Adventure In Goats

We are so excited about our newest members of the farm.  We have welcomed Ginger our registered bred Oberhasli goats.  She came to us from a very small breeder in Pennsylvania.  Oberhaslis came originally from Switzerland to the United States in the early 1900s.  They are most known for their gentle dispositions, unique coloring, and high butter fat content.  These amazing dairy goats produce roughly 1-1 1/2 gals of milk per day, with a butterfat content ranging from 3.5%-4%.   This Medium size goat comes in two colors chamois and rarely black.  Black females can be registered males cannot   Oberhaslis are still considered relatively rare, but are starting to pop up in goat shows around the US.  Our main goal in stepping into this breed is too produce great sweet milk and milk products.  We are also looking forward to holding a few contest for local 4-H kids, with the hope of donating 1 or 2 registered weathers each year.
