HELLO
&
WELCOME TO RHYTHMIC ACRES


We are located in Indian River, MI 49749 which is approximately 30 minutes south of
the famed Mackinaw Bridge & Mackinaw Island. We recently moved to our new
location in late September 2006.

We are currently breeding Registered Nubian, Mini-Nubian, & Nigerian goats. I have
been striving to purchase goats with lines reputable for their milk production and
conformation. We attended our first goat show in 2009 at which our Nubian buck took a
Grand Champion and our other goats did quite well considering I had no idea what I was
doing our first show LOL. We have some outstanding bucks and does here and although all
haven't yet made it to the show ring I'm confident they'll all produce high quality kids. PLEASE
NOTE I WILL ONLY LIST WINNINGS OF 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place show results on our website.
Goats may have had additional placings but will stick to these for the website.  I found the
show experience fun and thrilling and plan to attend several shows in 2010. I am also
going to look into linear appraisal in 2010 though am not yet sure I will be able to both
show and participate in that as it will depend on when it is available in MI next year.  I
am quite proud of my current goats regarding their lines, conformation, udders, and
general appearance.

If you've never had a goat...consider them as they are an animal that will always put a
smile on your face. Our animals all receive tons of love and extreme care. Everyone is
UTD on shots, they get routine grooming, free choice loose minerals, free choice sodium
bicarbonate,  and stalls and pens cleaned and maintained routinely.  All of our goats have
their stalls loaded with clean straw in the winter and all have heated water tanks.

We do have does kid in winter as we have two kidding stalls appropriately set up for this
with heat lamps etc.

Our test results are available to the public on our Herd Health page of this website. All
of our adult goats are tested as CAE free.

You will find this site is updated often as I am constantly adding to the herd and learning new
things. I'm not going to pretend to be a pro at goats yet. I'm NOT. I'm not sure I'll ever feel
confident enough to even say that LOL. :) I've learned a ton in the last few years and am eager
to keep absorbing new info.

So far I'm loving every minute of it. These breeds are a joy to be around. So WHY should you
want a goat? I've learned that goats are great for many reasons. They are hilarious pets, that
produce tasty milk, that you can also make soap with, or cheese with, or ice cream with...etc.
Now how many animals are out there that are that well rounded.  Oh and the other big plus is
they eat things such as poison ivy etc and like it with no ill effect. If you have horses the goats
prefer the weeds and horses the grass leaving you one very nice pasture. If you have never had
goats then your missing out! :)

NOTE: We do not butcher/kill goats. Don't get me wrong...I'm not against those that do. I just
personally get very attached to my own animals and thus cannot do this or sell my animals into
homes for meat. Our goats are all milkers &/or pets. Also please note that although I also
consider my goats as  pets we DO breed for milking goats of show quality and I am trying to
gather some strong milking lines in my registered herds. I've paid a high price for many of
these breeding stock animals and am working hard to ensure my herd stays healthy and clean
and all animals are tested. Thus price in their kids reflects that but if you want a quality
goat...well it just simply cannot be pet quality price if you know what I mean as I couldn't
afford to buy and breed them then.

Our goats are very loved and well cared for. Please email Rhythmic_Acres@yahoo.com with
questions.

Thanks for stopping by!
