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. http://goatconnection.com/articles/publish/article_151.shtml

This is a site on where and how to ship your samples. http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts_waddl/caefaq.aspx
