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 24th year on DHIR test, and we have had the top milk and butterfat LaMancha in the state of Colorado for the past
21 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.
We attended our 3 local shows again this year, and I also got to travel to Wyoming State Fair for the first time in several years. That show used to be our favorite of the season, and I had such a good time. We ended the season with 9 GCH's, 3 Res. GCH's, 6 BOB's and 4 BIS wins, as well as 1st place Dairy Herd and Best 3 Sr. Females at the District 7 Specialty Show in August. Disco Dancer was undefeated in the yearling class in 8 shows, and was GCH at the last show of the season! Juliet was several times GCH, BOB, BUOB and came home with both BDIS and BUIS honors. Justice was 2X GCH, 2X BOB and 1X BBIS as a yearling. Were we ever excited about that! We also added 2 exciting new junior herdsires and are anxiously awaiting their first kid crops in the spring. IT was a very fun and exciting year for us!
The following sales list offers prices on kids available for the 2012 kidding season. In order to get the herd to a more manageable size for me to care for, we are planning to sell approximately 10 milkers after they freshen, possibly cut a few of the kids that we retained from this year, and the majority of our kid crop will be offered for sale. . Extended milk records are available on 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 2011. Our records and pictures are updated so take a look at what is available for 2012. Please check back often for more updates and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
