Thank you for inquiring
about our herd and thank you to those who have purchased from us in
the past.
Autumn Acres Dairy Goats
is located in southwestern Michigan between Grand Rapids and
Kalamazoo. We have been raising dairy goats for over twenty
five years and strive to produce healthy, hard working animals that
will compete well in the show ring and have long, productive lives.
For anyone interested in purchasing an animal, all kids are raised
on the CAE prevention program of heat-treated colostrum and
pasteurized milk, and we feed free choice high quality alfalfa/grass
mixed hay and a 17% grain ration. The herd maintains a TB-free
certified and accredited status and has a good vaccination program.
All animals are vaccinated with Covexin 8 (overeating, etc.), BoSe,
and Lysigin to help prevent Staph mastitis and are wormed routinely.
2009 has been a good year for the herd. We attended several
shows in Michigan and Indiana. Three does finished their
championship and numerous other does obtained GCH legs. We had
several does win Best Doe In Show and had 13 wins in all.
Along with a good show year, linear appraisal went well with 13
animals scoring an overall 92. All in all, we just couldn't be
more proud of their accomplishments!
We try to attend several competitive shows a year throughout
Michigan, Indiana and Ohio without over extending our girls .
We also linear appraise almost every year. Because of our work
schedule and other family commitments, our herd must be kept at a
manageable number. We have a nice selection of milkers and
kids to sell each year and offer only a limited number of bucks.
We are not a breeder that will sell a buck out of just anything.
Buck sales are very select and only made after each kid is evaluated
at birth. Prices on our animals range from $250 - $1,000
depending on who and what you are interested in. On a few
occasions, mature bucks and finished does are also available at
various prices. Please
contact us if you would like more information on a particular
animal or line, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may
have.
I would like to thank my family for their support throughout the
year; my Mom for her extra help during kidding season, and my son,
Tyler, for his extra help in the barn. A special thanks to
Nicole for her talent of showing the does to their best!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Autumn Acres
