Welcome to Diji Farm...

 

We are done kidding for the season - we had 40 wonderful kids arrive.  There are still a few available on our New Arrivals page - photos will be udated soon.  Thank you to everyone for your support and help through another successful season.

We are so excited to announce that we received a letter from ADGA stating that our girl Kitty received her Superior Genetics designation!

We started our little goat farm in 2007, when we purchased our first doe (Sugar Pine SB American Glory who was bred and had Caprikodas Diji's Ms Kitty) and two wethers.  We've since sold the wethers and moved onto raising these wonderful little goats that have a tendency to steal your heart.  In the past two years we've began showing, milking and participating in Linear Appraisal.  Our barn is almost complete with this being the first season that we've actually stored hay in it!  I fully expect to be milking in my new milk parlor next year and having our next kidding season in there.  We've even got a new little barn kitten, Highway (I found him in a ditch on hwy 18 headed to the coast one day).  Now all we need is the corrals to go in and the girls and kids will all move to their new homes.  The boys will then get to expand their territory and move to the girls’ old facilities until their new barn is built.   

2012 Linear Appraisal is done June - we are looking forward to another great year.  Click to see our Linear Appraisal results from 2011.

Ms Kitty was awarded her SG designation in 2011 and four of our girls earned their butterfat stars.  With my schedule flexing so much, the poor things are not kept on a regular schedule, and therefore their production is off.  In otherwords, the numbers do not reflect the the girls true potential, they reflect my inability to keep them on a good schedule.  Hopefully next year we can earn their production stars too. 

This seems to be our year for growing, this year we are also dabbling in AI, we have purchased a semen tank with Margie Dykstra from Blythmoor Farm.  We are so excited to learn all these new aspects of the dairy and breeding life.
