Thanks for visiting our web site. Please
feel free to
contact
us if you have any questions about our
goats. Some of the does pictured have 12 hours of milk, or less, in
the pictures that were taken at home. We are not great at taking
pictures, and if they don’t go to a show, they are not always
clipped.
Our herd name came from the hill we
reside on, Addisonian Hill, which is just outside of Ashland, a small north
central Ohio town.
We started with dairy
goats in 1984, purchasing two Grade Toggenburgs. In 1985, we
purchased a French Alpine doe, and we have continued with them
since. All of the does in our herd can be traced back to this
original Alpine doe. We are life members of ADGA. In 2019 we
received a certificate of recognition from the state of Ohio for
our 35th anniversary of breeding dairy goats. We strive to breed a
structurally correct alpine The herd was appraised in
2022.
In the summer of 2019, we were able to
attend 5 shows. Three of our does finished their championships
and CH Sydnee had two Best
Doe In Show wins. Three more of our does were awarded superior
genetics in 2019. No shows were attended in 2020 due to none
being held in Ohio. We made it to two shows in 2021, with
Lotus finishing her
championship. SGCH Lotus
was awarded Elite doe status for her milk production in 2020 and
2021. Linnet’s son Loois was
named to the Young Sire Development list for 2020.
Our herd is CAE
negative, CL free and very healthy. We vaccinate with CD&T and
BO-SE. We use chemical wormer as needed along with an herbal
wormer. They are offered kelp, sodium bicarb and goat minerals
free choice. We feed 17% commercial goat feed and high quality
alfalfa/alfalfa mixed hay. Our herd always has access to
pasture.
The kids are removed
at birth and are hand raised on heat treated colostrum or
replacement colostrum and pasteurized milk. All kids receive
their vaccinations on a schedule and are disbudded at an early
age.
Prices are for
pre-ordered kids and a $100 deposit will hold the kid of your
choice. Kids will need to be picked up at three to four weeks of
age. If the kid you select is not born, your deposit will be
promptly refunded or you may select another kid. If the buyer
decides to cancel the ordered kid, the money will not be
refunded. We do reserve the right to retain kids of our
choosing. Kids can be shipped out of Cleveland, OH, with buyer
paying all expenses involved.
We do sell several
milking does a year, after they are fresh and we can evaluate
them. So contact us in early
spring to reserve milking does. Mature bucks are some times
offered for sale also.
Our thanks to all who
purchased stock from us in 2022.
Thanks for looking at our herd!
