Our herd consists of Nubian and Alpine goats. The Nubians are well
known for their long floppy ears. Alpines are very graceful and have erect
ears. They remind me by their appearance that goats are related to the
deer family.
The herd is really two existing herds that were combined to start our
dairy. One herd originated in 2000, the other in 2004. All of our
animals are tested for TB, Brucellosis, CAE and parasites on a regular basis.
They
range in age from this years kids to five years old. A well cared for dairy
goat will produce milk anywhere from 7-10 years on average. They are
curious and gentle by nature which makes them perfect as a dairy animal.
They
are friendly and remind me a lot of dogs, as they will follow you around and
want to be wherever you are.
