Krebs Dairy Goats is running a fall sale on all available goats, $ 50 off per goat. Visit the Goat Sales page to peruse the goats that are available. Excellent milking and showing lines. Several milk starred does available. Several does have been exposed for breeding to a buck and are available with doe-kid-registration ADGA & AGS service memos.
Note that we are also offering a $ 1300 package deal on Krebs OT David Copperfield *S, Krebs SR Sound of Music (3*D pending), and Krebs LG Chimichanga (1 buck and 2 unrelated does). 5 Star Livestock Transport's last haul of the season.
If you would like to purchase goats from us but need them transported to your location, 5 Star Livestock Transport will be traveling through our region October 25th-November 8th (see route in above photo). We have known Amy Sporna with 5 Star Livestock Transport for years and highly recommend her. Contact her to reserve a spot. Also visit Goats For Sale to see goats currently available from Krebs Farm. We are happy to announce that all our goats now have photos on their pages. Please peruse the Bucks, First-Freshener Does, Junior Does, and Reference Does pages to see these new photos. The Goat Sales page has also been updated with new photos.
We would especially like to highlight Gabhran Creek Raise The Bar *B, who had his photos taken this afternoon (see below). He's hairy and rutting right now, but looking good despite that. Really like the head, long dairy neck, and solid structure on this buck. He's built like a Dill's goat (most of his ancestry is Dill's). We are expecting a large batch of kids sired by him in January, 2022. We are offering Krebs SR Sound of Music 3*D (pending), Krebs LG Chimichanga, and Krebs OT David Copperfield *S as a package deal for $ 1300. 2 Does and 1 unrelated buck. (Also take individually for prices listed below.)
Doe, Krebs SR Sound of Music, $ 550. Photo below. Music has one of the sweetest personalities of any goat we own. Her color is Swiss-marked, which is a very desirable color for a Nigerian. She will pass this color on to her offspring. She is an easy kidder and a great mom. Ready to breed for spring 2022 kids. Milk-stand trained. She is out of excellent, high-producing milking lines, and has already proven her own milk production by earning her American Goat Society 3*D award (pending). Her sire is Sycamore SS Rambo +*B+*S, and her dam is Krebs Farm STJ Edelweiss 2*M 2*D. Born June 25, 2018. Registered with ADGA & AGS. Doe, Krebs LG Chimichanga, $ 400. Photo Below. Chimichanga is chocolate buckskin and white with blue eyes. She will be old enough to breed in by January (to kid in spring of 2022). Her sire is ADGA Elite--he's in the top 5% of Nigerian bucks for producing daughters with excellent milk/butterfat/protein production. Excellent milking and showing lines on both sides of the pedigree. Her sire is Larkstone SP Grand Design *B Elite, and her dam is Krebs QQ Quesadilla. Born Jan. 17, 2021. Registered with ADGA & AGS. Buck, Krebs OT David Copperfield *S, $ 500. Photo below. David Copperfield is an unusual black & tan sundgau color, and he is covered in moonspots. His sire is MT Rivendells OLV Oliver Twist +S, and his dam is Hickory Leaf Claire 1*M *D AR. His dam was on the 2017 AGS national top ten list for high milk production. David Copperfield is full brother to two of the favorite does in our herd. Ready for breeding. Already has his inherited AGS *S award. Born Jan. 18, 2021. Registered with ADGA & AGS. More information can be found on the Goat Sales Page. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Our herd is tested free of the goat diseases CAE, CL, and Johne's. Click Photos to View in Larger Screen. We just found out that our buck Larkstone SP Grand Design *B made the 2021 ADGA Elite Buck List! He's in the 96th percentile, with a Production/Type Index 2:1 of 156, which puts him in 19th place for the highest PTI2:1 of all Nigerian bucks.
Grand's sire, Sugar Moon O Sky Pilot +*B*S, also made the Elite buck list this year, and Grand's dam, SGCH Sugar Moon RB Mine By Design 3*M, made the Elite list once again (she's been on the Elite list since 2016). Today we sent the does out to new pasture. The chicory, alfalfa, tansy, and mullein are blooming blue and purple and gold. Little Lady leaps the ditch: Music found my abandoned boots "hiding" in the grass and couldn't figure out what those strange black things were: Krebs QQ Caribou Quinn has matured into an elegant doe: The goats respect the horse's space (he's never mean--just a lot bigger), but they like keeping him in sight, especially when the grass is tall. He has a much higher vantage point than they do, so they feel secure knowing he can spot any danger: This is Krebs QQ Hope. Need to get a side photo of her--she is extremely long bodied: Caribou luxuriating in back scratches: Krebs QQ Clairissa Quinn: Krebs C Sandy: Willow looking good without her winter woolies. She's a very petite doe: And just because I snapped the photo as I walked back from taking goat photos . . . . After years of introducing (intentionally or not) many different colored and styled hollyhocks to our flowerbeds, we have ended up with a menagerie of colors growing wild. Deep burgundy, magenta, pink, yellow, white; single to fully double blossoms. One of our favorites that appeared this year is this peachy-pink double: To make a comment, press "Comments" at the top or bottom of the post.

This afternoon we worked on getting some more goat photos for the website. It was a bit of a challenge because the grass is so deep in the pasture now, that the goats disappear, but we did get some nice photos, and we caught a few interesting moments in goatdom as well . . . . Willow munching on thistles (yum): Patty Pan thinks thistles are very tasty: Eve Quinn: Little Lady, Miss Muffet, and Pumpkin (left to right) came over to say hi. I'd be thrilled if all my goats had Pumpkin's head and udder. Pumpkin and Miss Muffet are litter sisters out of Heidi, sired by QuentinQuinn. Little Lady is out of Ladylove, sired by QuentinQuinn: Finally got a decent photo of Dove (she's suspicious of cameras--you can see her hackles sticking up in this photo): Kasha looks just like her mom, Cookie, in a different color scheme: 10-year-old Heidi with her pleasant expression and "lipstick": Heidi's daughter Elise, sired by DeClaire. Really excited to see how this doe freshens next year: Peppermint looking beautiful (see more new photos of her here): Here is Whisper. She is the sweetest goat ever. Who couldn't love goats after seeing that face? To make a comment, press "Comments" at the top or bottom of the post.
