UDDER VIEW FARM is located in Columbia, “Downeast” Maine on 13 acres of pine groves, pastures, and hills by the Grand Marsh Stream. Our Oberhasli Dairy Goats love to go for walks through the trees and fields to get their daily exercise and “treats”. We have found the Oberhasli breed to be more docile than the other dairy goat breeds. We love their dispositions, gentleness, and personalities. We are members of the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA); Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIR); Heart of Maine Dairy Goat Association (HOMDGA); Southern Maine Dairy Goat Association (SMDGA), and United Oberhasli Breeders (UOB). We implement a strict CAE Prevention Program and have tested negative in 2004, 2005, 2006, and in 2007, our entire herd was again negative with exception of a recently acquired doeling from an out-of-state breeder, which did turn up positive in her initial CAE testing, and the doeling is no longer part of our herd).   We will now be doing quarterly CAE testing using both ELISA and AGID GEL testing to better monitor any conversions of our herd and positive does will also be culled.   We participate in the Volunteer Scrapie Program through the MeCHAPS (voluntary Johne’s Program through State of Maine and have tested negative in February 2006 and December, 2007.).  TB and Brucellosis testing have also been negative in December 2007.  Our herd is linear appraised annually as well as on monthly milk testing for production through (DHIA) (except in 2007) as well as by State for cheese making licensure. Our goats are fed 18% grain, beet pulp, black oil sunflower seeds, calf manna, as well as second crop grass hay and are allowed to browse. They have free choice baking soda, Golden Blend minerals, and kelp. Thank you for your interest in our goats! Alexander Family 207/483-2611 uddervu@yahoo.com
