pronounced "HOE-ann-boo", derived from the first 2 letters of each of my names: HOlly ANn BUroker Welcome to HOANBU DAIRY GOATS! HOANBU Dairy Goats was established by Holly Buroker and family in 1988 in rural Logan County in West Central Ohio. This small 3-breed herd (Nubians, Alpines, & Saanens) has come a long way from the more- than-humble beginnings of 2 grade does to breeding approximately 38 homebred permanent champions... and counting! Averaging just 12 to 15 milkers, the entire herd, both then and now is solely comprised of homebred mature does, all of whom descend from those first 2 unregistered grade does (the start to my American Alpine and American Saanen herds), and a single purebred Nubian doe kid purchased in 1990 (the start of my purebred Nubian herd). We pride ourselves in the fact that Hoanbu has long been a "breeder" of quality dairy goats and not a "buyer". We continue to breed beautiful, quality dairy goats today. Over these many years, Hoanbu Dairy Goats have been awarded countless show wins and permanent champions along with numerous stars and pluses for production, and have sold animals who have done the same for their new owners. We attend as many shows as we can (11 show locations in each 2006 and 2007, and 13 show locations in 2008, 12 in 2009, 11 in 2010, and 8 in 2011 which does not count for the individual judges we saw at the double, triple, and quad-ring shows). We Linear Appraise annually as well as participate in one-day milk tests, and standard DHI testing for proof of type and production. We look forward to going to more shows and receiving further production records to continue to prove our animals. We strive to produce highly productive, show quality animals in each of the three breeds we keep. Hoanbu Nubians are based on the genetics of older Winterberry, Briarwood and Hallcienda lines combining with the newer Wingwood Farm, Lakeshore Farms and Kastdemur lines. Hoanbu Alpines are based on older Sodium Oaks, Nodaway and Missdees lines with recent additions of Olentangy and Redwood Hills, while my Hoanbu Saanens have faithfully followed McQuitty Farm and Windsor Manor lines and more recently, Loughlin's and Cherrypines. For 11 straight years, Hoanbu kids were raised on a strict pasteurization program to prevent the animals from getting the CAE virus (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis virus). After consecutive annual whole-herd negative CAE tests (last whole herd test done Nov 2011), we allowed kids to nurse, but soon realized that dam raised kids are far too hard to handle for a show herd. We hand-raised kids on milk from tested-negative does for a couple years. In the coming year, we will again hand-raise kids on pasteurized milk from our tested CAE-negative herd. Additionally, the Hoanbu herd is now and always has been abscess-free, including CL. Being from Ohio, a TB and Brucellosis-free state, we are free of those diseases as well. Reserve your 2012 HOANBU kid now! Orders are currently filling.... You can still reserve your own HOANBU buck for 2012 by contacting us at (937) 441-0607 or email at hoanbu@hotmail.com . Doe kid orders are now full for 2012. Be sure to put "goat" or a breed or what you are looking for in the subject line so I don't miss you. In order to keep the small, select herd that we do, we usually have some nice milkers for sale after kidding as we can't keep as many as we freshen. This will be especially true in 2012. This website-building adventure is a learning experience in progress, so be sure to check back soon for additions and updates. There's lots to look at and read, so get comfortable and stay awhile! Be the FIRST to get the latest and greatest about the Hoanbu herd when you visit us on Facebook on our Hoanbu Dairy Goats farm page. Be sure to "like" us when you stop by! We wish you much success, health & happiness in the upcoming year! |
