Dixie-Does Dairy
Goats
Dixie-Does is a
small herd of dairy goats established in 1994 by
a team of brothers and sisters. The goats now
reside in Dayton TN. Our farm is also home to
Dixie-Soaps, we produce luxurious goat milk soaps
and other bath and body products.

The farm is also home
to Dixie-Does Kennel, breeding Pembroke Welsh
Corgis.

Our herd presently consists of French and American
Alpines. We have been raising dairy goats
since 1994.
Although our herd is
small, our goals and standards are not. We are
breeding for structurally correct, elegant dairy
does with excellent udders that excel in the show
ring and the milk parlor.
We are not on test,
but we do weigh each doe’s milk at each milking and
keep accurate barn records. Heavy production is
important to us, as well as the strength to sustain
that production.

We had the
opportunity to purchase two bred doelings from Kathy
Evans and Susan Calahan of Waiilatpu in November
2000. These lovely does, Maire and Gabriela,
are the foundation of our herd. Both does are
now permanent champions, both have appraised
excellent twice, both have Best In Show wins, and
both have lactations over 3000 lbs.
We greatly admire
their beauty, productivity, and their ability to
pass these traits to their offspring.
Since then we have
added several does and bucks from Waiilatpu. We are
so grateful to Kathy and Susan for making these
exceptional animals available to us.
In 2005, we added two
bucks from the Nestor Acres herd and a lovely
yearling doe from Munchin Hill. We look forward to
seeing the impact these animals will make on our
breeding program.
We would like to
thank Kathy and Susan, Jeff, Pat, and Christen, and
Cheryl for allowing us to purchase some of their
lovely Alpines. Our most recent purchase was *B
Cherry Glen Tito Purcell. Thank you Wayne and Diane!


Our herd enjoys a
high standard of health. Orchard grass hay, alfalfa
hay, alfalfa pellets, kelp,
and minerals are made available free choice. We feed
a hand mixed grain to our does and bucks. Our grain
consists of whole grains, sunflower seeds, etc. We
strive to provide excellent nutrition for optimal
herd health and milk quality.

The goats have a
large pasture that ensures they receive plenty of
exercise. All goats are vaccinated with CD/T and
receive Bo-Se regularly. We regularly test for CAE,
Brucella, and TB, and we are part of the Scrapie
Prevention Program,
Births are attended
and kids are removed from their dams immediately.
Kids are raised on a CAE prevention program being
bottle-fed with heat treated colostrums and fed
pasteurized milk in a lambar. The kids are also fed
a coccidiostat grain and treated with Co-Rid.

We show in GA, IN,
KY, MD, NC, OH, PA, SC, VA, and WV. In 2007, we finished
Eva and Priority and had many memorable moments in the show
ring. We were thrilled to be very competitive in
group classes this year, even winning Best Herd in
Show several times!

Also
in
2007, we organized and hosted an open ADGA show, the
Third Annual Fall Fuzzy Show. We would like to
thank each of you that attended and made our show a
success. Please join us again next year! We’ll be
hosting the Fall Fuzzy Show again in 2008 . We also
hosted
a second ring at the NRV Fair Show on July 31, 2007.
A
look back on 2008....
2008 began on a very sad note, with the passing of our
beautiful and beloved GCH MonaLisa. MonaLisa had quite
the fan club and was popular everywhere she went. Her
untimely death was a difficult blow emotionally and a
major loss for our breeding program.
We
still miss Mona but the last year watching her
descendants mature into outstanding animals has helped
to fill the hole she left behind. We are also delighted
to welcome three maternal sisters into the herd, born
12-21-08!
With
a small and young show string we managed to finish
championships on a homebred mother–daughter duo, Abbey
Road and Antoinette!
