Kecskemét, pronounced Ketch’ ka mate, is also a lovely city in Hungary, famous for their Magyar horses and Kodaly Music Institute. And it happens to mean Goat City. Since my husband was born in Hungary, we have a keen interest in music and horses as well as goats, and happen to live on Hungary Road, it just had to be our farm and herd name. I have recently created a new herd name Dovetail, for animals I own. The Kecskemet Nubians are my daughter’s herd. The name intends to mean that this new herd will fit perfectly with Eva’s. I hope to have some doe kids with the Dovetail herd name in 2012.
We working towards being on DHIR milk test this year.
Prices do not include ADGA registration fee, any cost to obtain health papers, or to run tests that a buyer requests. These costs are in addition to the price listed for each kid. We do offer discounts for group purchase and 4-H projects.
We believe strongly in the 4-H program, including leasing to a few kids each year for projects and offering a discount on sale kids for 4-H projects. Eva has aged out of 4-H – now finishing her Junior year in College! But here she is when Isis was her 4-H showmanship goat, at the Hartford County 4-H show.
Prices listed may change, although a reservation will guarantee the price.
There is a $50 deposit on kid reservations.
