Hello and welcome to our website! We have been raising purebred Nubians and Lamanchas (in 2008) since 1999. We are located in Palo Cedro CA. It is a small town located right outside of Redding, CA. Like the stories of many, our adventure with goats began as a 4-H project.

    We breed for a dairy goat that is strong in general appearance being long and level over the topline, and strong on their feet and legs. We want to see strong mammary systems as well as consistent mammary systems that are high and wide in the rear and well attached with strong smooth fore udders. Although our does are not on DHIR test, we do expect our does to milk well, and have the longevity to produce milk and kids for many years. We also want to see that beautiful Nubian breed character about the head.  We cull heavily believing in quality, not quantity. It is important to us that only do our does excel in all areas, (showring, appraisal, and milk production) but their offspring do as well. We like does who can consistently produce offspring as good as themselves or better. In saying this, we do believe strongly in being very selective in which bucklings are offered for sale. Only bucks from does that we feel have proven themselves in all areas will be offered for sale.

    Herd health is very important to us! We feed only the highest quality alfalfa we can find as well as oat hay and grass hay. Milking does are given a 16% dairy ration. Kids are raised on a CAE prevention program, being started with heat-treated colostrum and then raised on pasteurized milk. Kids are raised away from the adult goats and are not weaned till about four months of age. All animals are given BoSe and CD-T shots twice a year and wormed twice a year, in the Fall and Spring. Free choice minerals and baking soda are available at all times. Our animals are tested every year for CAE and CL, and our entire herd is negative.

    Sale Policy: We like to keep a small herd so a lot of doelings will be for sale as well as some first fresheners. If you are interested in a first freshener, please let us know and we will put you on a waitlist. We require a $50 deposit to reserve a kid with the rest of the payment due within 2 weeks after the kids arrival. We would like you to pick a first choice kid as well as a second choice with the possibility of your first choice not being born or not meeting our high standards. We will refund any orders that we cannot fill. However we will not refund any deposits on orders that are cancelled. We reserve the right to retain any kid for herd replacement. Buyers are responsible for health papers, crate, costs to transport to Sacramento Airport. We prefer that you come pick up the kid in person so you can see the relatives, but we realize that is not always possible.

We would like to thank everyone that has added a Pella's Triple C bred buck or doe to your herd!

 

We hope you enjoy browsing the pages! If you have any questions about any of our animals please feel to e-mail us. We love to talk goats!

Best Regards
