Welcome to our dairy goat page! Please feel free to visit with our lovely girls and handsome boys, as they love company! Have any questions? Please feel free to email us or call!
We are located
an hour east of Nashville and only 7 miles off the interstate.
In our herd, we place foremost importance on milk production,
structural soundness and ability to thrive in a pasture situation.
Unfortunately DHIA test has proven cost prohibitive for us, but
Darrin has experience as a tester in Oklahoma, and we perform
our own tests based on milk weights to monitor the does’
production. We fear that sometimes the show ring emphasis
is too much on "Goat" and not enough on "Dairy
Goat." Our plan is not to sacrifice the ultimate purpose
of these wonderful animals. |

We breed for
animals with strong, straight legs, and exceptional body capacity.
This is particularly important as ours is strictly a pasture operation. Unlike most goat operations, we do not dry
lot, stall, or confine our animals on concrete. They stay outside all of the time except for the most inclement winter weather.
This yields a hardy animal capable of sustaining milk production
FEED: Our
animals are on a legume rich pasture year round. In the winter
we supply orchard grass hay as well as millet haylage. We feed
a custom blend feed that is 11-13% protein. We realize this is low
protein, but as we are not pushing for milk production, and
the protein in our pasture and hay is so high, we feel it is
adequate for our situation. High quality
free choice mineral is available as is salt.
HEALTH
INFORMATION: We worm using a rotational
worming system. Pregnant does are vaccinated for CD&T, CL and boostered
annually. All animals are vaccinated against rabies. Our herd is certified
and accredited negative for TB and Brucellosis.
