Our Story

Our Story

image69

Years ago we started off with two goats, a mother and her doeling. For beginners, this was a great way to start off in the goat world. With her mother by her side, we didn't need to worry about weaning a baby goat. Goats can be easy keepers until they are not. With the help of a mentor we made it through the first year. There is a lot to learn about goat care. Goats are ruminants and can be plagued with parasite problems. With parasites becoming drug resistant we wanted to raise our goats as naturally as possible. We use good hygiene in the pens, pasture rotation, herbal wormers and most importantly a good healthy diet of forage, antibiotic free grain, Chaffhaye, locally raised hay, and vegetables and herbs we grow at the farm. We are currently doing some clinical trials on lunar herbal worming and Bioworma. This involves monthly fecal testing and good documentation. It will take 6-12 months to collect all the data but always searching for natural ways to improve the health of the herd.

There is nothing more relaxing and uplifting than watching baby goats hopping around the yard. We were hooked. Breeding became a passion about sharing that joy.

We carefully screen potential clients to make sure our babies will be well taken care of with educated families. We spend considerable time with our goats training them to be friendly and trusting of their human herd so they are ready to be with future families. Nothing is more disappointing than going home with new goats who seems afraid of you. That will not happen with our goats. We also feel it is important to spend just as much time with clients if they are new to having goats. We strongly encourage visits to the farm before purchasing goats.

As many goat owners do, we started off with Nigerian Dwarf Goats. We wanted smaller pets with the potential to show and milk. They have strong personalities and are very playful. We have since added Mini Tennessee Fainting goats or Mini Myotonic Fainting Goats and Mini Silkie Fainting Goats. I believe they are becoming my favorite! They are strictly bred as pets. They are extremely friendly and gentle. They hop around as babies but as they grow older are very content animals. They rarely challenge a fence and certainly do not jump as adults.  All of our adults will quietly walk up to you and wait to be brushed, fed or loved on. These goats are perfect for young toddlers or children with disabilities. We are currently making some changing in the herd breeding down in size. This means breeding myotonic females to our very small silky myotonic buck.  Pictures may not be updated for a while but feel free to call for more information on the breeding program.
