UPDATE:  Our Nigerian Dwarf herd has been dispersed.  You can now view those goats at their new home in Maryland - www.avolinofarm.com  Thanks!

 

 

Welcome to Heatherwood Farm!

 Heatherwood Farm has been in operation for nearly 30 years.  Through those years I've learned an immense amount about dairy goats - and have set my goals high for my breeding program.  I've carefully picked my foundation stock and have built the herd around those incredible genetics. 

 

This past year has brought many changes, including moving to a new farmstead.  We're now located in Northeastern Arkansas.  The farm sits on 12 acres of rolling, lush land.  It hasn't been farmed in many years, so there's still the job of putting up proper fencing and getting more LGD's.  But, all in due time.  The herd  enjoys  alfalfa hay that we usually get from out of state as well as all milking does/babies being offered an 18% grain ration.   Minerals are always available, and the herd is routinely bolused with Bo-Se and Copper.  To date, I've not encountered problems with CAE, CL or Johnes, and the health of my herd remains paramount.

 

New this year:  We've started up a small Saanen herd!  Once again, our foundation herd consists of outstanding animals.  We feel that our Saanen herd will be spectacular. 

 

It's my goal to attend as many shows as I can this coming year.  Being new to the area has been a bit of a challenge, but I'm slowly meeting all my 'goat neighbors' and am really looking forward to the upcoming shows!
