Layton Hollow Dairy Goats For Sale, Nubians, Toggenburgs, Lamancha Breeder, Yellville, Arkansas

Hello and thank you for stopping by my farm! We are located in the Ozarks of Northern Arkansas. I raise quality registered dairy goats, focusing on the nubian breed. I first got into dairy goats for the wonderful milk they produce and it has grown from there.

I strive to breed goats that will produce, as well as appraise and show well. I raise my dairy goats as naturally as I have the ability and understanding to do so successfully. I use management

and fecals as tools to greatly reduce the amount of chemical wormer and coccidiostat used. My
goats are fed locally grown grass hay and have access to browse for the base of their diet, with
alfalfa hay or alfalfa pellets added for absorbable calcium and protein for their milk production plus enough whole oats to maintain a healthy weight through lactation. I also copper bolus now as I have seen great effects from it in my herd.

This year we participated in the linear appraisal program offered by ADGA. I really think this is a great program, we really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I was also happy with how my does scored! I am looking forward to participating in the LA program in the future.

All of my does are tested yearly for CAE and all remain negative. With the negative CAE status of my herd, I dam raise (however, I will start reserved kids on CAE prevention if buyer prefers this). I feel this is the healthiest and least stressful way to raise kids. As soon as babies are a couple weeks old, they are penned away from mom (but right beside her) overnight and fed a bottle of their mothers milk in the morning before being returned to her, to ensure the babies grow up tame and friendly.

   I am looking forward to the 2010 kidding season, check back for updates!
