Our dairy goat herd got started in 1990 and is composed of
Nubians & Lamanchas.
Enjoy yourself browsing around in our herd. If you have any questions,
feel free to email or phone us.
Our health policy-
. Healthy goats are an important issue to us. We test
annually for CAE and currently have no positives in the herd and have not
had any for several years. Our animals have never had an infectious
abscess. We feed heat-treated colostrum and pasteurized milk as
part of our strict CAE prevention program. They are vaccinated against the Clostridial diseases and tetanus
and kids are fed grain with Deccox for coccidial control. We also provide
a free choice goat mineral mixture.
We strive to have a small herd and to keep the resident
milker list as low as possible. This means many fine show quality milkers
will be for sale during the year. Let us know if you are interested in a
specific doe (or buck) and we will let you know if she/he becomes
available.
Our goal is to breed consistently beautiful,
productive, healthy, sound and long-lived dairy animals. We are not currently on DHIR as our
tester moved away. I am hoping to go back on test as an owner sampler in
2007 to get the girls some well-deserved stars.
We have regular herd appraisals and a moderate show schedule as yet other
tools to reach our herd goals.
We have enjoyed preparing this edition of our herd list
for you. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Visitors are always
welcome!
