**Grass emphasis refers to operations that include pasture as a major part (more than 75%) of the animal's diet.

Goats are not grazers and usually must be fed large amounts of grain. Most of the goats on the farms listed here are allowed to browse and spend time on pasture, but very few goat dairies use pasture as a major source of feed. This option has been discontinued for goat dairy listings.
