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 contactedregarding 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 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. Jim and I feel we have a great start to a
quality herd. We look forward to showing in ADGA. We register our goats with ADGA only.
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 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. We are presently building our second barn 24X64 feet, with
plans to open a dairy, including cheese production, soap, lotions, and local milk sales through
the goat shares program. We will also be adding additional 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. But this year we had a few does with
unbalanced udders due to kids nursing. These does will not be dam raising their kids in 2010.
Our site is up-dated regularly. Please come back and visit. Most of the time we have does,
bucks and wethers available for purchase
