We raise American Toggenburg and Saanen dairy goats. We are not a commercial dairy. Our goats are disease free and regularly tested. We have a closed herd and practice biosecurity to maintain a healthy herd. CAE prevention is practiced on the farm. We use our goat’s milk to make our own cheese, sherbet and use the milk in our goat’s milk soaps. All of our goats wear bells from Switzerland. This recreates my favorite part of Switzerland which is the regular sound of bells from every region. Our historical goats are yet another example of what a family run farm that Swiss Frau really is!
We have a variety of Swiss bells for the goats. This bell is called a treicheln. It is bronze and fabricated in Switzerland. This is my favorite goat bell. There are at least five different styles of bells used here and they all have a different sound. I can tell who is who by the sound of the bells. I always know where my goats are and whether they are grazing contentedly or running in fear of something. The queen goat (Morning Glow Rose of Sharon, AKA Rosli) wears a hand crafted bell that I bought at the Olma which is the Swiss agricultural festival in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The yearlings wear the high pitched distance bells. We even have baby Swiss bells to get the young doelings used to the sound and experience of wearing a bell. Only in Switzerland can I find replacement parts for the bells and the variety of sizes and sounds and styles.
