The first goats to be added to Shady Oak Farm was in the spring of 2016. Knowing little about dairy goats, we kept it simple with 2 does. Fast forward a few years (and tons of research) later, and our herd has grown and evolved. Shady Oak has added goats from across the country (including states like Ohio, Tennessee and Washington) to create a foundation herd we are excited about.
We now understand what it is that we want to focus on in our breeding program and where we would like to see our herd go. Our goal is to carry on what the herds our foundation animals came from through the performance programs the American Dairy Goat Association has to offer, such as DHIR and LA. We still have progress to make and a lot more to learn, but fully enjoy this new found love of dairy goats.
