These Saanen does are part of Jonathan Merkle's 17-head
goat herd.

she said. “It tastes just like cow’s
milk and it’s naturally
homogenized.”
Milk not used by the Merkles is
fed to the other young livestock,
including the kid goats.
The goats are fed oats, com,
soybean meal and baking soda.
The soda, Jon explained, helps
raise the butterfat content by
neutralizing stomach acids. The
ration is topped off with vitamins
and minerals.
Breeding is done naturally from
October to January, and does are
bred when seven months old. The
Merkles have used some artificial
insemination, but said they prefer
natural breeding.
Jon, with future plans to major
in pre-veterinary science, spends
about two hours daily working with
his dairy goats and other FFA
projects. This he does as well as
participating in other FFA ac
tivities and swimming on the
varsity team.
In the future, Jon plans to keep
his herd size about the same. His
goal is to breed better animals.
“It’ll be a challenge to see if I can
breed better animals,” he said.
