Spring has sprung and babies are arriving now
...and will continue into June
We have confirmed all the does we are expecting to kid by blood test through Biotracking.com. We also had current CAE negative tests done at the same time.
We are expecting Purebred Nigerian Dwarf kids by DesertNanny BF Prairie Scooner out of 3 does in April and May. Most, if not all, of these kids will be for sale at 2 weeks or less for greatly reduced prices.
UPDATE ~~ Celebration kidded with QUINTS on 4/17...2 bucks and 3 does.
One of the Celebration/Scooner does was retained and all other kids were sold.
Further, we have bred 5 Purebred LaMancha does bred to Scooner also. The resulting kids will be registerable through MDGA (which we are currently members). They will be F1 Mini-LaManchas and come from very correct, milky, stock on both sides. We will be keeping a select few of these kids as breeding stock for future Minis and the rest will be sold at reduced rates also if purchased by the age of two weeks.
Many more kids will be available...Nigerian Dwarfs and Mini-LaMancha as well as a select few Purebred LaMancha kids. Our does are bred to 5 different bucks for spring kids.
We will be breeding around 20 Nigerian Dwarf does to kid in late October and November. We have 7 different ND bucks to cover the does for Fall.
We also are planning to breed several yearling Nubian and LaMancha does to kid in late fall to early winter. Two Purebred LaMancha along with 2 Purebred Nubian bucks will cover these standards.
Few kids will be kept and we will be selling many of the fall freshening does as milkers. If you are interested in planning for your own milk source this fall please contact us. We will put your name on a reservation list for a deposit of $100. You will be notified as soon as 1 or more animals become available and the earliest deposit will have first choice or right of refusal.
Multiple purchases will be discounted!!
Here is the reason few kids will be kept this year. With an increase in laundry and other responsibilities we have less time for outside chores.
Our human baby has arrived weighing in at 9 lbs. .5 oz., 21 inches long.
Her name is Jubilee Echo
About us...
We have lived here in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri for the past twenty years. We are a Christian, home schooling family that strives each day for self-sufficiency. We grow our own vegetables from heirloom seeds, hand-milk Jersey cows for milk, cream, butter and cheese, and keep chickens for fresh eggs. We also sport a pretty big "herd" of guineas that mate and take care of themselves. They are great for eating the unwanted ticks and chiggers the Ozarks have to offer. Some people think the noise they make is "racket" but, honestly, unless I'm standing next to them, I don't even hear it.
We want to honor Jesus Christ, the one and only Creator of the Universe, in everything we do.
"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3
Nigerian Dwarf, LaMancha, Mini-Mancha and Nubian Goats
We are breeders of MDGA, AGS and ADGA registered milk goats!
Jersey Milk Cows
We also have Jersey milk cows. We breed them for milk. All of our stock are gentle enough for children to handle or they don't live here. We love to halter break and train heifers to hand milk. It is so important to do it the right way and not allow bad habits. Please contact us if you are interested in owning your own cow. We are always raising new heifers and keep a milk and/or beef breed bull on site. We are planning on breeding two or three dairy cross heifers this summer to our Jersey bull. We will be selling some or all of these heifers as bred milk heifers or possibly as "cows in milk" after calving and training them to hand milk.
