I once thought that I was a horse lover and nothing else, as a child I dreamed only of horses, played only with horses and went through college just so I could have a good enough job to afford horses.  Along with my first horse I purchased a goat, only because my parents had them when I was little.  I was hoping to breed her and have milk for our house.  Abby (a.k.a. Abby Normal, remember "Young Frankenstein"?) had a pretty bad case of CAE, so we never bred her and my disappointment was acute.   We kept Abby until she died at 8 years old.  That's when I swore off goats "Never Again!" I said, until I saw a TV program that had goats.  The next day I went out and purchased two more.  I couldn't stay away from them even if I tried.   They have such endearing personalities and are so loving, curious and gentle.

I currently have several mature beautiful Alpine does.  I started my herd with GCH Hoanbu lines, plus a dabble of Pearl Valley and Waiilapu, from this I am breeding for both milk production and show.  2003 was my first real show season and we didn't do too bad!  Several 1st places, Grand Champions, Reserve Champions and a Best of Breed! 2004 proved to be a good year for my bucks!  They have both have earned a BOB and Reserve Champion respectively.  2005 proved even better with both my dry yearlings earning a CH leg.  2006, What fun!  I finished my first home bred Champion, Clairese as a two year old and she received her milk star too!  Seau a Lait Lady Jane LA'd Excellent as a kid and earned her dry leg as well!    All of my Alpines have been tested for CAE and TB and are negative - 8/03, and tested CAE negative again in 5/04, 12/04, 1/06, 1/07, 7/08!!  This is the 5th consecutive year I've tested and all are still testing negative! 

The current breeding plan is lised on on the   FOR SALE  page.   I have some exciting breedings planned!  I'll only be keeping a coulple of doe kids, so make a reservation now to get the doeling of your choice!!
