Hey! I’m Emily Reed. Nice to meet you! I breed a few kinds of goats, ducks, chickens, and turkeys. I am an ADGA Plus member located in Silex, MO. I started with goats in 2020 and have really developed my breeding program after loving the world of goats. In 2023, I signed up for my first year of milk testing and linear appraisals. It was a HUGE learning experience. I should have 2 goats earning awards for their 2023 lactations with the ANDDA (Blizzard and Bella for their butterfat). I am so excited for 2024! Here we go! I am very proud of my stock and hope to make the best breeding decisions for them by embracing their best traits and selecting sires to take my girls closer to my goals of goats with high production, butterfat percentage, and conformation. Our Nigerian Dwarves and Nubians are registered with the ADGA. My Mini Nubians are registered with the MDGA. I purchased my first tank for AI for 2024 and will begin artificially inseminating a few does in 2024. I plan to also collect my bucks the fall of 2024 and may offer straws from them later. You will likely be able purchase straws to AI your does if any bucks catch your eye!

I enjoy breeding quality poultry as well. See my Lavender Ameraucanas, Welsummers, Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhaubens, and Double Laced Barnevelders. My Welsummers are from very nice quality dark egg laying lines comparable to dark producing Marans. I plan to become NPIP certified and ship hatching eggs in 2024.

I might not always have kids available. Feel free to ask! While I aim for high quality goats, my goats also make great pets and walking buddies to well researched owners. I will be selling males as pet quality wethers unless they are excellent sires that I would use in my own breeding program. That means only my best will be going as registered bucks, and most will be companions. Goats are NOT a good impulsive buy! Most of my goats are show quality and carry the potential of good production with high butterfats. They are sold up to date on CDT (if old enough), disbudded, and tattooed (if old enough). Most wethers will be too young to band here and sold as bottle babies. Wethering them will make them far better pets and is up to the responsibility of the buyer. I will band any bucklings 8 weeks old or older going as wethers. I can work with a buyer for transportation. Some options may be more affordable than you think! I can hold goats until 8 weeks with a deposit, but I prefer to sell kids as bottle babies because I have so many kids. See my kidding pages and for sale page for more information!

I also have a small YouTube channel to keep in touch with my small following of people as I grow and learn. I am not very active with it at the moment. I have a quirky sense of humor and try to use my Creative Writing English degree to fuel my video editing (sparsely).  I created R Corner Ranch L.L.C. in the summer of 2022 and hope to do some nice things under that business name (I say this eyes full of optimism).
