I want to thank all of you who have supported us,uplifted and cried with us. The journey has been long and not always pleasant. I have aged into place and felt my health rapidly speak to me as if for the first time I need to listen. It is not easy to change up quit and take it in rear the investment and hard work into breeding seed stock . It’s not for everyone. Instead of getting rid of what I have vested the past 13 yrs into. I’m am trying something different for our farm. I always felt if you have some thing worthy of registration you have something worthy of the breed. I know that it’s important to have that quality for seed stock and commercial market since a Healthy specimen and correctly conformed to breed standards or exceeding the standards makes a difference in both markets. I have spent 13 yrs of learning growing and we don’t always get it right. The goat part I got the marketing just never did. Hands on people don’t have the luxury of the traveling entry fees. Buck tests and so on. I have been hard deep with no farms hands outside of my daughter who hates goats or farming for that matter. I can’t see taking the loss of investment at this point so we are going into the commercial market farm to processor. We have the quality to be consistently producing worthy stock . It leaves it open to the buyer to reg and leaves the expense of dna reg and all the rest that goes along with it. Breed, care for, cull wean and let go. In Nine months will be our first time to try this and hope it’s the right direction for the goat market. We hope to kid about 60 to 90 of Spanish Kensing and NZ Kikos.
Wish us luck and if you can offer an advice or contacts of direct processors please reach out.
God bless you all and god bless America
