Saanen Does

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!

8/22/2007: NEW PHOTOS ARE UP! So sorry to all of you for not keeping the website up to date this summer. We've had a very busy year with many different things. We attended very few shows but were pleased with how our does placed at those shows. At the Ohio State Fair Our girls brought home Grand Champion LaMancha, Grand Champion Saanen, Grand and Reserve Junior Champion Saanens as well as many other high placings in large classes. We also had our small milking herd appraised at the end of July. We were very excited with our average score being a 90 with two first fresheners! We have cut back on our herd a bit, but we still have a few very beautiful doelings as well as a couple bucklings For Sale. Please Contact Us if you're interested! As fall is around the corner we will soon be starting to breed select does to freshen in the spring. Please inform us of any interest you might have in kids as some does might not be bred unless a kid is spoken for.
Thanks for visiting our site, and God Bless!

08/14/2006: We recently attended the 2006 National Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. The small show string of 4 milking does we brought made us proud. Thally was given top honors as a first freshener, winning 1st place 2 yr. old with 1st udder! Our 3 yr. olds also placed high, Selena coming in 5th place, and Bliss in 7th place. Reganna, our yearling milker also did well at 15th place. The girls sure made us proud and we're excited to see what next years' Nationals will bring!
