We raise our own pork and lamb with the surplus milk, and butcher most of the young male goats. We are using our Boer buck, Mongo, on several of our does this year.
Goat milk is also used to make fine quality soaps. Cat Dreams Soap uses our goat milk exclusively to make their excellent products. If you are interested in trying goat milk soap, you may visit Judy Scher's home page to learn about Cat Dreams Soaps. Judy is happy to share some of her recipes and tricks for making goat milk soap. She also keeps honeybees, and uses our goat manure in her organic urban vegetable garden!
To experience your own home-grown dairy products, ask us about adult milking does as well as our young breeding stock.
These does are either still in the herd, or we have their milking daughters & granddaughters.
