Companies and Products We Love:

We have had several bucks collected by Blue Mountain Genetics and purchased several bucks from other breeders who've used BMT. Novella, our first successful AI in 2023, was bred with semen collected by BMT.
I know many people who love their milkers. I however have included them in this list because of how much I love their Silverline Hoof Trimmers! I bought a 3 pack because I knew they'd be taken to shows and other areas of the farm to be used for non hoof purposes (mainly by me). They stay sharp for a very long time and are unlike any other hoof trimmer I've used. Everything else is just a pair of garden shears.
I first learned about First Saturday Lime through a podcast. I use this instead of "barn lime" when I clean out the goat stalls, chicken coop, and I do a thick line around my house at the foundation every spring. It’s a user-friendly, eco-conscious alternative to traditional pesticides, designed to be safe for children and pets when used as directed. FSL effectively repels insects with exoskeletons, including ants, fleas, ticks, mites, lice, aphids, beetles, roaches, earwigs, and more. Additionally, it helps prevent mosquito growth in water sources like troughs and ponds. Many beekeepers even apply it beneath hives to deter small hive beetles. When used correctly, FSL is safe for animals of all sizes to come into contact with or have near their feeding areas.
We purchase all of our milk filters, syringes, kid/lamb feeding system and parts from Hamby.  I love the feeding system and now purchase more flexible tubing that I cut to length myself. Hamby has the best price for the grey nipples and the little green flow valves, so I buy replacements separately now. You can use square buckets or round and cut your own holes into them with a drill bit.
We have had 3 of our bulls collected by Hoffman AI Breeders and we've purchased semen stored and shipped by Hoffman.
Trimming goat hooves used to be exhausting, especially with a large herd, but the Hoof Boss has been a game-changer. It makes trimming faster, easier, and less straining. I still use trimmers for overgrown tips, but the Hoof Boss handles the detailed work efficiently. For multiple goats, it saves time without compromising quality—it’s a must-have tool!
Call 800-434-2843 at order your 840 ID microchips directly from MicrochipID. If you are a member of a livestock assocation like ADGA, MDGA, or TMGR, they will give you a discount on the 840 chips. You need to have your premise ID and flock/herd ID available or on file to get 840s. 840 ID chips are the only microchips ADGA allows for registration.
We love our Quad Goat Milker with twin buckets from Melasty. It allows us to milk 24 goats an hour as each goat takes about 6 minutes. We also have a Single Cow Milker for Hannah our milk cow. We purchased that unit used from another dairy. It had some misalignment of the plates from transporting and even though we hadn't purchased directly from Mitty, their technician worked with us to help identify the issue. 10/10 customer service!!!
I love these clippers so much, I wrote a blog post about them! They use their blades and Andis blades.

I love these Prima Heat Lamps so much, I think I will also write a blog about them!
Simple Pulse was the first milk machine we ever bought. I later purchased the newer version of the SP Basic Milking System and won a machine for a friend when I entered their contest one year. It is the machine I recommend for small and homestead milkers as well as the machine we take to shows now. Their customer service is superb. They help raise funds for shows and set up a fundraising link for a friend of mine in Ohio who lost her machine when her barn caught on fire. They are a small mom & pop company and very generous with our community. Watch my video on YouTube that won here.
We use Sticker Mule for stickers, magnets, keychains, etc. We love the quality, price, and how quickly they ship. Their staff sends proofs quickly and are willing to edit if things don't look quite right. They also do weekly deals so you can try out different products without investing in a large inventory.
