Our current breeding philosophy "you can't milk ears":
We are currently running three seperate herds, a La Mancha herd, a Nubian herd, and an Experimental herd. They all offer a unique challenge and I intend to maintain each herd in equal measures. We are striving to bring in the best bloodlines available to improve all aspects of each herd. Combining two breeds gives the advantage of hybrid vigor, which offers greater growth rates, heavier bone, and general good health. While some people turn up their noses on my "mutts" I know that they have their own benefits, and, as many knowlegdeable breeders have said "you can't milk ears!" whether they be barely there, long past the nose, or somewhere in between. Reserve your future producers today!
A little bit about KS Acres:
My very first goat was a purebred La Mancha doe given to me for my tenth birthday by my beloved babysitter/mentor/polka dot mom Donna Gaby. Being before I even knew goats were supposed to have papers, she was never registered and a few years later when I entered 4-H we got her recorded as a Native on Appearance, which is slightly sad seeing as her mother was from a competitive show herd in our area. In the fall of 97 my father purchased my first purebred Nubian doe Dusty-Lane's Catherine (this time WITH papers) and Circle K Acres was born. I continued with these goats until I graduated in the spring of 2002. Dove (the LaMancha) died in the spring of 2003 of pregnancy ketosis, and I sold all the Nubians. Scott and I married in the fall of 2005 and in the fall of 2006 I saw a picture online of a white La Mancha doeling (Double Z Rockys Ima Dove Two) that was the spitting image of my Dovey when she was a junior doe, and knew it was time to get back on the horse. We purchased several animals from Christina Krantz and then from Cindy Hamilton, but had a few setbacks with illness and a major dog attack, but we've quickly built up a herd with animals from here and there. We are mainly focused on La Manchas, but we keep a few Nubians to add variety and keep us on our toes, along with one Saanan courtesy of Gaby Homestead Farms. When I rejoined ADGA I changed my herdname because I had always thought Circle K Acres was too long. And now here we are!
