2010 Kids are here!
Another fantastic
kidding season!
Our American Purebred(AP) and
percentage does bred
to a 100% AP Kiko buck
have proven to be a good
choice producing
exceptionally hardy kids
at birth.
Routinely twins are born
beginning in late Fall
through the Winter at
all times of the day and
in varying temperatures
rarely presenting
problems.
Averaging
6-8 lbs each, they're
off to a good start.
Occasionally we will
selectively stock a few
purebred Boer to produce
an American BoKi (50%
Boer/ 50%Kiko)
registered through the
IKGA as a cross breed
taking
advantage of the
positive traits of both
these fantastic breeds.
December 2008 marked the
launch of our USDA
inspected goat meat
sales program. Our
product carries
this label and is
flash frozen and vacuum
packed at a local
processor.
The Meat's in
Freezer!
We cashed in several of
our yearlings bucks we
were growing out for
slaughter Some
were sold as whole
carcass' for BBQ's and
others packaged as
special cuts for smaller
quantity purchases.
The demand exceeds the
supply right (how we
like it).
Providing THE goat
everyone wants when they
call has been difficult
since the Fall.
What Recession?!?!
All of our packaged
product is less than 1
year old, raised on
grass and forage during
the growing season.
Round bales of Oats hay
in the winter is used as
a supplement when forage
is sparse.
Goat skin leather and
hides are available as a
special order item.
Please contact us
immediately if you
are interested in these
products
so we can be sure to
meet your timing
requirements.

Packaged meat sales are
strong in addition to
live goat prices at the
local livestock auction.

observed at the recent
Memorial Day sale, with
just 3 commercial buyers
on hand at the sale.
The demand for locally
grown, natural, pasture
raised product is
catching on despite
tough economic times.
