Our 2006 Saanen Dairy Herd

Saanens

Our Saanen ventures started in December 1999 when we were given a Saanen doe and her dry yearling daughter, (still on her mother) by some old church friends. The mother, Christy, decided that she wanted to be the dominant doe and would not stop fighting with our boss alpine. Not to mention the fact that the dry yearling was completely wild and always hiding behind her mother... In order to fix a few problems, we sold Christy so some friends of ours who also were just getting into goats, which eliminated the dominance problem and helped to tame the dry yearling all at once. That dry yearling was GCH The N'Chanted Victoria *M, my first showmanship doe, and herd favorite. She has been an excellent milker and brood doe and we feel extremely blessed to have her as a foundation doe!
We have added a lot to our Saanen herd in the last few years, and though most of the does do not have our herd name on them, we are extremely excited to have them on our farm, and to be able to incorporate them into my breeding program! There are so many to thank for helping us attain such a beautiful herd, but the list would be far too long. So, I think I can just say 'you all know who you are!' :-) Thank You, and may God bless!
