Our dairy does are trained to milk by both hand and machine.
Dry yearlings, and/or yearlings who freshened (...not with our permission or planning) who we dried off immediately.
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.
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.
As of late April 2025, we have two lamancha/ober cross doelings available, born mid-March.
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.

Moving along one of twin doelings - both showing length and dairyness with what looks to be more substance of bone than their dam, Hailey.

I wouldn't be sad if she stayed - only the second time our foundation alpine doe gave us a daughter, and we got twins! Finally has the length and levelness so typical of the Maple Wind Charming Fanfare line. A refined doe we expect will be a bit slow to mature.
This was a repeat breeding (see Storm Dancer FA Maya & Amara) and I was lucky to get another set of twin does - I want to keep them all but can't! The dam and the sisters are full and deep with round, well-attached mammaries.
We had some cases of 'who's your daddy?' this spring, and she's one of them. Take her as is (unregistered or sire unknown) for $200. Take her now but I'll submit hair for DNA typing, for $250. I do plan on testing if she doesn't leave first. If the planned sire is the actual sire, $350. If the unplanned sire is, $300.
Any mature bucks we're ready to trade out for new genetics, or bottle bucks available during kidding season.
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!
Done for 2025~
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
Anything else! Might be sheep, butcher/market animals, equines, or cattle.
2yo kiko/oberhasli doe "Hazelnut" and her buck/doe twins out of a kiko-boer buck. Kids born late Feb.
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.
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.
