We now have a new genetic line at Spruce Haven Farms!
Liberty Saul:
Our Cashmere Goat Herd
We purchased our original starter herd from Diane Thompson’s Riversong herd, in Nazko, BC. We where so impressed with them that when the herd came up for sale in the fall of 2007, we just had to bring them home!
We are committed at preserving the quality the cashmere produced by these amazing animals while exploring other marketing opportunities for the herd. We are thrilled to have Diane Thompson as our personal mentor and consultant. Her years experience knowledge on breeding quality cashmere will be a valuable asset to guide us in this up and coming Canadian industry.
Our Does
We presently have over 60 cashmere does in our breeding herd. Most of them supply us with a good commercial cashmere and are also wonderful mothers to our new “kids” on the block! Let us introduce you to some of the more renowned residents of the farm.
RSC EVE
RSC Eve
Eve received top honors in numerous competitions in 2008 and 2009
