Welcome to Cherry Butte Dairy goats! We are located in the beautiful Emmett Valley in Southern Idaho. Looking to the north, we have a view of the beautiful butte and to the south, we see what is left of the once bountiful fruit orchards - thus our herd name was born!
Our herd, like so many others, started when our oldest son joined 4-H and chose the dairy goat project - he has since become interested in other pursuits but his little brother is becoming quite the showman as well and is in his third year of 4-H.
Zach chose Nubians and added a grade Saanen doe to his herd, while Aaron is raising both standard and mini Alpines and mini-Toggenbergs. Together, they breed about a dozen does each fall.
Our kids are hand-raised on heat-treated colostrum and pasturized milk. We do feed by lambar but our kids are handled daily and love attention.
We feed quality alfalfa hay and offer free-choice salt and minerals. We worm on a rotating basis with Ivomec and Safeguard for goats. Each animal is also vaccianted anually with CD&T and/or Calvary 9 and BoSe.
