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. 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
LA6 times with the first session in 1995 and were on group
milk test for years until it finally dissolved. For
2008 we plan to attend Ohio's many club and county fair goat
shows and put a couple of does on one day milk test.
To keep our herd small, we offer the majority of the kid
crop for sale. We also use a boer buck on first and sometimes
second fresheners and all of the crossbred kids are for sale.
If we wish to retain a kid it will be stated. We accept a
$50 deposit per kid on a first come first serve basis. If
your chosen breeding isn't born you may choose another kid or have
your money refunded.
Alpine kids are raised on a CAEV prevention program of heat
treated colostrum and pasteurized goat milk. Boer crosses
and excess buck kids are allowed to nurse their dams. Our herd of alpines and boers has been CAEV and CL negative for years and we have used WSU for this testing since 2003.
Kids are offered
grain and alfalfa hay at an early age to get them started eating
soon and the rumen developed.
The 2007 year has been an exciting one! It started off with a bang when Ambiance gave birth to an AI doe kid sired by Qu'Appelle Joi Acclaim, a breeding I have planned for years. Our show season was one of our most productive with many goats recieving legs towards their championships. This was the first year in a very long time that we have shown dry stock and 4 of our dry does won restricted legs and BJDIS honors. Three of those does are *B IR-Ranch NCS Sulten daughters, a buck we feel is going to do good things for our small herd. We showed Sulten for the first time also, and he recieved 2 legs. Our 3 yr old milker Cassidy finished her championship, our 2 yr old milker Athena obtained 1 milking leg, and our beautiful Ambiance added 3 more BDIS wins to her credit. All this showing done with our 3 small children in tow, not an easy job but enjoyable! Another highlight is our children becoming increasingly interested in the goats, with Jenna aquiring a sweet lamancha doe she calls her "Munchie". It is a joy and so entertaining to watch her and Holden attempt to show her and our alpine doe kids. We always enjoy the summer show season sharing our animals with our family and visiting with all of our great goat friends!!
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. After
almost 20 years together we feel blessed to have 3 healthy children
to share our lives and animals with.
