Fall 2022 Breeding Schedule

Fall, 2022 Breeding Schedule

This is our first year of controlled breeding.  Since we started last year with two does, one being pregnant when purchased, and doubled our herd size (of two) to four last September, then purchased a registered buck and three does, and had a prolific Spring kidding season – we went from 4, to 8 to 20 by the end of April 2022 – can you say Goat Math? We did purchase our boy Finan from a good breeder, and are looking forward to adding his genetics to our herd. Below, I’ll post who we plan to breed to whom, and what bloodlines we have. Some of our does are ADGA Registered, and some aren’t. Please contact us if you have any questions, or are interested in reserving a Spring 2023 Kid, please  Contact Us.
