Breeding plans
We offer only a select few papered bucks each year out of does we feel confident will pass on the best milk and conformation genetics. We do offer up grade bucks who would serve as awesome herd sires for home milk or commercial dairy situations, all others are castrated at around 12 weeks of age or sold for meat. For best prices and choice, please reserve early!
- We host Linear Appraisal some years and if you’re interested in attending for educational purposes or are wanting to appraise your animals, please contact us, we’re happy to have you join our herd stop (you must provide your own pens, your animals must stand tied or animals must stay in your trailer). We do have lots of shade trees in which to set up your pen(s) and park your trailer. Overnight stays are not available.
We maintain a CAE & CL free herd.
Breeding opportunities/4-H’ers
- We offer discounted breeding opportunities for 4H’ers. Any doe brought to the farm for servicing must have a recent CAE (negative) test result on file with paperwork to prove their status. We do not allow bucks to leave the farm for outside servicing.
Breeding opportunities are available to a purebred papered buck (service forms available for ADGA registration). Price varies from $65 to 75 per doe. Does MUST be CAE tested negative with recent results and be in good overall body condition. We reserve the right to refuse breeding to does knowingly coming from a CAE/CL positive farm or a suspected positive farm. ALL does will be inspected before access, limited space is available for extended stays and boarding fees at a rate of $3.50 per doe per day apply. It is highly recommended you bring your doe in a good standing heat for breeding. Please contact your vet for information on how to time this. Our bucks are not leased out and are not available to leave our property due to bio-security concerns to breed outside does.
