Dear Friends,
Thank you for your
interest in our stock. For
over twenty-five years we have maintained a small herd of outstanding
Alpine dairy goats on our ranch in the redwoods of northern California.
The herd is the result of a strict culling program and is limited
to eight milking does.
Our animals are
long-lived, and productive. We
breed for structurally correct, smoothly blended does with capacious,
exceptional mammary systems. In
addition to striving for excellent individuals, we require that our
animals consistently reproduce their qualities.
This has resulted in highly successful doe lines that produce
champion progeny for generations.
Our does are known for
their productivity and are in many dairies throughout the state. The herd is closed with the
exception of bucks purchased or leased to breed to our does.
We do not board; our animals are CAE and abscess free.
To reserve a kid,
we require a $100 deposit. Our size constraints also make it imperative
that we sell many show-quality kids or milking does we would rather
keep. Therefore, nearly all buck kids, and many does will be offered for
sale. However, we do reserve the right to decide not to offer any
kid born, so we urge you to make both a first and second choice.
If we cannot fill your order, your deposit will be returned.
Prices do not include a $75 delivery charge to the San Francisco
airport, shipping, or health certificate fees.
On any buck kid, we reserve the option to purchase up to 20 units
of semen for the cost of collection.
If you are looking
for an excellent herdsire or a top show doe who is also productive, we
think you would do well to consider an animal from Shining Moon Ranch.
Sincerely,
The Colfax Family
