How often do you check and deworm your herd? How do you deworm? (whole herd at once, as needed, etc) Do you do any performance programs or show?ħ. ![]() What biosecurity measures do you take for your herd to prevent disease?Ħ. Have you ever had signs of or positive tests for CAE, CL, Johnes or any other disease?Ĥ. Do you test for CAE, CL, and Johnes? How often? Can I see the results?Ģ. No matter who you buy from, ask about their herd testing and proof of it.Īsk anyone you are purchasing goats from:ġ. It would be heartbreaking to watch a pet slowly die from the easily testable CAE, Johnes, or CL that is then spread to all your other animals. Most cheap goats have corners cut from not health testing, no herd goals, and they rarely can give advice as needed due to limited experience with farm animals. While some of my goats have these traits too, it is not my main goal and at the expense of more important traits. ![]() Yes some people will sell goats cheaper or have more flash (blue eyes, moonspots, etc). I try to put up clear conformation pictures of each animal as well as udder pictures. It helps having an experienced opinion and hard numbers to make decisions. That is why we do linear appraisal and plan to begin milk testing. No animal is perfect, but the aim is to keep improving with each generation. We try to produce the healthiest, well bred goats we can that also have great conformation and udders. Our lines include exceptional farms like Old Mountain Farm, Cedar View, Feather N Scale Farm (now Lone Feather), Kaapio Acres, Little Tot's Estate, Rosasharn, Kyeema Ridge, Dawnland, Painted Pepper, CUatLilRedBarn, Meadowmist, Dragonfly, Flat Rock, Piddlin' Acres, Honey Locust, Wood Bridge Farm, Irish Whisper, Zanzabeez, Enchanted Hill, PromisedLand, J-NELS, Caprine Acres, Gypsy Moon, Sugar Moon, Pecan Hallow, and more. We aim to produce a strong dairy goat with good, functional structure. We plan to do it again in 2024 as well as begin milk testing. In 20 we have done linear appraisal through ADGA. Our herd tested clean for CAE, CL, and Johnes in June 2021 through WADDL. Moon Boots' Sire, Caprine Acres HS Cooper, is out of a doe scoring EEEE 92 05-04 and a buck scoring EEE 91 03-03.We strive to breed top quality ADGA Nigerian Dwarf goats. His dam, CH CRF Castle Rock Moon River 3*D +EEE 88, is a third generation milk star recipient who has produced two Superior Genetics Champion daughters, SGCH River of Rain 1*M VVEE 90 03-03 and SGCH Moon Beam EEEE 92 05-00 and their full brother, Castle Rock Moonraker, as well as Castle Rock Moonshine, who scored VEEE 91 04-02. Stout's sire, Moon Boots, comes from a line of impressive animals as well. She has not only earned her Superior Genetics designation, but was #9 on the ADGA 2016 Performance Breed Leaders (Top Ten) list for protein, and was only 40 lbs shy of tenth place for production, having milked 1210 lbs in 305 days as a second freshener! Her sire, Castle Rock Cleveland Sage +*B, was on the Elite Sire list in 20. His dam is the complete package - a doe who has excelled in the show ring (1 Best Jr Doe in Show, 2 Grand Champion wins, 6th place yearling milker at the 2015 ADGA National Show, etc), at LA (VEEE 90 03-03), and in the milk pail. Stout's genetics are an exciting addition to the herd.
