**MIDWEST BUCK CONFINEMENT TEST 2009**

Start evaluating the boys in your herds. Our closest buck test is being offered in Illinois, by Western Illinois University (in Macomb, IL). The 2009 test will compare bucks for average daily gain, feed efficiency, scrotal circumference, rear leg circumference, rib-eye area, and fat as well as evaluation of hoof growth and parasite load. Any meat goat bucks born between Feb 20—Apr 20 are available to participate. Test runs from July 25—Oct 16 with a seminar and buck pick-up following on Oct 25. Bucks must be delivered to the test facility on July 18th. Charge to participate: $100. For more information, email wiu-bucktest@attglobal.net.

A Little About Us

Greetings. We are a small farm located in northeastern Wisconsin, approximately 45 minutes south of Green Bay and 1.5 hours north of Milwaukee. Our animals are vaccinated once a year for CD&T. This is the only vaccination they receive. They are also wormed approximately four times a year. Ivomec (injection) is our choice of wormer.  We are a CAE, CL, and Soremouth free farm. We run a 30-50 doe herd (it fluctuates). Our commercial animals can be found as far north as Munising, MI and as far south as Mexico, as well as across the Midwest and on Washington Island.
