The goal of our breeding program is to bring improvement to the breed and to our herd with a focus on higher milk production. Our mission is to raise high quality, healthy, happy animals with excellent conformation and amazing potential for milk production. We want our goats to excel in the milk pail and in the show ring!
Our herd is carefully managed to the best of our ability to ensure healthy, productive and happy animals. Our goats are regularly monitored and we are always watching them to hopefully help us catch any illnesses early and provide the necessary medical and supportive. All of our animals have a health record on file that is updated as needed and follows the animal to their new home if sold, including all of our kids.
Our herd is cared for by Battenkill Bovine Veterinary practice in Greenwich NY.
Our pregnant or milking does are fed a mixture of Kalmbach Milk Maker and Kalmbach Goat Granola on the milk stand twice daily. All of our girls have the best quality hay we can buy, fresh water, Sweetlix Meat Maker minerals and Zinpro 40 available to them at all times.
During breeding season our bucks are fed Kalmbach Non-GMO Dairy goat feed. The buck's grain contains ammonium chloride which is an essential ingredient to help prevent and/or help break up urinary crystals which could form a blockage, which is a medical emergency. Our bucks have hay, fresh water, Sweetlix Meat Maker loose minerals and Zinpro 40 available to them at all times.
