*Second Annual Janet L.B Duesler Scholarship Essay contest*

In 1982 my grandma, Janet Duesler, founded our herd, Hackmatack LaMancha. The first doe she bought was a registered Lamancha named R4 Acres V Evelyn. As unbelievable as it sounds every doe in our herd can be traced directly back to Evelyn. Grandma Janet had a dedicated passion for improving the LaMancha breed as a whole and spent countless hours seeking out top quality LaMancha genetics. The qualities she valued most were longevity, excellent milk production over a lifetime, and success in the show ring. As a pioneering dairy goat farmer in the 1980’s, goat vets were few and far between. Consequently, Grandma Janet researched and successfully practiced conventional and holistic treatments. The phrase “cull until you cry” could possibly have been invented by Janet Duesler herself. If not the phrase, then the concept itself. She had a very select herd and kept only the best does born on the farm. In this way, she continued to improve her herd and contribute to the development of the LaMancha breed. Sadly, she passed away in 2009 after a long battle with cancer. In honor of her, we are holding a youth essay scholarship contest. We would like the scholarship to go to someone who embodies the same qualities and goals for their herd as she did. Through this scholarship we want to encourage young dairy goat farmers to use the animal they purchase from us to improve their herd and the LaMancha breed as a whole. The winner will receive 50% off of a gorgeous doe kid born 5/19/23.

I went for my first long walk with our retained pup, Hiraeth.

She’s fearless and adventuresome!
Smart and obedient, too. She even stopped harassing the kitty and came right to me. (Leave it!) 😂😂

Happy New Year from all of us at Hackmatack Lamanchas and Tillaboro Oechard Border Aussies 🎉

As always, it was a year of ups and downs and lots of laughter and tears. Lessons were learned and friendships were strengthened.

We had lots of healthy kids born this Spring, including 3 absolutely stunning does who were all retained. Our herd once again excelled at the Orleans County Fair, with Shimmer going BDIS and Best Udder. Shimmer and I also won Master Dairy Goat showman, and I went onto compete in our fairs round robin style Grand Master Showman. I got Reserve! This fall we had the opportunity to bring in a absolutely stunning buck from Little-Walnut Farm! We have lots of does bred, and most reservations are still open. Feel free to check out our newly updated website for more info!

This fall we bred our first litter of Border-Aussie puppies! Lass gave birth to 10 beautiful, healthy puppies. These pups were a perfect combination of their parents and are great farm dogs! We also might’ve kept one….she’ll get a formal introduction at a later time! P.S, we’re having another litter in the Spring.

Oh, and we bought a beefer! Introducing Reba Ribeye!

be bred within the next month to freshen in May.

Somehow in the craziness of life I haven’t introduced our junior does! First up is Hackmatack’s KP PS I STILL LOVEU.
This stunning chocolate doe is so feminine and dairy. She will remain dry this year. I look forward to seeing her freshen Spring 2024.

I figure it’s about time to formally introduce our senior herdsire, Hackmatack’s Numenor Pride. This gentle giant was sired by Little Orchard TT Everest and out of Willowbrae Silver Penny. Although I didn’t originally plan on keeping him, the older he got the more I knew I needed him as part of my breeding program. If you are interested in a kid out of him, please PM Brilyn Rebisz.

Animals pictured below are part of my breeding program or already sold. Not for sale.
