2008 Colored Angora Goat Kids

Our 2008 Angora Kids have arrived. We are accepting reservations. There are still a couple of does due to kid, so thie for sale list isn't complete.

Most of Steam Valley's Colored Angora Goats are from the black/gray/reverse badger gene pool also referred to as recessive gene pool. Our herd typically throws kids that are black, gray, silver-blue, cream, spotted, reverse badger, badger and white.

For 2008, we used two bucks in breeding season. Herdsire, Angelo, is a spectacular faded red buck out of Greta Dice's colored breeding. Angelo bred our white color carrier does as well as a few black does. Angelo's offspring in 2006 & 2007 were white, faded red, brown, reverse badger and a black reverse badger with a belt.

Arthur Weasley is a taupe badger buck who is new this year. He covered many of our colored Angora does. We are excited to see what will come out of his genetics as his fleece is particularily fine and curly. Arthur is also a Greta Dice buck from Persimmon Tree Farm in Glen Rock, PA.

Border Leicester Lambs for 2008
Our Border Leicester and Border Leicester cross ewes have been bred to a new Border Leicester ram from Glenfiditch Farm of Mansfield, PA. The fleece on our new ram is fine and has excellent lock definition. We feel he will provide us with excellent fleeces on his offspring, keeping the curl in our finer fleeced Coriedale crosses and continuing the Border Leicester quality fleeces of our purebreds.

No lambs are available at this time. Lambing will begin in April or May, 2008.

Our Nubians are pastured with the Angoras during the summer on rotational paddocks. After their kids are weaned, we milk our Nubbies for milk for the table, and to make yogurt, goat cheese and hand cranked ice cream. Health history and herd management for sustainable raising of livestock is freely discussed. When you are tired of chasing those cute but impossible to catch Angora goat kids, we go to the Nubian pen to be climbed on by the affectionate dairy goat kids.


Farm Tours
We offer free 1 hour tours of the farm if you would like to come visit. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Our Annual Spring Farm Tour is April 10th from 10 AM - 3 PM.
