Thank you for your interest in our herd.  We have been raising Alpines since 1989 and strive to breed correct productive animals to make up our small herd.  When we aquired our first goats in 1989 we were a newly married couple that moved to the country and determined to "live from the land."  We used our goats milk and meat, had hides tanned, raised chickens and grew a large garden.  We wanted the sales of our goats to be profitable so we joined a DHIR test ring and with those milk records sold goats to the Taiwan Exports. 

Some of you may wonder if we've been breeding goats for 20 years we should be able to boast about generations of homebred champions like some breeders can.  Our main focus back then was to have those goats pay for themselves and then some, and they could do it easily by export.  Showing was secondary.  Today we strive to produce correct show winning goats that can score excellent or above through linear appraisal as a mature doe, but our herd's main purpose is to produce milk for our table.  That milk is used to drink, cook with, make cheese, and raise hogs, chickens, and a calf that we butcher to feed our family.  We are thankful to know exactly what we are feeding our growing children, and we thank God everyday for providing those wonderful goats for our family.  

Over the years we have tried to utilize all of the tools ADGA has to offer by using Linear Appraisal and Milk Test.  We have used linear appraisal 8 times with the first session held in 1995.  In the spring of 2008 we put our herd on DHI milk test and choose the Owner/Sampler plan.  In the spring of 2009 we switched our herd to Standard Test and plan to attend Ohio's many club and county fair goat shows.

To keep our herd small, we often offer a large percentage of the kid crop for sale.  If we wish to retain a kid from a breeding it will be stated.  We accept a $100 dollar deposit per kid on a first come first serve basis. If your chosen breeding isn't born you may choose another kid, so it is wise to make two reservations.  Refunds of deposits are only made when the sex of the kid is not born, and there are no refunds on cancelled orders.  Kid prices start at $250 with first fresheners, and go up as the number of lactations increase, when the doe becomes a champion and as they age and LA scores increase.  

Kids are raised on a CAEV prevention program of heat treated colostrum and pasteurized goat milk.  All births are tended to, very rarely does a birth take place that I'm not standing right in the pen.  We have a home monitor system and births are watched constantly.  Kids are taken immediately and brought into the house for at least 24 hrs, where they stay in a play pen in our utility room.  Our herd has been tested negative for CAEV and CL for many years through various labs, but we have consistently used WSU/WADDL for this service since 2003.  If you wish to see the paperwork, we can provide it.  Kids are offered grain and alfalfa hay at an early age and fed milk by a bucket milk feeder for at least 3 months.

On our website you will find photos and pedigrees of our herd and the chosen breedings.  Prices are for kids up to 4 weeks of age and include delivery to Columbus International Airport.  Upon notification of your kid's birth, the balance needs to be paid in full within 2 weeks.  We accept checks, money orders, and payments by Paypal, but buyers are responsible for Paypal transaction fees.  We do reserve the right to retain any kid born or not to offer a kid if it does not meet our expectations.  The buyer is responsible for shipping fee, health papers, and shipping crate.

If something interests you, then lets talk!!  Feel free to email or call us and we'll try our best to find an animal to fit your needs.  Please be aware that there are no guarantees with genetics.  This is a challenge that all breeders face, sometimes the breeding works and sometimes it doesn't!  We will do our best to educate you on the strengths and weaknesses of each animal.  We cannot guarantee how an udder will turn out on a doe kid, or how a buck's genetics will mesh with your herd.  We do guarantee a healthy CAEV negative kid when shipped to you or picked up at our farm.  PJ-Baileys' reserves 20 straws of semen from any buck sold for the cost of collection, and we adbide by ADGA Recommended Trade Practices for Members (ADGA Guidebook, bylaws article XIX)

Our herd has experienced an outstanding year for 2011.  We attended 7 local shows and brought home 15 GCH's, 9 RGCH's, 17 BOB's and 15 BIS wins.The show ring goal is to hopefully finish at least one goat from our small herd each show season.  This year it was our stylish CH PJ-Baileys' FTC Antique Lace to obtain her championship.  Our handsome 2 yr old herd sire CH Windrush Farms IRS Charmer strutted his way through the buck shows and finished his championship.  Our biggest highlight to the 2011 show season was the ADGA National Show in W. Springfield, Mass.  It was our herd's third time to attend a national show and we were thrilled with the doe's placings!!  It was also a national show of "firsts" for our herd!  We received several 1st placings along with udder placings.  Best of all we brought home our first homebred ADGA National Junior Alpine Champion- PJ-Baileys' Charmer Aglimmer!!   For icing on the "show ring cake" our GCH +*B IR-Ranch NCS Sulten daughters represented the herd well once again, starting with our beautiful GCH PJ-Baileys' Sulten Arabella 5*M.  Her lactation of 305 3761 152F 101P led her to the spot of # 10 for butterfat on ADGA's 2010 Top 10 list!!!  Arabella is also the mother to our 2011 National Junior Alpine Champion- Aglimmer!   Our striking GCH PJ-Baileys' Sulten Anzella 2*M added 8 more BIS awards to her record as well as placing 2nd/3rd udder 5-6 yr old at the nationals.  To finalize what our Sulten daughters can do- PJ-Baileys' Sulten Astraea placed 3rd/2nd udder in the milking yearling class and PJ-Baileys' Sulten Ashtoreth was 1st place Senior kid at the 2011 National Show!!  Sulten himself swept the buck shows bringing home 7 BBIS wins at 8 yrs old!!!  We feel very blessed with our herd's accomplishments!         

Three new wonderful little people have come into our lives with the birth of Jenna Oct 16, 2003, Holden Nov 21, 2004, and Ashley Jan 11, 2007.  Our goal is to raise our children to love the Lord and reflect in His ways.  We have found raising dairy goats offers our family realistic life situations brought on by the goats themselves and the people that come with them that definately teach us to grow in our walk with the Lord.  After over 20 years of marriage we feel blessed and thank God to have 3 healthy children to share our lives and animals with.

THANK YOU,
Patricia, John, Jenna, Holden & Ashley Bailey
