Here are a few notes from customers who have purchased one or more goats from our herd. We strive to please all those who purchase from us and we are confident
in the quality of our bloodlines.
Susan Selvage was extremely helpful to us before, during, and even after our goat purchase. We bought our first goats from Whispering Pines, and we felt comfortable closing the deal for our twin mini-nubian does long distance. They are gorgeous, and just what we wanted. When we arrived to pick up our girls, we ended up purchasing a third doe! Susan and her husband Vencil are honest, caring and knowledgeable. We would purchase from them again.

Susan has been an amazing help to me on my journey into raising Miniature Nubians. She is very knowledegable about goats and the Mini Nubians in particular. She made herself available to answer any question that I had in a timely manner, no matter how insignificant the question might seem. I had the privilege of spending some time with her at her farm where I met her delightful goats (and other animals). Meeting Susan was like meeting a friend that I had known for many years. Any success I might have in raising Miniature Nubians is due in part to the mentoring I have received from Susan.

My husband and I traveled to the Selvage’s Whispering Pines Farm, down charming country roads, until we turned at the long driveway with a sign telling us we were at the right place. And indeed it was. This was our lucky day! Susan and her big friendly dogs greeted us, and showed us to where their goats live. Theirs was an interesting herd of different colors and different personalities, but we had eyes only for the very small kid whose mother had refused to care for him, making him a “bottle baby.” I didn’t know what that was, but Susan explained that even though it was a less than desirable situation, it provided for a pet goat that is very affectionate, thinking of you as the mommy. Yes, indeed!
We are so happy with our little boy, Finnegan, who was born on St. Patrick’s Day. He is an absolute delight, as are his two buddies, Jet and Bo, who Susan also helped us with. Susan has been a willing source of information, and very much cares. We love our boys!

We had been looking for goats for some time and as soon as we found Susan at Whispering Pines we knew this was the place we wanted to get our goats. Susan was very helpful when picking out just the right goats for us. She was in no rush for us to make a decision and wanted us to be happy about our choice. Susan is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. All of her animals are loved and she only wants the best homes for them. Her love for them and willingness to help us out and keep in touch is yet another reason for choosing to buy goats here. We have two goats, they are brothers but act nothing alike. We got them when they were babies and they are so much fun and part of the family. We would definitely buy goats from her again. And even if we don't we would go back to visit!

I am so happy that I bought my girls from Susan at Whispering Pines Farm. At the time we made the decision to purchase a Mini Nubian there were no Mini Nubian breeders in our area. It was intimidating researching different places without being able to be there in person. Susan was the only one who seemed to care about us getting the right goat to fit our family and did not rush us through our decision. She even encouraged me to really do my research before making a decision. Susan is not out to just sell her goats. She really cares about her animals and who she sells them to. She is very knowledgeable in this breed and answered all of our questions, gave us information we would have never thought to ask, and made sure we knew we can call or email her if we ever needed any more information. She is very friendly and sweet and made us feel confident that we made the right choice in purchasing our first goats from her. We left feeling like we did not only purchase our goats from her, but also made a very good friend. I would recommend Whispering Pines to anyone especially someone who is new to Mini Nubians or goats in general.

I have purchased two mini nubians from Susan. She was wonderful both before and after the sales. She obviously truly loves her goats and cares about their welfare. I can still depend on her to help me with questions and advice two years later.

Susan has helped me from the time that I first started with goats. She has been a wonderful friend and mentor as I have learned about goats. She has repeatedly gone out of her way to be sure that all my questions are answered and I have all the help I need with my goats. I have purchased multiple goats from her and have always been extremely pleased with them.
