McQuitty-Farm is a small herd of Saanens and Lamanchas located in southwest or central Ohio depending on what farm they are at although all goats have been at Bill's for the past 3 years. Our primary focus is on winning in the show ring although we feel high production and good temperaments are no less important.  Enclosed you will find pedigrees, pictures of our breeding stock and the carefully planned matings for 2012.  Although there are prices listed for all kids not all bucklings will be offered for sale, only those from carefully selected does whom we would keep and show ourselves.  This year celebrates our 31st year owning and enjoying dairy goats.

We believe that superior management is just as important as a fancy pedigree and that it allows our animals to reach their full genetic potential. The kids are taken away from their dams at birth and fed heat treated colostrum or colostrum powder and pasteurized goat milk until about three months of age.  The entire herd is fed a 16% sweet feed and alfalfa hay. Although grain is not introduced to kids until post weaning. Loose mineral, salt blocks and sodium bicarbonate is readily available at all times. Our kids are treated aggressively for coccidiosis since Ohio can be extremely wet during spring time.  We alternate dewormers and give Bo-Se and Copper boluses bi-annually. 

We show throughout the mid west and try to attend the National Show if within driving distance.  We have been extremely fortunate to have had much success at the national shows we did attend. We have bred four National Champions (all of which were BUOB or RBUOB), numerous class winners and top ten producers.  We have decided to join DHIR in 2012 so our herd can be recognized not only for its show wins but the hard work they do as well.  We couldn't’ be prouder of our herd and their accomplishments.  This year with limited showing we have finished two does and won GCH & BOB Saanen at every show we entered with Denita and Deva winning BSDIS and BUIS awards as well.

Although the majority of the kid crop is offered for sale, we do reserve the right not to offer any kid born if we decide to retain it as a herd replacement.  We require a non refundable $50 deposit to hold your choice of kid up to four weeks of age.  The deposit will be returned or transferred to another kid if we choose not to sell the kid or if the kid is not born. Vet work, shipping crates and shipping are the responsibility of the buyer and must be completed before the kid leaves the farm. We ship from various local airport although we encourage you to pick up your kid at the farm so you can see the relatives and family members of the kid you ordered. All checks should be made payable to Diana McQuitty.

There will be several adult does and the majority of the kid crop available for sale in the spring of 2012, since we already have too many as it is!  If there is no photo of an animal of particular interest please contact Bill and he will give you an honest evaluation of the animals strengths and weaknesses.  We do understand that buying an animal sight unseen can be an expensive and risky investment and we truly want you to be happy with your purchase. We do not guarantee every animal to be a show winner when they mature and so we only replace animals that are reproductively unsound. Written documentation from a licensed veterinarian of sterility will get you a replacement although shipping costs and vet work are the responsibility of the owner of the animal being replaced.  No offspring may be registered from returned animals. Once an animal leaves our possession it is the responsibility of the buyer!

I want to thank everyone who has purchased animals from us in the past and who has helped us along the way. Even though we don’t do a great deal of showing it seems we always have people willing to lend a helping hand and it doesn’t go unnoticed. 

Again, Thank you for your interest in McQuitty Farm and we hope you enjoy our web site and 2012 sales list.

Diana & Bill
