My Goats
I started my goat herd in 2014 to supply milk for my family. I found a reputable breeder (Lunamojo) of quality Nubians and purchased my first two does from her. Her herd is CAE neg, G6S normal and my herd does not come into contact with any other goats but hers. Originally I took my does back to her to be bred but I now have 2 bucks of my own. I test yearly for CAE, CL, and Jones and have a negative herd. I use a mix of herbal care and western medicine depending on the needs of the goats. I get a lot of my goat care information from DaNelle Wolford's website (http://www.weedemandreap.com/) and Fias Co Farm's website (http://fiascofarm.com/). They have a wealth of information.
WHAT I FEED:
I'm experimenting with mixing my own feed for better milk yeild. Right now I'm mixing 2 parts Dumor Goat Sweet Feed, 2 parts Beet Pulp Pellets (could use shreds but pellets are cheaper here), 1 part Alfalfa Pellets, 1 part Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, and 1 part Cracked Corn. While my does are milking I feed them 4 cups of this mix with 2 oz Manna Pro Goat Balancer, 1 heaping small scoop of Animed Vitamin E, 1/2 oz Gutworks (horsetech.com), 1 tsp Dried Kelp. I use herbal dewormer once a week from Mollysherbals.com according to her instructions. In the spring through fall I give a pinch of Buggzo (horsetech.com). I have seen an increase in milk production from an average of 3 lbs per milking to an average of 3 1/2 lbs. Before I was feeding the above except Goat Balancer, corn, beet pulp, and alfalfa pellets.
UPDATE 2/21/2017: After calculating the cost of mixing my own feed I have found it costs about the same to just use commercial goat feed. So I am switching to Noble Goat 16% medicated goat feed for nursing kids and anyone who's not milking and Purina Goat Chow for the milkers and nursing kids. I still give Vitamin E, Minerals, and the herbal wormer from Molly's Herbals to everyone and Gutworks, kelp to milkers, and also a pregnancy herbal mix from Molly's Herbals to the pregnant does. I also add a cup of BOSS and ADM 36% Goat Feed Concentrate to those who need it such as the milkers or those that may be underweight. The doe I measured milk production from with the feed mix above miscarried this year so I will have to wait until she kids again to assess milk production on this feed.
I have pics of my Nubians sires, dams, ect but the only goats I own are Martini, Faith, and Abercrombe. Sorry if the pics of goats in their pedigree don't line up quite right. They don't seem to want to stay where I put them!
ALL GOATS TEST NEGATIVE FOR CAE, CL, AND JONE'S AND ARE G6 NEGATIVE BY PARENTAGE. I RUN A CLOSED HERD THAT DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH OUTSIDE GOATS OTHER THAN LUMAMOJO'S FOR BREEDING, WHO ALSO TESTS THEIR GOATS YEARLY. The borderline result for CAE in Echo is possible contamination in the test. I sent in another sample to retest and it came back negative.
