D&AK Farm is owned
and operated by my 8 year old daughter, Adalina, my wife Dawna and me, Eric.
We raise quality LaMancha, Nubian and Saanen dairy goats for milk and for
show. The most important thing to us at D&AK Farm is the health and
happiness of all our friends in the barn. |

2008 |
We
went to the ADGA Nationals for our first time in Louisville Kentucky. We
took 13 goats and 12 made the cut in their respective class. We were quite
pleased when our Saanen Senior Kid took 2nd place in a class of
21. Overall we are happy with how our goats did, it was a great experience
and a lot of fun (not to mention a lot of work!). |
We are very excited and
pleased to announce that we tested all our goats for CAE and CL. The
results are negative. All the goats at our farm are CAE and CL free,
Yippee! We are continuing to raise our kids on a CAE prevention plan by
hand raising our kids on pasteurized milk and being there for every
kidding possible. Periodically we will retest to assure that our herd
remains free of these. Also to anyone who has not tested but has been
thinking of it, this was our first time testing and we drew the blood
ourselves. I have to admit we were nervous about it, but after the first
few it was a piece of cake. It is relatively simple and saves you a lot of
money. You still have to pay the shipping and processing fees, but no vet
bill.
Here is a good site on learning to draw blood.
