IR-Ranch Dairy Goats
Originally Established in 1994
taken over by our daughter in 2015
Second Generation of raising dairy goats
Meet the Landes Family
I started raising goats with my family, Dennis Herrell and Family, in 1994 located near Galveston, Indiana. We showed our goats throughout the nation and were very competitive. My parents sold the herd in 2007 all except 2 alpines and 2 Nubians. We couldn't get the Nubians bred through AI but did the one Alpine. Which gave us our start to our herd. Now since I married John Landes, we have taken over the Alpine goat from the original herd and started in 2016 creating a herd from her. We live on a 3 acre farm with our three children and our dairy goats near Walton, Indiana.
Breeds of Goats that reside on our Farm
We would like to thank you for your interest in our herd. We have a select herd of French Alpines, LaManchas and Purebred Nubian. The selectiveness of our breeding program helps to provide an elegant, graceful, competitive, and productive dairy animal.
The vet comes out to look over the dairy goats and test for CAE annually.
All of our kids are bottle raised. They also get treated with Corrid for coccidia prevention. The kids are raised on a special mix of grain from our local feed mill and top-quality alfalfa hay from our local farmers at Forgey's Custom Hay since 1994.
