The Whiteheads
      I thought that I would tell you something about us. I am Sandra and my husband is Gary. We
 are both on the down side of hopefully a VERY long hill. Gary has been a letter carrier for over
 twenty years. He keeps talking about retiring, but then I remind him that the goats have to eat. I
have been a teachers aide also more then twenty years. In that time I have worked with mentally
 and physically handicapped children from the ages of 13 to 21. Now, I work in an elementary
 school working with first thru fifth graders. I work with a computer program that helps
 students with reading problems. I work with around sixty students everyday.
     We have three sons, two daughter-in-laws, and three perfect grandchildren. 
 

 The Farm
      So, Gary and I decided we wanted to move to the country for a nice quiet country life.
 (That was before goats, roosters, and our neighbors ducks). So we moved to a small farm
 in a community called Nemo, It is between Cleburne and Glen Rose. We have five
 acres with lots of native pecan trees, and a dry creek that we sometimes get to see
 water in. From the time that we moved here till now we have gone from eight goats
 to around fifty, around thirty free-roaming chickens, three guard dogs, one spoiled
 Corgis named Daisy, five mini rex rabbits, and too many cats. So much for the nice
 quiet country life.

 Breeding Goats
We started in the summer of 2000 with just eight goats to have fun with, but then we
 went to a goat show and we were hooked. So, we decided that was the direction
  that we wanted to go. So, we searched websites, studied the breed, and
learned how to cull. Of course, the hardest was the culling. We then brought
 in goats from such farms as Twin Creeks, Piddlin Acres, and Goodwood. We   
 wanted our goats to have conformation, dairy character, and  well- supported
 udders. I also learned that I enjoyed milking so I wanted does that were easy 
 to milk. I just attended a milk testing class, which I hope to put to use soon.
 We are working hard at trying to breed productive stylish goats that meet the
 standards of a Nigerian. We want our goats to be productive and competitive in the
 show ring.  We are very pleased and excited about our breeding program so for and
 would love for you to come visit our farm in Nemo, Texas. If you don't see anything
 on our farm we would be glad to help you visit some other farms in our area. There
 are several good goat farms within our area.
