We have had some pretty bad experiences along the way.  In 2000 we were expecting our first kid crop from our herd of fourteen does.  We lost all our babies and two of our does. We consulted our vet, who at the time had very little knowledge about goats, (with the problems we have encountered along the way, our vet became educated very quickly). Even after autopsies, no one could tell us what went wrong. We picked our selves up and started over again.   But from 2000 to present we are much better at what we do and our quality of goats is much better. We have learned what to look for in a goat. This is something that took some doing. Every goat person you talk to does something a little different or has a different type of goat. We were beside ourselves, until we realized we had to do what worked best for us;  We did some soul searching and asked ourselves what type of goat would we benefit from, how many goats could we physically and financially handle? Our first step was to strive to improve our genetics. We researched the popular goats at the time. Chose what bloodline we felt we could benefit from and was in our price budget. We went from our original herd of 14 (minus the ones we lost) and jumped in both feet and increased our herd to 40 does and a buck, overnight I think. I will have to admit, we were duped by some of the goat producers out there. We ended up with some fish teat problems, does that produced little milk and does that would not settle and produce babies.  We overcame this problem by learning the different nutritional requirements for does verses bucks and was able to breed out the teat problems in our offspring. I am happy to say at present we are running 150 plus head, and we do not have any teat problems in our herd.

Our show career started in the winter of 2004. We loaded up three does and headed to Ruston, Louisiana for our first show. It was an all day drive for us. We placed with two of our does, taking a Grand and a Reserve Champion. The next month we went to Alexandria, Tennessee to a show. We placed well at that show and received a Reserve Champion. We were hooked. We spent much of our weekends in 2005 on the road to a show.  Our doe received a few more Reserve Champions and one credited Grand Champion win. We remained in the top five of every class we participated in. We enjoyed the shows and meeting all the goat people, but the travel was putting a strain on us and our goats.  In 2005 we decided to host a goat show. We held our show in Piggott, Arkansas with the show being sanctioned by the USBGA.  It was a lot of work  preparing for the show, the incoming exhibitors and being up to speed on all those show rules, but we enjoyed it so much that we continue to produce shows.

  We have so many people to thank for helping us with our goat adventures.

 The Chambers: on a visit to their farm our daughter played with their new born dairy goats, one goat reached up and sucked our daughters finger, there was no way to leave that day without carrying one of those darling babies and a bottle home with us. Miss Priss is still part of our family today.

 The Thigpens: helping us get started in the shows, allowing us to use their great genetics of the Elite Ennobled Rambo and Ennobled Zeus. The special friendship we have formed.

Our Customers: you have allowed us to be introduced to some really special people over the years, with many of them becoming close friends.

And our Goats: what an interesting animal. They have taught our whole family so much. To sit outside in the evening and watch the goats browse and the babies play... and to realize, we're working...this is our job. We also remember the ones we have lost either to our ignorance as we learned  and to the ones we just didn't know what the problem was....But foremost

 we give praise and thanks to our Maker. God has been so good to our family and our business. With out Him none of it would be possible.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR VISIT AT OUR WEB SITE AND WITH OUR GOATS
