Our Guernseys
We raise registered British and American Guernsey goats, a rare, British breed. We love their quiet, docile temperment, medium size build, and sweet, rich milk. They are hardy and do well in our Maine climate!
Our goats are raised with regular herbal supplements to encourage their strong immune systems, parasite resistance, easy kidding, milk production and hardy kids. They also receive additional supplemental Copper and Selenium due to our area's deficiency and an annual CD-T vaccine to protect against tetanus. The herd is rotated through out 8+ acres of pasture during the growing season, and we are fencing in more pasture each season! This keeps parasite problems to a minimum as well as allows healthy growth for our pastures.
Our herd is sample tested yearly for CL, CAE and Johne's; we only purchase from tested herds.
**October 2021 our entire herd of goats tested NEGATIVE for CL, CAE, and Johne's.**
We have 2 does registered with the Guernsey Goat Breeders of America, as American Guernseys. Our 2 bucks and our other 4 does are registered in both the GGBoA and the British Goat Society. We have 4 "lines" represented in our herd to help keep genetic diversity; Stumphollo, GGA Ardelia, Treasured Sunrise, and VIIAcreWood.
A quick introduction to our herd: Stumphollo Jeroboam "Bo" is our Herd Sire and VIIAcreWood Magic "Rudy" is Jr. Herd Sire.
Our leading ladies are: GGA Ardelia Delta, Stumphollo Debutante "Deb", GGA Ardelia Olive, Treasured Rosegold "Ivy", Treasured Shimmer "Ruth", and LDFarms Heidi.
We are members of the American Dairy Goat Association, Guernsey Goat Breeders of America and the British Goat Society. For more information on this rare, sweet breed visit GGBoA at: guernseygoats.org/
