Through the FFA, I was able to gain experience working with this kind hearted breed. FFA students have the opportunity to show oberhasli goats at the local fairs as well as maintain the health and wellbeing of these animals at the farm located on the high school campus.  The FFA chapter also participated in Linear Appraisal whenever it was offered in our area. 

When it was my time to graduate high school I was able purchase my  Showmanship doe. Since 2016, we have worked with the Crest High FFA Chapter breeding and caring for Oberhasli. In November of 2019, we decided to start our own herd while using my showmanship doe as our foundation.  

We now have our own herd that is built off of some of the genetics from the high school FFA chapter. Our herd,  Pecan-Creek,  participates in all performance programs offered by the American Dairy Goat Association. Our herd is currently participating in Milk Testing, Linear Appraisal, and we are in the process of DNA testing our entire herd. 

Biosecurity is also very important to us. Therefore, we are very selective as to what animals come to our farm. We also run yearly biosecurity testing panels that include the following: CAE, CL, Johnes, and Q-Fever. We are very happy to report that our herd has tested negative again this year 2023! 

Our website is a work-in-progress! New features will be added and updates will occur on a regular basis. Last update: March 5, 2024.
