From the bloodlines of ARMCH Gay-Mor Berry's
Jurassic 2*D, MCH/PGCH Raha Acres Twinks Pixie*D 'E', MCH Willow Creek
Instant Replay ++S, and Many other greats, we are please to have built
up our own Proud Bloodline. Our animals are already proving themselves capable of
taking top honors, even in large classes. We are proud with our
first ventures into showing.
A Note on Pricing
Though
you may feel our prices are high, even for
"just a pet," we assure you, we are doing our best to keep our prices
reasonable. Because we test our animals so rigourously and
regularly to ensure a healthy herd, we can not offer prices for much
below $300, except for Wethers (neutered males for pets).
Our herd is tested twice yearly for CAE, yearly for Johnes and CL, and
as needed for TB
and
Brucellosis (NYS is Certified free of TB/Bru, we test all incoming
additions, outgoing animals as required by state regs, and show
animals). All our current test results are
available to
all our customers with every purchase. We do at times also
run a
blood level assay to find out how our feeding program is doing and
where changes need to be made in order to prevent problems before they
start. By purchasing your animal from us, you can be sure of
getting a healthy goat!
Herd Management
We
feed a variety of feeds to create a natural
balnce for our animals' overall health. Our herd is on pasture
during all but the worst of the winter months, as well as receiving a
variety of hays, such as oat/alfalfa mix, alfalfa/orchardgrass,
birdsfoot trefoil, or timothy/alfalfa/clover.
In addition, we also feed a variety of cut browse from our
woodlot such as Briar Rose, Maple, Ash, Apple, Walnut, Blackberry,
Grape, vetch, trefoil, and others. We also feed a high fiber
grain mix,
and offer free choice loose minerals. We worm regularly with
both
Natural and chemical wormers, and use fecal exams to test the
effectiveness of our methods.
