Dorothea and I began raising Angora goats with the guidance and
help from Dr. David Pugh of Auburn
University School of Veterinarian Medicine. Dr. Pugh would bring students
to the farm on field trips and help us improve the quality of our herd and
pasture. Following a failure with Boer goat embroyes we decided
to raise goats that have been here in the south for many years while slowly
introducing Boer blood into the herd. At present 
our herd consists of 24 adult and doelings and 15 kids born within the last
three months.
Dorothea and I enjoy the kid goats when they are about 2 to 4 weeks of age. Seeing them jump and spring around in the air is a refreshing site. If there is anything for them to climb up on they'll play king of the hill. And generally we have a kid or two where bottle feeding is necessary which then causes the kid to grow up being an ideal pet.
We generally have goats for sale throughout the year.
I
belong to the Goat & Sheep Producers of
Alabama because of a very dedicated and enthusiastic lady. I met Lee on
one of the organization's hosted workshops a considerable driving distance
from her. I also learned that Lee can be found about Alabama and southern
parts of Tennessee hosting workshops on behalf of the GSPA. If you are
interested in learning more about goats and sheep I highly recommend joining
the GSPA. Sure there are other larger and national based organizations but
you'll have more contact and influence in our local organization.
