Excellent goat kids from some of the best commercial dairy genetics in New England including Twig Farm, Lazy Lady Farm, Tempo Passa, Mark Hostetler (Bethel), Roeburn, and Redwood Hills. This year we have Alpines and Crosses of Alpine Does with a Saanen Sire from genetic lines averaging over 4,000 pounds of milk per season. The crosses are very hardy, and grow fast. Our herd is on monthly dairy testing and we select for Does that consistently produce higher than average protein % milk. We graze our Does on pasture during the growing season, so these genetics do well on perennial pasture forage, and are selected for producing high quality cheese making milk while on pasture.Prices:
