Welcome to my herd of American Saanen, and Purebred Lamanchas

2nd Place Dairy Herd Welcome to my herd of American Saanen and Purebred Lamanchas. I’ve tried to give the most information on each of the animals you’ll see. If you are interested in getting more information on a particular animal please contact me for a further extended pedigree. My run of doe kids has gotten better and I am focusing more on line breeding with my own lines, but have also added some really nice new lines as well.
My name is Wendy Herchek and I started with dairy goats when I was 7yrs old. There was a great loss in my life on Sept 18th 2001when my mother, Malory King, passed away after a long illness. The goats were her passion and love. I was fortunate to have shared this love with her for 21 years, though not nearly long enough. Amazingly, my father, Larry, has taken over half of the herd, caring for and spoiling them. He was supposed to retire this year but thinks I will send more goats to his house so has decided to continue working, darn it. Currently my husband Michael and I are milking 170 Holsteins , and have another 70 or so dry cows and calves. Michael is the brains and the brawn and I only milk on the weekends and when the hired help has off. We are currently farming another 500 acres of corn, wheat, soybeans and the best darn alfalfa hay you will ever see. I am working off the farm as a medical billing specialist and am away from home with work and travel about 55 hours a week.
I am looking forward to 2008 with the national show being close in Kentucky and appraising the animals again. The lamancha herd is growing and they are so exciting and strong. The saanens are always strong contenders in the ring and will continue to be this year as well. I am more then pleased with the herd and the genetics within it.
Every kid born is raised on CAE prevention and never touches their dam. I am there for each and every kidding. They receive their selenium, AD&E and first CD&T shots before being sold. No kid is sold unhealthy. They get free choice top quality alfalfa hay and an 18% lamb starter at one week of age.
Sale terms are as follows: Prices quoted are at 4 weeks of age and are subject to change on any kid not pre-ordered. $5 a day will be charged on kids not picked up or shipped after 30 days of age unless other arrangements have been made. A $50 deposit is required, refundable if the choice of kid or kids is not born or transferable to another animal of buyers choice. This will hold the animal(s) of choice on a first come first served basis. A second and third choice should also be made. When the buyer is notified of the kid being born the balance payment must be received in 14 days. Foremost, our farm will have first pick of all stock. We will deliver to the Akron or Cleveland Airport free, however, health papers and all shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer must also supply a shipping carrier.
All listed breedings are subject to change due to the mood I may be in at breeding time!
Wendy
