Whimsy Oak Dairy Goats began in early 2015 with a couple of Nubians. We added a LaMancha buck and two more Nubians, and then in 2016 we added another LaMancha doeling. We were so pleased with our LaManchas that we decided to phase out our Nubian herd and transition to LaManchas. We added two more LaMancha doelings from Sweet Song Farm in 2017 and another doeling and lease doe in 2018.
In 2018, we started participating in DHI and had goats scored at our first linear appraisal session. We also attended our first show, the Georgia National Fair ADGA sanctioned Open Dairy Goat Show in Perry. We have continued DHI, LA, and showing since that year!
2019 brought big changes. After using SG +*B Lucky*Star’s ME Henning to sire a few kids, we purchased him as a co-own and also brought in another Lucky Star buck sired by *B Rockin- CB KWY Jiangxi.
We also became ADGA Plus members in 2019 and started the process of DNA/casein typing our herd. 2023 will be our 9th year with goats, our 8th kidding season, our 6th year participating in DHI and LA, and our 5th year as ADGA Plus members! We have learned and grown so much on this journey, and we strive for quality in everything we do from disease testing to breeding for quality conformation and milk production. We value ethics and good management on our farm and are excited to see what the future holds!
