Herd:
My herd consists of twenty-one Nubian and Saanen cross does and
doelings. My older does are Saanen and the doelings are all
Nubian cross. I have two Nubian bucks and am looking to add a
registered Nubian Buck to bring conformity to the herd.

Farm/Facility:
The farm is situated in the Shell River Valley and provides
ample hillside grazing. An alfalfa mix pasture is used for
producing hay for overwintering. The herd is currently kept in
an old insulated dairy barn and graze behind a portable electric
fence in summer.
|
| Management: The goats are fed on a ration of hay and grain overwinter. They
have access to minerals, salt and water at all times. When available
fruits and vegetables are added to their diet. In summer they
rotationally graze on native pasture and their diet is supplemented
with grain and hay. I keep records of births, medicines used and any
movements of goats on/off the farm. I also have a herd record
book. All of these assist me when making decisions about any animal
in the herd.

|
Herd Health:
Health checks are made daily to see if the goats are off feed
etc. They are currently de-wormed every three months with
Safeguard, however I have found Valbazen to be more effective. If any health problems do arise they are treated in the appropriate
way.

|
Marketing:
I market my wethers and bucklings and any cull does/bucks are
Heartland Livestock in Yorkton when they are around 90lbs. I
have also had interest from people about privately purchasing some doelings and have also had requests for chevon. |
