Thank you for your interest in
Rockin-CB LaManchas.
2015 was a
good year for us. We were able to attend a few
additional shows and get a few more of the goats out and
about. We finished a few does this past year and got
championship legs on many more. We culminated the show
season by having the BEST in SHOW Dairy herd at the
competitive Washington State Fair. We have also
continued to work on improving milk production. In 2010
our rolling herd average was 1900 lbs., and now it is
2200 lbs.
Our goals continue
to have an emphasis on breeding animals that improve
with maturity and live to an old age while still being
productive. We are constantly striving to breed the
"best" by concentrating on developing consistency in the
show ring as well as the milk pail.
We will be
freshening 24 does for 2018. We anticipate that a few
first fresheners will be available for sale in late
spring. The does will start kidding mid-February and we
should be done by the end of May. The herd is once again
100% CAE negative. We test annually through Bio-Tracking
before kidding season begins.
All of our kids are
removed from their dams at birth and fed raw colostrum
and milk, which has worked well for us the last 7 years.
Prior to that we fed heat-treated colostrum and
pasteurized milk. We thought that after 20 some years of
doing that we would be safe to go to raw milk and
colostrum which, as I mentioned above, has worked well.
We are on continuous DHIA test and have the herd
appraised at least every other year.
Our prices include
delivery to Spokane International Airport. The buyer is
responsible for transportation costs, kennel and
Interstate Health certificates. Spokane is located in
Northeast Washington state. We request a deposit of $100
to reserve your choice of kid, and we operate on a first
come-first serve policy. The balance is due within two
weeks of being notified of your kid's birth, unless
previous arrangements have been made. Our animals
receive CDT, Bo-Se and are wormed routinely. They are
fed quality alfalfa hay and have acreage for browse.
They also receive a 16% grain ration. Kids receive
medicated grain. Deposit refunds are given ONLY in the
event your kid is not born.
If you have any
questions please don't hesitate to call, e-mail or write
(e-mail or text is the best method of contact). Most of
our animals are pictured on our website,
www.rockincb.com,
or can be seen on our
Facebook page.
Thank you,
Cindy and Bob
