| We are a small hobby farm in Ketchikan, AK. "O.K. so where's Ketchikan?", you ask. Ketchikan is located in SE Alaska on Revillagigedo Island in a moderate rain forest. We normally get around 150" of rain per year, making it an interesting and challenging project to keep any kind of livestock. We currently raise goats for dairy and meat purposes. With the exception of our little Bogerian, Jester, our goats are registered with the ADGA or USBGA and we raise Purebred and Grade Nubians, Experimentals, and some Boer crosses. We are much more interested in function than showiness and so breed for a good combination of meat and milk production for our own use. Oh, yea, and also for spots, because I like color! I know, I know, that isn't very functional, but we all have our little quirks. Our herd currently consists of nine does, two bucks, two LGD's, and a couple of wethers for meat. Our does are a 50% grade Nubian, a 50/50% Nubian/Oberhasli Experimental, four Purebred Nubians, a 75% grade Nubian, a 72/28% Boer/Nubian mix, a 75/25% Boer/Angora mix and our bucks are a 72% Boer and a purebred spotted Nubian. This site is a work in progress, so please check back for updates. |

| An open letter to all legislators: We would just like our voices to be heard. LEAVE OUR HEALTH CARE ALONE! and RECONCILLIATION IS NOT AN OPTION!!! We don't need you to tell us what we need and we DO NOT need this bill! Here's a thought...Why not target what actually should be fixed in our current system rather than tearing the whole thing down? Scrap this atrocious piece of excrement that you call a "reform" bill and start over. Oh, and here's a though, maybe you should listen to the people who pay your salaries! We would also demand that you decline to vote on any more legislation without reading it first. Yes, every word! Thank you. Updated 03/01/2010 |
