B-Haven Goats
At B-Haven Farms we believe in sustainable agriculture. We try to mimic nature as much as possible. We choose a natural approach. The goal is to minimize problems like disease and inbreeding.
The does are exposed to the bucks in February. The buck kids are weened at 3 months and the doe kids at 4 - 5 months.
Our pasture is in a lower elevation, so it has good soil and good grass. As apposed to a lot of the rocky areas in the Texas Hill Country. We supplement the herd with alfalfa pellets and Hi-Pro Feed. We do periodically worm the goats and vaccinate for Tetanus. We also trim hooves once a month. But we do not use any other type of prophylactic medication. But we will use antibiotics if necessary.
We plant the pasture with cowpeas in the Spring and alfalfa in the fall. We do NOT cut or till the pasture.
