Welcome to Jasper Pine, est. 2004. Owners are Jim and Kathy Sullivan. We first and
foremost wish to thank the farms that have given us the opportunity to build the Nigerian
Dwarf herd we now enjoy. Five years ago we contacted Kaapio Acres regarding purchasing a
small herd of goats. Deena Sansone was a tremendous help to us and sold us two well bred
bucks and three does that were a great start to our herd. Two years later we purchased three
outstanding does with milking genetics from PHOLIA FARM. Gianaclis Caldwell has also
been so very helpful and has an awesome dairy in Oregon. The does we have purchased
from Gianaclis as adults, have proven to be good milkers, and look foreward to showing
Minuet. In March 2009 we had the opportunity to buy a number of goats that are show stock,
as well as having superior milking genetics from Algedi Farm located in Oregon. Thank you
Tamara and Kalee , for allowing us to purchase your animals. Our primary line we wish to
follow and will continue to improve our herd with is Rosasharn farm. Jim and I feel we have a
great start to a quality herd. We look forward to the 2010 show ADGA show season. We
recently had our first Linear Appraisal spring 2009. Our scores were very good. All the goats
that were evaluated have the scores recorded on the site. We will be conducting our second
Linear Appraisal this spring of 2010. We do routine testing for CAE and our herd is negative.
We are fortunate to have the opportunity to pasture our entire herd, and cultivate our own hay
field. Our does presently enjoy a roomy 24 X 50 ft barn with large stalls and 3 kidding pens.
Our second attached barn is 24 X 64 feet, with plans to open a dairy, including cheese
production, soap, lotions, and local milk sales through the goat shares program. We added
additional 2 large stalls and 5 kidding pens to this barn. Our does do not kid with the herd.
Approximately a week prior to freshening, each doe is placed in a kidding pen, where a heat
lamp is available for the newborns, and the stalls are rubber mated. All kidding stalls are
cleaned twice daily. We have cameras located in every kidding pen, and our does are
watched from the house. So far we have been present for all the does during the kidding
process. We do not leave the farm when we are expecting kids. We are so fortunate that Jim
works from home, allowing him to view the camera and listen to the baby monitor. I am
available much of the time as well, being a home care/hospice nurse, and many times close to
home. After freshening, each doe is given a warm water electrolyte solution with a bit of
honey added. They love this, and it is a great pick me up. If we feel a doe or newborn need
more than this we offer Nutri drench. Our does receive a BoSe inj. two weeks prior to kidding
and after freshening, as do the kids. Our entire herd receives free choice SWEET LIX
vitamin/mineral supplement. When the kids are a few days old, they are moved into a larger
stall with does and kids that are close to the same age group. We do try to keep our first
fresheners together. Eventually as the kids are older, everyone is incorporated in our large
front pasture. All of our stalls have access to pasture or a smaller grass paddock. We, for the
most part dam raise. Our site is up-dated regularly. Please come back and visit. Most of the
time we have does, bucks and wethers available for purchase

I have added to our (farm pictures page) information for hay feeders that are
really working for us to completely avoid waste in hay. They are inexpensive to
make and you can build them to your specifications.
