Thank you for your interest in our breeding program. I first went into Nubian goats in 1993, when it was discovered our oldest son was intolerant to cow milk. I was lucky with my first purchases as I bought does which were heavy milkers. After that I couldn't see the point of having anything less, so I have concentrated on milk lines with correct conformation and udders. I began classification in l996 and milk testing in 1999. I have been happy with the results of both.

All the animals in my herd are tested CAE free.  They are also CL free and abscess free. The babies are hand-raised on pasteurized milk and are always kept separate from the adults. Deworming is done once a year (or as needed) with Dectomax and I give bi-annual vitamin AD and Sel-E shots. I use my own mix of grain which consists of a 15% dairy goat ration and a COB mix without molasses. Everyone also gets black sunflower seed in the mix.

To reserve a kid, a $50 deposit is required. I prefer to have kids shipped or picked up by six weeks of age, as it is easier on the kids. Kids will be shipped out of Kelowna, B.C. and all shipping charges are responsibility of the new owner.  All kids must be paid for in full within 2 weeks of notification of birth.

This summer we have opened the Rock Mountain Guest House. The views are spectacular and complete privacy is guaranteed.  For those interested, a tour of the goat herd is included.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I love to discuss my animals and their pedigrees.

Sincerely,

Carol DuMont, Garden Gate Nubians
