Our ranch is situated on 20 acres in Madera County, the heart of California.
All of the does and kids have access to the barn as well as 5-acre pastures to exercise in. The pastures are a mix of Australian Clover, trefoil and Bermuda.
High Quality alfalfa and a 16% custom grain ration are purchased during the lactation season. During the winter months, the goats are fed a grassy/alfalfa along with a mix of Oats, Honor Goat and livestock yeast.
Baking soda, Kelp and cobalt blocks are available to the goats, along with a 20% goat block alternating with an Equine Hay and Pasture supplement block, for increased levels of zinc.
Although the does are CAE-negative, we test thru WSU/WAADL. Our kids are raised on heat-treated goat colostrum and pasteurized goat milk from birth and we follow rigorous CAE prevention procedures. In addition, we are enrolled in the Scrapie Flock Certification program. The does participate in the Linear Appraisal program and entered into DHIR in 2006.
All goats are de-wormed on a routine basis, alternating with: Valbazen, Ivomec, Safequard and a variety of Natural de-wormers.
