Based in WA Jennifer brings some very useful skills.

Based in Central Gippsland I have slowly converted my property from totally Alpacas by sneeking in a couple of tiny goats, to now having gathered quite a group of the little rascles. My passion is sharing information to other breeders as a qualified NPGAA judge to exhibitors, especially the youth.

Karen began breeding Miniature goats in 2010 and Springfield Farm Stud was formed. Karen is recognised as a Foundation Breeder of Miniature goats in Australia. In 2016 using Artificial Insemination with her goats and the services of Paul Hamilton, Karen began breeding Pygmy goats. Karens knowledge of registrations is invaluable and we are lucky to have her as the principle registrar. While animal registrations can now be done on your Premium breed account, she makes herself available to assist on those tricky ones.

Carolyn is the Membership Officer for NPGAA. Carolyn is available to assist and help new members with enquiries to assist with becomming familiar with the services the Association provides its members.

Keeping and breeding Pygmys has become such a large part of my life, it was not much of a sacrafice to travel to the USA in 2025 to witness the National NPGA Champion Show. While in the USA I completed the Judges course under the guidance of Carol Hepner and Kelly Culp I am keen to assist where ever possible to help develope the breed and the Association in WA.

I have fulfilled many roles over the years. Daughter, sister, wife, mother, university student, company director and writer. I started my own marketing business in 2000, selling that in 2009 and am still currently a director of our business on the Sunshine Coast Qld. My passion is my writing and have completed nine novels to date. But my love is my goats. We brought our farm in 2011 and we are lucky to live on the beach with a beautiful creek meandering through our property. My goatees are spoilt. This love began when I brought 5 random goats to help keep the weeds under control in our sheep paddocks.  I fell in love and from there became a breeder of miniature goats. That was until I first saw a pygmy goat. Life has never been the same. I now have thirty plus beautiful Pygmy x Miniatures and each day is a wonder at how much they provide unconditional love to my life.
