We appreciate your interest
in our herd. We are located on 15 acres in northeast Kansas about
half way between Topeka and Lawrence just off Kansas Turnpike
exit 197. We are about 45 minutes driving time west of downtown
Kansas City and the Kansas City International Airport.
Over the years we have carefully
selected our breeding stock from proven Nubian herds. We are using
bucks from selected bloodlines that produce strength, size, milk
and the ability to show well. Our herd was featured in the Lawrence
Journal World Sunday, March 13, 1993 & again April 27, 2001,
page 2B, in the February 1997 issue of The Goat Magazine, Farm
Talk in July of 1999, article by Jennifer Stultz page 17, June/July
issue of Dairy Goat Journal and article by Harvey Considine pp.
12-13, December issue of Dairy Goat Journal.

Preventive medicine is emphasized.
All our breeding-age stock including bucks is blood tested annually
for Brucellosis, TB, and CAE. This is our 16th consecutive
year to be certified, accredited and CAE Free. We deworm regularly
while rotating wormers. G-6-S NORMAL HERD --- During the year
2000 - 2001 our entire herd was DNA Tested G-6-S Normal.
Our milkers are fed a 16%
grain ration and a very high-quality alfalfa hay supplemented
with Brome. The herd is fed free choice goat mineral and iodized
salt. Our Nubians have constant access to fresh water through
our thermostat-controlled automatic water system in each pen.
We sell milk off the farm pursuant to the Kansas Raw Milk Statute.
Our new dairy barn is under
construction and is being built to Grade-A standards. We try to
attend 5 to ten ADGA shows each year. We are breeding, milking
and showing the kind of Nubians we like, we hope you like them
too.
