Welcome to our herd. We had a successful Spring with kidding and with only a few more to go we're excited to move into Show season. Please feel free to look around the website a bit and contact us if you have any other questions!
We are still in the beginning stages of our Oberhasli herd after just 2 1/2 years with them. We started out in a joint herd with my parents and their Toggenburgs and quickly came to find our love of the Oberhasli. Their personality, coloring, and distintive characteristics blend smoothly with our family and we couldn't be more happy. We still have a single Toggenburg doe that is a beautiful example of her breed and is on her second year of producing Oberhasli / Toggenburg grade kids. The 'we' part of Quitan Obers is myself, my silent partner (husband) yet very loud milker, my 6 yr old son and my 5 yr old daughter.
This year we ventured into AI breeding and with two bucks on the property we split our herd with 3 AI's, 3 bred to our Jr Herd Sire - Ober'D-Rainbow BVR Bach, and 3 bred to Tutlelu Attention who is once again a part of the Vanjust Oberhasli herd. The majority of our kids will be retained until we can get a good evaluation of their substance as we continue to grow our herd. If you have any questions on any of our breeding and possible kids availabe, please feel free to email us. We are constantly learning and growing and welcome any questions in general as we would gladly find out the answer if we could so we could know it too.
For 2012 we will be showing or attending the following:
* ISDGA Dairy Goat Show in Boise, ID on Memorial Weekend,
* NEWDGA Dairy Goat Show in Spokane, WA which is having an Oberhasli Specialty on June 16th,
* NWODGA Dairy Goat Show in Salem, OR (tentative)
* ADGA National Dairy Goat Show - July 7-14 in Colorado
* Boise State Fair - August
* Spokane International Fair & Expo - September
* ADGA National Dairy Goat Conference - October in Boise, ID
Who knows, we may end up at more shows, just depends on how the human children are fairing from the travels and how the girls are feeling from the trips.
January Update: *We just received our results and the Entire Herd once again tested Negative for CAE
* Ultrasound confirmation.
