Welcome. We are a small family farm located in the Brazos Valley of central Texas, raising Nubian dairy goats & Muscovy ducks.
I am working towards building a small herd of beautiful, hardy & productive animals--focusing on breed character, disposition and milk. I am an ADGA plus member and as such, we participate in linear appraisal and DHIR.
All births are attended and kids are raised on heat-treated goat colostrum and pasteurized goat milk. Kids are regularly de-wormed and kept on a coccidia prevention program until well grown.
Goats are turned out to browse daily and are also fed free-choice Coastal Bermuda or Sudan hay raised locally and supplemented with a mix of whole grains and Alfalfa. BoSe, Copper bolusing and de-worming are done as needed. De-worming is based on regular fecals and FAMCHA. Baking soda is provided free choice as is a loose mineral (Bluebonnet Tech-Master Complete/Cargill Right Now Onyx/Duraferm Goat Concept-AID)
The whole herd is annually tested for CAE and remains negative to date. My herd has always been & continues to be CL abscess free., and all Nubians are G-6-S normal by either parentage or testing. Working on DNA verification on all breeding animals, but this will probably take a few years to catch up on completely. Texas is a Tuberculosis and Brucellosis free state per the USDA.
I hope you enjoy browsing thru my website. If you have any questions just call or e-mail and I'd be happy to chat with you.
