New kids arriving - reserve yours now!

In the past few years, we've had our 1st MCH,our 1st GCH, had a doe win Jr Grand at the AGS Nationals, earned our 1st AR, had 2 does make ADGA's top 10 list for DHI ,have had 2 does appraise 90 in linear appraisal and have gotten our grade A dairy license. We look forward to bright future continuing to aim for our goal of breeding goats who do well in the show ring as well as in milk production.

At Agape Oaks, we bought our 1st Nigerian Dwarf Goats in 2004 and immediately fell in love with these wonderful little goats. We added our 1st La Mancha in 2006 and love our big girls. Our goal is to breed excellent quality, structurally correct Nigerian Dwarf  & La Mancha goats for show, milk production and pets.

This started out as my son, Andrew's project and he saved his money for years to buy his goats. Now he's 15 & has lost interest but I'm hooked on these wonderful goats. I enjoy the showing, the milking, planning the breedings and the excitement when the long awaited new kids arrive. Our goats have provided us with so much entertainment, an abundant supply of milk, lots of stress relief, and we've made so many wonderful friends because of them.. They're affectionate, funny ,and very smart- we look forward to many years of fun with them as well as goat's milk and new kids in the future.

We share our 3 1/2 acres of paradise, nestled under towering oak trees right in the heart of the Dallas- Ft Worth metroplex, with our pampered herd of Nigerian Dwarf Goats and La Mancha goats and 1 special Mini Mancha . The zoo also includes Great Pyrenees dogs  who guard the goats, 1 Belgian Malinois & a Pembroke Welsh Corgi .

I keep getting asked what Agape Oaks means. Agapē (3 syllables, from Greek), means divine unconditional self-sacrificing love. It's the love shown in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life . God has shown us the amazing love in so many ways- including this wonderful herd of goats! The Oaks part is because our property is covered with magnificent oak trees

We're members of  ADGA , AGS ,  CTDGA  ,& ANDDA with most of our goats registered in both AGS & ADGA.

This is our third year on 305 day DHI milk test with both ADGA & AGS. We've enjoyed seeing the results & will continue DHI. We love to sell to buyers who will continue on milk test and will give a refund for those buyers who obtain a *D or *M with AGS or ADGA ( see sales terms for details) For 2008 we added linear appraisal as another tool to evaluate our herd and plan to continue to appraise as well. We attend as many shows as we can, both locally as well as national shows.

Our goats health is very important to us. We test routinely for CAE -our most recent negative test was Nov 2009. In the past we have also tested for TB, Brucellosis, CL & Johnnes. As I feel that a combination of dam & bottle raising provides the best for our kids that's how we've chosen to raise them. We will raise a kid on CAE prevention who's been reserved with payment in full and the kid picked up within 2 weeks of birth. We feed our goats the best sudan and alfalfa hay available along with grain, kelp and loose minerals.
