The latest as K*S:

We have completely revamped both our La Mancha and Nubian herds.  After spending a few years with animals of various backgrounds, we have sold nearly all of our original stock and are starting over with more closely bred animals that are more in line with our ideals.  While our original animals were nice and milked very well, they were not quite in keeping with our goals as far as body style and udder attachment.  Nearly all of our remaining animals are in some way related, and our inbreeding coefficients are a bit higher than they have been in the past.  We feel this is important in maintaining the type of animal we appreciate, particularly with the Nubians, as the gene pools are so incredibly large.  I have to give a big thank-you to Marilou Webb (South-Fork La Manchas www.southforklamanchas.com ) for all her help and support in getting my La Mancha herd back in order, and also to Susan and Delaney Schmer (Whimsical Kids Nubians www.whimsicalkidsnubians.com ) for breeding the lovely animals that are now the foundation of K*S Dairy Goats. 

A little bit about our beginnings at K*S:

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 spring 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 and actively breed goats again.  We purchased several animals, 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 equally focused on La Manchas and Nubians-don't ask us to choose!  When I rejoined ADGA I changed my herdname because I had always thought Circle K Acres was too long.  And now here we are!
