ABOUT THE SHAMMY HERD OF GOATS |
I have had a lot of changes in my life recently I lost Ray to cancer in Feb 07 the love of my life is gone and I miss him terribly I have remained in goats, and I am taking great care of his special girls. many people have heard I sold all my goats and gave up this special enjoyment of life but I have kept a fair amount of the lamancha's , I plan to stay in goats for a while yet My herd of goats are located in Marcola Oregon up the Mohawk Valley, about 20 miles from Eugene, I live on forested land in the lower hills close to the Santiam pass I get a lot of rain in this area. I have a clean herd and test cae regularly, heat treat, and pasteurize milk. my goats are shown, appraised, often go to the nat'l show, wormed and vasccinated regularly, all births are attended i use a camera in the barn to keep on top of kidding |
we got our first goats in 1966 a nubian alpine cross, how we got from that to LM's is a familiar story to many people, you just sort of fall in love with the breed. And along with our LM's we had a few Nubians, |
and here are two of our lovely grand daughters. commonly called the devil girls at the local fair, wonder why they call them the devil girls ???? |
