Welcome to Caelum
Parvum Farm! We are located in beautiful southeast Alabama, just outside of
Dothan. We live on a 50 acre farm, along with dairy
goats, horses, cattle and poultry.
We began
raising goats in 2006, starting with Angora
 and
Cashmere fiber goats. We added LaManchas in 2009 as
family milkers. In 2013, we transitioned out of the
fiber goats as our dairy herd grew. We chose this
short-eared breed for their sweet temperment, their
steady milk production, and the high butterfat
content of their milk.
Our first
LaManchas were purchased from Blueberry Field and
Cayds Castle. We acquired four milking does and one
buck from these two farms.
These goats were
the foundation of our current herd, and their
influence is still very prevalent in our herd to
this day. In 2014, we began the process of improving
our herd by bringing in new lines, and chose to
focus on more correct goats in conformation. In
2015, we participated in our first goat shows,
and obtained an initial Linear Appraisal. We plan to
participate in DHIR in 2016. We have also added
genetics from several herds located throughout the
United States, including Raintree, Barnowl, and
Noble-Oaks, in order to enhance structural
correctness and milk production in our goats.
Since our
herd is small, we intend to keep a few select
 goats.
Kids will be for sale each spring. An occasional
mature doe and/or buck may also become available for
purchase from time to time. Discounts will be
available for FFA and 4-H.
We are
continually striving to improve our herd by working
towards breeding top quality goats that will both
show and appraise well, in addition to having
excellent milk production for many years to come.
Thank you
for visiting our website. Due to circumstances in
life, many changes are underway. We will be updating
our website completely this fall or early next year.
We will post little updates as time permits. Showing
will remain limited this year. We hope to be more
active in the future.
We look
forward to hearing old friends and new. Hope to see
you at the shows in the future!
