Website? Location? Owner?

Bottom line is to ask them for CAE documentation.

I'm looking at this doe

SHADY LAWN CLASSY MARIAH - L001499864 (PB Doe)
Who is bred to kid 3/15 to this buck
HURICANE-PM BASTILLE TIGER - L001503146 (PB Buck)

She is a 2 year old first freshner.

She was bred by April Hitch of Shady Lawn and sold to a fella that is now just going to concentrate on Saanens so he is selling all his other breeds.

My biggest concern, before pedigree would be health. I don't care how fabulous the pedigree, I wouldn't buy without recent health test.....CAE testing is only $4 through www.biotracking.com so if anything offer to pay to have her tested before purchase.....

As far as the goat itself, can't help you there but maybe someone can chime in soon...

SHADY LAWN CLASSY MARIAH
Dam- SG Barnowl Miki Ando 8*M
Sire- + *B SOUTH FORK SK CLASS ACT
The doe herself certainly has the genetics and background to be solid.
In the end, the test status is just as important.
Buck she is bred to (also at Shady Lawn)-
*B Huricane-PM Bastille Tiger AI
Looks like he not yet proven.

Everyone knows there are people that keep clean herds and some people to run the other way from and not get near. Some of the time you get a heads up before your encounter and that was what I was looking for. A "yeah they are great" or a "run far far away" I also know that some people buy from people with unclean herds in my area and I need to avoid them. This doe will be seperated from the other animals anyway due to her being about to kid, so I will just test her while she is in isolation.

I have seen a few of their animals, and they were beautiful. Other than that, I do not know anything about them

I looked at their web site they have some real nice goats from the looks of them . I'd say if they have test reaults go for it.
