NEWS:
From ADGA Jim VanDerlinde
Performance Programs Manager
American Dairy Goat Association: DNA RESULTS
  • Parentage and Genetic Marker results for PATS BLACK OAK FARM MCGIBBONY(ADG33279)
  • PATS BLACK OAK FARM MCGIBBONY PD2271962 qualifies as an offspring of LITTLE HOOFPRINTS KONA PD1718990 and PATS BLACK OAK FARM SAMSON PD2130910.
  • The DNA type for PATS BLACK OAK FARM MCGIBBONY(ADG33279) is listed as a permanent record or parentage tested and is now on file in the ADGA database
ALPHA-s1 CASEIN RESULTS for McGibbony: A/B
A and B variants are associated with a high content of alpha-s1 casein in milk. Milk with high levels of ALPHA-s1 CASEIN is said to produce a firmer curd in cheese making.
Phenotype: The gene underlying the production of alpha-s1 casein in goat's milk shows polymorphisms that affect the amount of protein and fat produced. Higher levels of alpha-s1 casein are associated with the best cheese-making.
  • Please read all about McGibbony, the offspring of famous LITTLE HOOFPRINTS KONA, who also is part of AppleJo Farms herd. Kona (McGibbony's Dam) is #1 in Top Ten MILK PRODUCTION (2130# of milk for the year) AND #1 in Top Ten Protein Production in the nation, 2021.
  • McGibbony is bred to Jitterbug and Classy thus far for the January 2024 AppleJo Farms kidding season. If solid milking and cheese production and correct confirmation are qualities you want in your herd, please email us to get on their waitlist or make reservations ASAP: applejofarms@gmail.com
  • Kona's Reservation list is already full, and we are taking Wait List applicants only, for her, at this time.
When Will Goats Milk Be Available For Sale Here at AppleJo Farms?

AppleJo Farms milking routine will begin again January 2024 in our brand new Dairy Barn Milking facility. We allow our does to raise their own kids, separating them from one another at night once the kids are eating solid feed. This provides plenty of milk for the farm family each morning and, we feel, produces healthier kids. Once kids are weaned we drop most of our does down to a once-a-day milking schedule unless the demand for milk customers requires twice-a-day milking.

New Testing is being done on all of AppleJo Farms Goats. Each goats DNA is used to perform this very important test to find out what variants our milk contains of Alpha-S1 Casein

What is Alpha-S1 Casein
The gene underlying the production of Alpha-S1 Casein in goat's milk shows polymorphisms that affect the amount of protein and fat produced. This test detects variants known to be correlated with high and low production levels of alpha-s1 casein.
Phenotype: The gene underlying the production of alpha-s1 casein in goat's milk shows polymorphisms that affect the amount of protein and fat produced. Higher levels of alpha-s1 casein are associated with the best cheese-making, and research suggests that low levels may be associated with reduced milk sensitivities for some people.
Variants:
  • E, F, N = associated with low content of alpha-s1 casein
  • A, B = associated with high content of alpha-s1 casein

2023 AppleJo Farms New Herd
I'm so proud of all of you Modern Homesteaders! People ask me why I have such top quality goats when I don't show or put them in performance programs yet. It is because I wish to support Homesteaders like you! I want all of you who want a highly productive dairy herd to be able to buy them at a reasonable fair price and flourish under your care. 
2023 has been all about finding the very best genetics in specific Dams and Bucks which have an outstanding record in Performance Programs such as the ADGA Top Ten Performance Breed Leaders List. These are leaders in Milk Production, Butterfat Productions and Protein Production. Also, other Performance Programs and ADGA National winners have factored prominently in my search of bucklings and doelings to add to my new herd in 2023. I will have 3 of these top performance does having kids available late this year. Put your Reservation or Wait List request in now to be notified when kids arrive!
Just as promised:
