What you'll do

First I will introduce myself and talk about where I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Eight years ago my then teenage son decided he wanted to raise dairy goats. And that started it all. Every morning and afternoon, I feed the Dottie Llama, 11 goats, a turkey and a duck, and many chickens. You are invited to join me on this morning routine. I will introduce you to each goat and tell you about about them and their story. I will also talk to you about the two breeds I raise, Oberhaslis and Nigerian Dwarfs, and explain a bit about the differences in the breeds. I will talk about the American Dairy Goat Association and what dairy goat shows are all about. If you are interested, I am an amateur, but I can talk about making goat milk soap and lotion. I will also show you the chickens and tell you about about them. I will discuss the breeds I raise. I can also talk about what it takes to have backyard chickens. Chickens are protein making machines. They are the ultimate compost machine in my opinion! We will also talk to the turkey. My tom turkey is very vocal and will come right up to you and do his turkey strut. Dottie Llama is shy, but I am working on training her to come to an enclosure. She is shy. I will explain to you Dottie's job is to keep the predators away - coyotes. She has been on the job 5 years.

Dianne

I raise dairy goats registered with the American Dairy Goat Association for show, heritage breed red bourbon turkeys, and a breed of bantam chicken known as the Mille Fleur. I have a master's degree in Agricultural Science and have served as a 4-H Leader. For the past two years, my goats won first place at the Colorado State Fair Dairy Goat Obstacle Course. I only breed 1 to 2 goats a year striving to achieve dairy goats with the best features for show. I base my breedings on genetics obtained from the American Dairy Goat Association.

"The experience takes place in a lot in Los Almaos, New Mexico, where all the animals live. I will talk a little bit at the beginning about the history of Los Alamos and how our community started during WWII with the Manhattan Project. I will also tell you a bit about the geography of the area. Next I will walk onto my lot and start the animal introductions."
