 "Where Every Animal Is Special"

Goats

We began raising goats in 1997 when Teri, our youngest child, was found to be allergic to cow's milk. We started with a grade Alpine/Nubian cross doe who was an excellent milker. Our next addition was a registered Nubian buck, The Schenck's Sir Napoleon Jr., who became our foundation herdsire and can still be found on our Nubian does' pedigrees. After acquiring Junior, we began raising purebred registered and percentage Nubian goats. We hand-milked the does and bottle raised all kids. When Junior died, we bought a new buck, K-Judel Mighty Nero, a nephew of Junior's. Nero can also be found on many of our does pedigrees. Due to changes in the goat market and with our older children out of school and into college, we found that we did not have the time to direct attention to our dairy goats and switched our focus to Boers.
