Our story begins with my three daughters, Olivia, Emma, and Molly
wanting to learn about farm animals. I found a local 4-H goat
group and the girls joined. We all fell in love with goats
and showing but the 4-H group disbanded shortly after we
joined and I felt too new to goats to just jump right in and
get one. Over the next year or so my girls would kid me
and say "Come on Mom we have to go milk the goats this morning,
Oh that's right we don't have any goats!" I could tell
that they just had to have goats but I didn't like the
large size of the Nubians we had been working with. I then found
Nigerian Dwarf goats and felt that they were the perfect
match for us. We started with two twin does from Kids
Corral (thanks Carol and Duane). We joined New England
Nigerian Dwarf Association, went to AGS shows and we had a wonderful
time. Goat people are so friendly and getting help and advice
was so easy. When we had our first kids born I felt it was
only right to name our herd Sisters Three, after my
daughters who got me involved with this little milking breed.
We also began Caprine Kids 4-H goat club and now have other
families interested in goats.
Sisters Three is a small eight acre farm located in Mendon,
Massachusettes near the Rhode Island and Connecticut borders.
Our animals are registered with the American Goat Society(AGS)
and the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA). I have only
purchased CAE free animals and continue testing annually.
I follow a preventitive health plan of immunizations and
sound nutrition. We do small selective breedings for
spring kidding and hope to produce dairy and show
quality animals. Please check our kidding page for spring babies. |
