Homestead style environment with a closed herd.  We don’t buy from auctions. We don’t line breed our goats.  Large size Milk goats for a purpose of productivity.  Sales are limited edition goats, yearly offer goats worthy of showing, milking and size large. Offspring are nursed in shared milking programs with the does.  We may bottle feed occasionally, but not with cow milk, natural raw milk from the does are fed to the kids. We have found successes of immunity systems to be very strong from Mama milk rather then replacements or other forms of milk provisions.
