy Herd, Senior Get-of-Sire (+*B My-Enchanted-Acres LM Candyman), Dam and Daughter (SGCH Altima and SG Amber) and Produce of Dam (SGCH Wingwood Farm Tim's Althea). In 2021 another Candyman daughter, Wingwood Farm Sweet Lady Gayla was 1st Place yearling milker.

xThe most exiting news of 2020 was the arrival of the newest member of the Wingwood Farm human herd, Fauna and Tamati's son, Nikau Gibb Vanderbyl. Karen is taking a step back from the public face of Wingwood Farm, but will continue to be intimately involved in management of the herd.

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. Thank you for your interest in Wingwood Farm. We hope you enjoy our website. If you have any questions please contact us.
