Mature/Yearling Animals Algedi Farm H Lady Venus LA2008 +++V 83 G+ 20" DOB 3-4-05 Sire: Rosasharn's UMT Hamachi *S Dam: CH Rosasharn's TL Zenith
Body Shot: Second Freshening with kid on her (no milk in udder) Udder: First Freshening Venus is a small doe that lacks in refinement, but excels in width and depth of body. She has good dairy skin, open ribbing, and a level topline, including a long and wide rump, especially compared to her size. Her shoulders do roll while on the move, and could benefit from being tighter and flatter. She's freshened with a very tightly attached small udder that has super snug side attachments, and nice fore udder extension. While her teats could be larger, she has nice udder texture and large orifices. Thus far, she does seem to be throwing more refined and dairy kids then herself, and due to a "No, I will not walk or setup, instead why not lay down, or choke myself on my collar?" attitude I think she'll stay home as a brood doe and let her full siblings and daughters do all the talking in the ring. Venus is for sale as a brood doe. $450 open, or $500 bred to the buck of your choice. Sale pending - thanks Ken! Venus is bred to Ch Algedi Farm Smokin' Hot Honey for 03-30-09 kids.

Wethers We're all sold out for this year on babies - but we do have a couple adults available. Contact us for details. Our wethers (castrated bucks) are dam raised to ensure they're off to a healthy start - but don't worry, the everyday handling they get makes a super friendly goat. Not only would these sweet little boys make wonderful pets, they could also double as eco-friendly fire fuel clearers, not to mention they're a lot cuter then any machine. By the time they're ready to go to a new home in mid-late June, they'll be disbudded and castrated. Our price reflects the time and care we put into our kids, making sure you'll have a healthy, happy goat that will live a long life. Our goal is to have happy customers that don't have to rush their babies to the vet. Scroll down to see pictures of the available kids. Names can be changed if desired. $125 each, discounts to approved homes and multiple purchases. No kids available at this time. We do have five adult wethers (Two blue eyed, one mini-lamancha) and two minature donkeys for sale to an approved home - contact us for details. All of them are very, very sweet. The whole herd must stay together and is currently priced at $500 (including donkeys). |

Herd Management Here at
Algedi Farm we believe that the best way to approach animal care is by promoting
excellent health in an effort to avoid costly treatments. We feed
top quality Bermuda grass hay, alfalfa, and 3-way oat hay to our does.
When does are milking they are fed a high quality dairy goat grain ration.
For wethers we recommend NEVER graining and giving only very, very small amounts
of alfalfa and 3-way oat hay along with a mainstay of Bermuda hay. A
highly recommended book is Diet For Wethers by Carolyn Eddy available
through
Hoegger Goat Supply. Goats are
provided with free choice GOAT minerals and kelp. We use Hoegger Herbal
Wormer for parasite control. Our pens are large allowing for plenty of
exercise on a daily basis, and occasionally they are let out to run, browse and
play on our fenced two acres. Our goal is for our goats to be very
friendly, and they get a good deal of hands on attention. Even though kids
are dam raised they are handled daily (several times a day by the two-legged
kids), played with and well loved. A kid purchased from us is sure to be
extremely friendly. Kids are disbudded as soon as horn buds are noticed.
Because we are on milk test all kids must learn to take a bottle. Our herd
is vet tested
CAE &
Johnes free
yearly. Our herd is free of CL abscesses. Please feel free to ask
questions - we love to talk goats!! |

Kalee's Tips
Ok, so Mom's already explained the basics. But I have some tips that will help make your goats happy and healthy. #1 To keep your goat's coat shiny you should feed them their minerals, but brushing them is good for their coats and most goats like it! They seem to get all sorts of hay and stuff like that in their coat, so brushing their coats the wrong way and then the right way will get all that stuff out! #2 On a cold day your goats will be reluctant to drink their water since it will be ice cold. I bring out a bowl of hot water with vinegar and maple syrup with a TINY drop of molasses . The less molasses the better. Your goats will love you for the hot vinegar and maple syrup water! #3 Most goats like to be scratched on the withers, breast bone, and neck. #4 Goats not only like grain and hay, but they LOVE Unsalted Black Oil Sunflower seeds, Banana Chips, Dried Fruit like Raisins, Craisins, etc. Crackers (Should be unsalted!), Cookies (every great once in awhile), Carrots broken in to small pieces, Oranges and the peel, Unsalted Corn nuts, Unsalted and unbuttered Popcorn, Banana peel, Breakfast Bars and Graham Crackers, Apples in small pieces and pumpkin seeds. All these thing should be given as a RARE treat ONLY! You don't want to make your goat sick! #5 When you're milking offer your doe some hot water after milking. Ok, That's it for now! ~ Kalee
