| Pearl Valley Alpines |
| GCH Pending - Pearl Valley Anakin Katelina LA 92 EEEE @ 2 Yrs. |
| Welcome! |
Pearl Valley Farm is located just outside of Cortez, in the SW
corner of CO, with the mountains on one side and high desert on
the other. We have been raising dairy goats since 1988 when we
purchased our first grade animal for the family milk supply. We
maintain a relatively small and carefully culled herd of AMERICAN
& FRENCH ALPINES, with a focus on good milk production, strong
conformation and show ability. All of my original stock comes from
the Desert-Magnolia Herd owned by Bev Hunley, formerly of
Tucson, AZ, who is a most treasured friend of mine and who has
taught me most of what I know about goats!

| ______ Health______ |
On the HEALTH SIDE OF THINGS. We are a TESTED CAE FREE HERD. Until
2000 we raised all kids on pasturized milk and heat treated colostrum
(pasturizing the previous 8 years). We purchased all our original animals
from a CAE free herd and have never had it in our herd. We test all milking
does and bucks every year, and you can click on the link above in red to see
our most RECENT CAE RESULTS. We worm regularly. We feed Alfalfa hay,
Alfalfa pellets and grain year round. Goats also graze at will on lush CO
irrigated pasture.
