Thank you for inquiring about our herd and thank you to those who have purchased from us in the past.

    Autumn Acres Dairy Goats is located in southwestern Michigan between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.  We have been raising dairy goats for over twenty five years and strive to produce healthy, hard working animals that will compete well in the show ring and have long, productive lives.  For anyone interested in purchasing an animal, all kids are raised on the CAE prevention program of heat-treated colostrum and pasteurized milk, and we feed free choice high quality alfalfa/grass mixed hay and a 17% grain ration.  The herd maintains a TB-free certified and accredited status and has a good vaccination program.  All animals are vaccinated with Covexin 8 (overeating, etc.), BoSe, and Lysigin to help prevent Staph mastitis and are wormed routinely.

   2007 was another exciting year for the herd.  We started this year with all but two of our show string being yearlings and two year olds.  We are proud to say they held to the test and we finished the season with four of them finishing their championship, and with several others obtaining legs.  We weren't able to attend the National Show this year, but look forward to going to Kentucky next summer.  We feel our does had a great season going Best in Show twelve times this summer!

   We try to attend several competitive shows a year throughout Michigan, Indiana and Ohio without over extending our girls .  We also linear appraise almost every year.  Because of our work schedule and other family commitments, our herd must be kept at a manageable number.  We have a nice selection of milkers and kids to sell each year and offer only a limited number of bucks.  We are not a breeder that will sell a buck out of just anything.  Buck sales are very select and only made after each kid is evaluated at birth.  Prices on our animals range from $250 - $1,000 depending on who and what you are interested in.  On a few occasions, mature bucks and finished does are also available at various prices.  Please contact us if you would like more information on a particular animal or line, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

   I would like to thank my family for their support throughout the year; my Mom for her extra help during kidding season, and my son, Tyler, for his extra help in the barn.  A special thanks to Nicole for her talent of showing the does to their best!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Autumn Acres
