Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breeder Bios: Liz & Jon Etheridge - Coat Creek Farms
Q: If you guys could go back to 2016, when Jon pulled up with 17 goats in the back of a borrowed trailer, and give yourself one piece of advice, what would you tell yourself?
Both guests say they would find a mentor early, learn from experienced breeders and seek guidance on goals, genetics and important early decisions.
Breeder Bios: Liz & Jon Etheridge - Coat Creek Farms
Q: If you could describe your ideal dairy goat, what would she look like and what qualities are most important to you?
Liz describes a feminine goat with a long neck, a deep and wedge-shaped body, angularity and a beautiful mammary system. Jon jokes about preferences such as being polled, moon-spotted and having wattles, but says their tastes are similar.
Breeder Bios: Evie Harry - Evie's Dairy Goats
Q: If you were to summarize your breeding philosophy briefly, what would you say that looks like?
Harry says she breeds for the goats she wants to milk and live with, valuing hardy, long-lived animals with good temperaments. She also aims to sell good goats so other herds can benefit from her breeding program.
Breeder Bios: Evie Harry - Evie's Dairy Goats
Q: What are the things you weigh most heavily when you're making a breeding decision?
Harry prioritizes phenotype, considering the doe's strengths and weaknesses and looking for a buck that can complement or correct them. She assesses the buck's dam, granddam and sisters, then reviews the pedigree for shared ancestors.
Breeder Bios: Kelley Hines - Here Be Goats
Q: How do you decide which bucks to keep or lease, and how long do you typically keep a buck in your program?
Her approach is pragmatic: she often uses bucks on a lease or keeps them only for a limited time, prioritizing the daughters' performance and the overall compatibility of their line with her herd, and she avoids long-term inbreeding beyond a 15% coefficient.
