Welcome to CartAngel Acres!

Kidding February through June 2008

Colorful kids and the larger myotonics usually sell first, so contact us soon in case we have what you are looking for!

Here are a few past examples of our Myotonic kids.

We are a small, family run farm focused on the production of fullblood Myotonic goats, TexMasters™ and Commercial Myotonic percentages for both breeding and commercial production. Our goal is to produce medium-large sized, heavily muscled Myotonics to serve as the basis in cross-breeding for the production of prime quality goat meat with minimal input from the producer. Our Myotonics are bred to the Myotonic standard, make wonderful pets, and are selected, as are all of our goats, for hardiness in pasture conditions and production!

As we expanded our herd and added other livestock we discovered a need for a do-it-all type farm dog (in addition to our Livestock Guardian Dogs) which led us to the English Shepherd and Farmcollie. My first love has always been the Rough Collie, at least one of which I have never been without since childhood. However, much of the working instinct in today's Collie has been diluted as breeders strive for perfect conformation and beauty (and I include myself here!). This led to my search for the original, old-fashioned WORKING collie. We now support the AWFA (American Working Farmcollie Association) and their goals for promoting all Collies and Collie types based on working abilities (not physical appearances). Dogs are evaluated in three critical areas and may be permanently registered with AWFA if they display strength in two or more of these abilities which are needed in a good, all-round, working farm dog: Herding (includes catching and or moving stock); Guarding; and Hunting. All of our dogs and puppies will be evaluated for these three critical instincts.

For more information on Farmcollies and English Shepherds and some of their uncanny abilities, visit The American Working FarmCollie and http://www.englishshepherd.org/.

Registrations: Our dogs are certified for working abilities through AWFA.
The majority of our Myotonics, Tennessee Meat Goats™, and TexMasters™ are registered through Pedigree International . Our fullblood Myotonics may also be double or triple registered through IFGA and MGR.

Shipping: For long-distance hauling, overland transport is offered by livestock hauler Ron Keener of Austin, Texas. Ron makes multiple cross-country trips throughout the year and may be contacted at Ron@MidAmericaBreedingTech.com for information on his pricing and trip scheduling.

Location: We are 2 miles east of De Queen, just off of US 70-71 in Southwest Arkansas. De Queen is about 1 hour north of Texarkana and 20 minutes from the Oklahoma border.

Come on in and look around. If you like what you see, farm visits can be arranged. Just drop us a line and we'll set up a convenient time for your visit.
