Kids
Kidding season is always a special time on the farm, one met with great anticipation. From
day one, we form a special bond with each of our kids. We start by trying to be in
attendance at each birth. This is not always an easy feat, but one that has many rewards.
This practice helps to save lives, by being there to assist if there are any problems with a
dam or kid during or after labor.
We love our goats and enjoy sharing in this wonderful event. I never get tired of the
miracle of birth. It is amazing thing to watch and I don't want to miss a single kid being
born. I help dry off the kids and make sure they nurse okay. By having human contact so
early and reinforced daily, we continue to produce friendly and manageable goats. Our
kids are not usually bottle fed, instead we believe in "Raising Nubians the Natural Way."
Our does produce triplets and quads quite often. I always make sure that all the kids
have all the milk they need to get the best start in life possible. This is one of the times
that I do bottle feed my kids with fresh goats milk. My kids only get milk, hay and pasture
until I start to wean them. At this time I introduce sweet feed to their diet.
Our goats are CAE negative, therefore we allow them to nurse directly on their dams, the
way Mother Nature intended. For safety reasons, all of our kids are disbudded; unless the
future owner has requested us not to, in advance. If a buckling does not meet our
standards for a quality herd sire, he will be neutered and sold strictly as a pet wether,
once he is at least 2 months old. Before leaving our farm, all kids are registered with the
ADGA and tattooed in their right and left ears for identification; this is in accordance with
the Kentucky state Scrapie ID program, effective July 1, 2006.
The kids' pages are organized by kidding season. If you are looking to buy a kid, please
see our Current Kidding Season. If you are interested in reserving a future kid (or just
want to look at more goat pictures), you might find our Previous Kidding Seasons helpful.
There you can see what our goats have produced in the past, to help you make a
decision. To reserve a future kid, please see our Breeding & Kidding Schedule.
