Herd Reduction and Kidding Soon

I have some potentially wonderfully spotty, polled and SUPeR MiLKy kids coming in June.

Also I am selling at least 3 Milkers. I am milking sheep too these days so need to downsize.

Goat Milk Properties

Are you interested in goats for their milk? That's the reason I started, and although I thought the health claims a little nuts, the facts are two of my children with severe asthma and allergies were in fact healed after 3 months f raw goat milk. They were able to throw out all their medications and discontinue their quarterly appointments with the pulmonologist. My daughter was able to quit her twice weekly allergy shots. No lie.

I read a great list of health benefits here
