Profile

We strive to raise healthy, functional, structurally correct Boer goats (and a few crosses)! Our herd is mostly ABGA Fullblood.

We raise the herd with almost all-natural methods. We do give the CDT vaccine as we’ve had issues with entero, in the past. More details on our management style on our website.

Farm Management

There's lots more info on our management page on the website, but we herbally deworm (sometimes adding essential oils). We use a non GMO grain and no-spray hay.

Herbal (1)-Conventional (10) 1-10 Scale: 8

Parasite Protocol:
We started herbal deworming not long after we bought our first set of goats in 2012. We started with Molly's Herbals dewormer, but we now use Kristie Miller's Land of Havilah Parasite Formula. We couldn't be happier with the quality and formula of her blend! We used to drench each goat individually, but that got tedious as our herd size grew. In 2016 I decided to try making a tea (that I add to their water buckets) out of the herbal blend instead of drenching each goat individually. It has been a effective, time-saving move for us! We deworm on an 'as needed' basis.
