Champion dairy goats

Champion dairy goats

This picture represents 29 of our ADGA Permanent LaMancha Champions (the last 3 are still pending ADGA notification). Each one carries the Forrest Pride herd name and is a product of our breeding program. Many of these animals carry the designation of Superior Genetic Champion (SGCH), meaning they have placed in the top 15% Production/Type Index (PTI) ranking for their breed.

The oldest, in the top left corner, was born 1998, she is CH Forrest Pride Venus' Milky Way, a grand daughter of our very first grade LaMancha doe and the dam of our Multiple Best Doe in Show winner:
SGCH Forrest Pride Milky's Legacy LA 92 EEEE, pictured left with her Champion daughter GCH Forrest Pride Legacy's Victoria, followed by her Grandaughter, GCH Forrest Pride Forever Victory.

The Incredible MOBY is also very well represented in most of these animals.

Twenty eight years of a very successful breeding program is represented here.

Special Tribute

In the spring of 2007 a very special doe was born on this farm. She was the product of an AI breeding to a well known Elite sire and our very best doe at the time and the cornerstone of the herd "Moby". This beautiful solid white doeling became known as SGCH Forrest Pride She Will Charm U and she easily lived up to that name. The story of Charm U is known by many in the dairy goat world, and it will die with those who know it. I will not publish it on my website, but suffice to say, it became one of those turning points in my life and forever changed my view of the industry going forward in ways I needed to see and understand.
The old saying, what does not kill you makes you stronger, has been true for both this special doe and myself.

Charm U passed away at the age of 15 - She is missed and will never be forgotten.

The Forrest-Pride dairy goat herd is located on our 120 acre farm in the beautiful hills and forest of the Missouri Ozarks. The dairy goat herd consists of about 20 quality does and bucks, bred for consistency in health, longevity, temperament, milk production and show. Health is #1!
We have been selectivly breeding for dairy goats who excel in longevity and milk production, goats which are a joy to handle every day in the milk room and out in the pasture, does who kid easy and have high resistance to parasites. We select for a mild temperament, easy to hand milking does with good tasting milk. While this is a show herd, the primary desire for raising these animals is for the products they produce and being able to reproduce and improve the genetics of these animals which will fit well into family farms, for children and families to enjoy well bred, healthy dairy goats and have fresh raw milk for consuming, making cheese, ice cream etc.

We test annually for CAE and can provide our results going back well over 20 years. Our 2025 results can be found here Click here to view our recent CAE neg. results.

Our herd is also free and always has been, of contagious abscesses (CL) and Johnes (wasting disease) All new dairy goats entering the herd are isolated and tested, prior to joining the rest of the herd.

As we head into our 30th year raising dairy goats, we are keeping our goals focused on breeding for a total dairy goat, not just a pretty show doe, but a doe who can sustain a long, healthy and productive life as well as be a joy to handle and have in the herd.
We select only the very nicest buck kids from our best does to sell as herdsires. All of our buck kids are sold registered with ADGA and DNA submitted as part of their sale price.

On every doe's page that was on test and appraised you will see a DHIR record as well as Linear score at the description. The DHIR Record will look something like this:
2-00 228 1977 3.9 78 3.3 65 (in prog), this translates to 2 years at freshening, milked for 228 days, made 1977 lbs of milk, with a 3.9% of Butterfat yield (78 lbs) and 3.3% Protein yield (65 lbs) "in prog" means that this lactation in still in progress. The Linear score will look like this: LA 3-03 FS 90 VEEE, which translates to being appraised at 3 years and 3 months of age, with a final score of 90 out of a possible 100 and a break down of a "V" (85-89 points) for General Appearance and an "E" (90 and above) for the categories in the order of Dairy Character - Body and Mammary.
DHIR testing and Linear Appraisal have both been wonderful learning experiences, and we hope to continue with them in the years to come.

Terms of sale:
A $100. deposit, will reserve a kid until notification of birth, at which time 50% of the remaining balance is due with the other 50% due at time of pickup or shipping - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Dairy goat kids are held until the age of 4 weeks, at which time they can be shipped or picked up at the farm.
Kids which are not able to be picked up or shipped, due to the buyer's situation by 4 weeks of age, will cost a boarding fee of $25 a week until the kid can be picked up or shipped to you.
Kids that must be shipped because of long distance, or in the case of 2 or more kids to pick from, a video can be provided, depicting the kids conformation and health, before the kid is to be shipped or picked up.

Buck kids out of first fresheners, will only be sold if the dam freshens with a beautiful, soundly attached mammary system and I feel her buck will be an improvement to the breed. We do not market buck kids from young does, they must be pre-ordered or spoken for shortly after birth.
ALL buck kids sold will be registered prior to sale with ADGA, and DNA sample submitted through ADGA's DNA program, this is included in the listed price for the buck kid.
If the kid from your chosen breeding is not born or is not of the quality that I feel should be sold for breeding or show purposes, your deposit will be refunded or transferred to another breeding.
A $75 fee will be necessary to cover the health check and mileage to the airport if the kid is to be air shipped. Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.

As breeder, we reserve the right to retain any kid born for our own breeding program, regardless of prior deposit. Deposit will of course be refunded or transferred at buyer's discretion. We also retain the right to refuse sale to anyone that we do not feel will provide adequate care to the animal.

I hope you enjoy the site and the type of dairy goats we are striving to produce, if you have any questions, please send us an email or Facebook PM, we no longer take phone calls, unless prior contact has been made regarding what you are looking for.
