We grow our Lamancha dairy goat herd in southern Indiana with these values in mind:
- The healthiest, longest living, and most productive animals we can breed for
- Our animals balance quality milk production and good conformation
- We humanely raise all our animals (including CAE-free kid raising practices, all goats disbudded, and the herd tested yearly for CAE, CL, and Johnes - all animals negative) and provide a natural and low stress lifestyle at all times
- Many of our animals have been alpha S1casein tested for those herds looking to improve cheese yields
