     Our 2009 Dairy Herd

Thank you for your interest in our dairy goat herd. We have been raising dairy goats since 1980, our first goats being a 4-H project for our youngest son, Richie. Our herd consisted strictly of Nubians until 1988 when we added our first LaMancha doe. It didn't take long for them to steal our hearts and take over the entire barn! Our herd now consists totally of LaManchas. This is our 23rd year on DHIR test, and we have had the top milk and butterfat LaMancha in the state of Colorado for the past 19 years.

We have been on a strict CAE prevention program since 1988, and we will continue to do so because it works! Every kid is taken at birth - every birth is attended! All our kids are raised on heat treated colostrum and bottle fed pasteurized milk. In addition the entire herd is vaccinated for tetanus and entero and dewormed regularly. We feed the highest quality alfalfa available, a 16% protein grain mix, and free choice of salts and minerals.

2009 has been an exciting year for our herd!  We finished the show season with 11 GCH's, 11 Res. GCH, 6 BOB and 10 BIS wins, under 6 different judges, with 13 different animals!! Tricky was really hard to get in front of. She easily finished her championship at the first 3 shows of the season. Breezy also finished her championship this year and looked absolutely incredible at one of the last shows of the season, and not only finished her championship that day but came away with BOB, BDIS and BIDS - I was so excited. Trisket also finished the season with 2 GCH legs. Party Girl, Juliet, Trinity, Charade and Amethea all won their dry legs, 4 of them also bringing home a BJDIS win. We added 2 beautiful new buck kids to the herd this spring, and are very excited about using them back into our breeding program. It has been an awesome year!

The following sales list offers prices on kids available for the 2010 kidding season. We have picked which does we would like to retain doe kids out of, however we are very limited in how many we can keep. So if there is something you are interested in, please ask! Just because we say we will retain a doe kid does not mean we can keep them all, and if a good number of doe kids are born, some of those marked to be retained would have to be offered for sale. In order to keep our herd size manageable, we will be offering several quality milkers for sale in the spring. Extended milk records available upon request.

A $100.00 deposit is required on all orders, with the balance due upon notification of birth. If the balance is not received within 2 weeks the kid will be offered to someone else. We do reserve the right to our choices of replacement animals, so, if possible, please select a first and second choice kid. If both choices of kids are unavailable, your deposit is refunded. NO refunds of deposits on canceled orders. For animals ordered after birth we do not guarantee these prices. We will take deposits on bucks out of first fresheners, but must make our final decision on that sale after the doe has freshened. We will not sell any kid unless we feel it is of outstanding quality. This does not mean that all kids sold will be grand champions, but should compete well. If any animal is found to be genetically unsound or infertile it will be replaced, contingent upon receiving a vet’s signed statement that the problem was of genetic origin. All shipping costs and health certificates are the buyer’s responsibility.

Thank you to all of the breeders who purchased animals from us in 2009. Our records and pictures are updated so take a look at what is available for 2010. Please check back often for more updates and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
