Available animals
Milking Does
Our dairy does are trained to milk by both hand and machine.
Megara
Silent Spring MS Megara
5yo alpine/oberhasli cross, 4 freshenings. Lovely mammary texture with super easy to milk teats. Shy - she was dam-raised - but loves routine and goes straight to the milk stand. Has been an easy keeper and solid producer (8+lb/d or so, best estimate). Somewhat uneven udder in 2025.
Morning
Storm Dancer GreySkyMorning
3yo American alpine with a phenomenal topline but just not the strength of mammary that I really need. She took BJDIS as a junior kid over 300+ other does, so she's got a lot to work with! But with more keeper alpine kids than I expected this year, she's on the cut list.
Dry Does / Yearlings
Dry yearlings, and/or yearlings who freshened (...not with our permission or planning) who we dried off immediately.
Oricorio
Storm Dancer Val Oricorio
Oricorio is bright, fun, and cute - but just one of MANY wonderful oberhasli yearlings we have in 2025. She freshened in early March but was dried off immediately.
Dairy Doelings
As we continue to improve our herd, more and more doelings each year will be show-quality and we will prefer show and performance homes. But we usually have some that we consider to be solid homestead animals as well. Our bottle kids are raised on CAE prevention and coccidia prevention, and are generally free-fed (lambar trained) after about a week of age.
Show-Quality Doelings
Registered doelings come with papers in hand or an application, depending on age. We don't take formal reservations but do track interest and will reach out when animals are available. We show locally and regionally with some success, and have been attending nationals fairly regularly since 2021.
Homestead Doelings
For buyers with no intention of showing or needing registered animals, we may sell some doelings either unregistered or without papers for a slightly reduced price.
Bucks & Bucklings
Any mature bucks we're ready to trade out for new genetics, or bottle bucks available during kidding season.
Bulk Dairy Bucklings
We like moving dairy bucklings ASAP after birth and are ready to make a deal! They will receive colostrum (either maternal or powdered) for the first day and will be started on Caprine-style nipples. Disbudding may be available for an extra fee.
We would love to work out an arrangement with someone to come pick up any and all boys each spring - please reach out!
Our heaviest kidding period is in Feb each year, but in 2025 we will have some does kidding in April-May.
Prospect Bucklings
We generally decide ahead of time whether we would consider keeping any bucklings out of a given breeding, based on the show and milking performance of the dam and performance of the sire's relatives, especially daughters. Please reach out if there is a breeding you are interested in.
Bucklings will come registered and DNA typed.
One eligible toggenburg breeding left for 2025
Other Animals
Anything else! Might be sheep, butcher/market animals, equines, or cattle.
Kiko-cross family
2yo kiko/oberhasli doe "Hazelnut" and her buck/doe twins out of a kiko-boer buck. Kids born late Feb.
Strawberry
Casually looking for a good home for my sassy girl Strawberry. She's a mid-to-late-teens appy mare, around 15.2hh. Been out of a job for awhile and could use some work, but she's done feedlot work, 4-H contests, and more in the past. She's just more horse than I really am equipped to deal with, and I'd rather spend time with my less moody gelding. Currently barefoot.
Dorothy
We acquired Dorothy after she was running loose in KC over the winter. We know nothing more about her! Farrier estimates her at mid to late 20s. Has serious lordosis but moves well. Has some fun buttons and is broke to ride, but obviously has limitations on what she can do. She's sweet - very sweet - and enjoys human interaction; thus I'm casually looking for somewhere where she can get that more regularly.
