to Ketchi-Kids Farm!
| RealMilk.com |
| 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 eight does, three bucks, two LGD's, and a couple of wethers for meat. Our does are a 50% grade Nubian, a 50/50% Nubian/Oberhasli Experimental, 50/50% Nubian/Saanen Experimental, three Purebred Nubians, a 72/28% Boer/Nubian mix, a 75/25% Boer/Angora mix and our bucks are a 72% Boer and two purebred spotted Nubians. This site is a work in progress, so please check back for updates. |

| This is our livestock guardian dog, Hemi. He is an Anatolian Shepherd mix who comes to us from Perry & Theresa Parker of Parker's Gourmet Goats! As you can see, he is a very hard(ly) working dog! ;0) |

| Meet Ella. She is an English Shepherd from Thomas' English Shepherds in Oregon. Thanks Sandi! Ella arrived via jet on June 4th, and, as you can see from the pic below on the left, she was one pooped pup! Update 07/06/2010: Pictures on the right show a 3-month-old Ella having a conversation with Nick. |
