LazyLadyFarm's Herd Catalog

<body> <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>  <p> <font size="2"><b>TheLine Up<br> </b>Lazy Lady Farm is a herd of Registered Alpine Dairy Goats started over 23 years ago. I started with a herd of one registered Nubians. As the herd slowly grew, I realized that with the shorter lactation of the Nubies my herd was spending more time on welfare than it should. In 1997, with an eye toward doubling the herd average I had the great fortune of meeting Cathy Mabie of  <a class="clock" href="http://roeburn.net/reference.html"> Roeburn Farm</a> .  She has been breeding great animals since 1976 and now has 23 permanent champion does. She gets maximum milk production from girls that show really well. That was it for me. I sold most of my 12 Nubians and switched the herd over to Cathy's fine Alpines.  By now all of my bloodlines run from these does bringing a significant  improvement to the bottom line of my cheese operation.</font> </p> <p>Having learned a valuable lesson I kept an eye out for good bucks and found them out West. In 2006 and 2007 I flew in two bucks,  Andy and Sting, from a great breeder in Oregon. Pat Morford of  <a class="clock" href="http://threeringfarm.com/old%20pages/index.htm"> Three Rings Farm</a> strives for great looking animals and lots of milk production. Spend some time with the lineage records on our site and you will understand.</p> <p>Finally this year brought yet another buck  from out West, Tom. Located on a 5 acre ranch at 6700 ft. in Colorado,  <a class="clock" href="http://mammkey.com/awards.htm"> Mamm-Key Farm</a> strives to maintain a rolling herd average of over 3000 pounds. I am really anxious to see what Tom's offspring will bring.</p> <p><b>About Us<br> </b>Lazy Lady Farm has been certified organic since 1987. We now milk 40 registered does. Lazy Lady Farm is a cheese operation, which prevents us from getting these fine girls into the show ring, but this should not stop you should you wish to do so. We strive for great looking animals, great milk production and great health to keep this small farm viable. Lazy Lady Farm Cheese can be found all over Vermont, New England, New York City and  Chicago. We have been featured in the New York Times Magazine and won several awards at the American Cheese Society competitions.</p> <p>The herd is meticulously managed in order to produce such quality cheeses. They are pastured in the summer, May through October, using intensive rotational grazing. We make our own hay. Our grain is purchased from Green Mtn. Feeds in Bethel, Vt., who create our own particular ration. The goats are offered plenty of minerals to create a healthy and vital animal. The herd is CAE free which is a plus for us, the animals, and more importantly you. This disease is deadly and a heart breaker for any owner. We are pleased to offer this to you.</p> <p>Lazy Lady Farm's herd is one of Vermont's best kept secrets. I have been working for decades trying to create such a consistent and productive herd of working girls. If I didn't live in the cheeseroom I would be out there showing them off. It brings me great pleasure to work with them. I am sure that what I have to offer will be equally rewarding for you.</p> <p><b>Contacts</b> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="700"> <tr> <td width="432"><font size="2">Lazy Lady Farm, 973 Snyderbrook Rd., Westfield, Vt 05874    802 744 6365</font></td> <td width="94"><A class="clock" title="e-mail Laini" href="mailto:laini@sover.net"><font size="2">Laini...</font></A></td> <td width="168"><A class="clock" title="send comments to the webmaster" href="mailto:shaw@sover.net"><font size="2">Webguy...</font></A></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> A great place for 4H, 4 H, 4-H to find show goats. </body>
