| Welcome to the Web home of TLC Farms Nubian Dairy
Goats and TLC Farms Goat Milk Soaps & Body Care Products. We
are located approximately 40 miles north of Bryan, Texas on 15 acres
of rolling post oak savannah. Our "family" consists of
our herd of Nubian dairy goats, plus numerous cats, dogs, chickens,
ducks and a pair of donkeys.
Tom
and I have been raising goats since 1992. We bought our first goats
to have as pets but soon decided that showing them would be a lot
of fun, and we joined the American Dairy Goat Association in 1994.
For many years we raised both Nubian dairy goats and Boer-cross
meat goats, but in 2005 made the decision to disperse our meat goat
herd to concentrate solely on the Nubians. Our bloodlines have been
heavily influenced by Kastdemur and 4B genetics. Conformation, milk
production, and a calm disposition are all qualities we breed for.
We test annually for CAE and have had a CAE/CL
negative herd for many years. Our animals are fed a 16% concentrate
ration and Sudan hay plus free-choice minerals, and they are vaccinated
and dewormed regularly. These days, all of our kids are removed
from their dams at birth and hand raised.
In 2002, we began making goat
milk soap with the excess milk from the does, and the business
took off in a big way. Today TLC Farms goat milk soaps and other
body care products can be found in numerous stores
in South/Central Texas as well as on our website.
In 2005, I was honored to be elected to
the Board of Directors of the American Dairy Goat Association, as
an ADGA District VI Director.
