* To provide for my home milk supply and milk for use in making cheese, butter, ice cream and goat milk soap.
* To provide the highest quality raw milk for on farm milk sales as permitted by the state of Arkansas.
* To produce goat milk soap, also sold by this farm.
* Sale of registered breeding stock.
* The health of each individual in the herd is very important to me. Diseases such as CAE and CL have never been diagnosed in any goat on this farm, and any suspicious symptoms have been checked out by my vet and blood samples tested promptly, fortunately with consistently negative results.
* All kids are raised on strict CAE prevention just in case this virus tries to sneak in.
* I maintain a closed herd with the exception of occasional bottle kids brought in and raised in separate kid pens until breeding age.
* Another health concern targeting Nubian goats is the genetic defect G-6-S. I had this manifest in a young buck one time and since then all my goats have been tested normal, or traced back to tested ansestors who are normal for that trait.
