Critton Creek Farm (CCF) raises and sells hardy pureblood Spanish goats and high-quality Savanna crosses. Our herd rotates through rolling pastureland in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, 30 miles southwest of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The goats feed on a mix of native grasses, legumes, vines, and briars, with hay and grain provided as needed through the winter.
Our breeding program aims to produce hardy kids with distinctive breed characteristics who promise to be good mothers or productive bucks.
All of our 2011 stock has been sold. Please go to our pages describing our Spanish goats and Savanna crosses to learn about our breeding program and plans for the 2012 kidding season.
If you are interested in strengthening your meat goat program with hardy does or bucks at reasonable prices, helping preserve heritage breeds, managing your land in an environmentally friendly way, or just adding an attractive and fun animal to your property, please contact us.
History
CCF began operations in 2009 with the goal of building a distinctive herd of high-quality Spanish and Savanna purebloods who could rotate sustainably through our pastures and be managed selectively using on-farm productivity testing. By the end of 2010, our herd had grown to more than 40 goats and we had sold all of the available kids and adults. In early 2011, we continue to breed pureblood Spanish goats and have shifted our focus from pureblood Savannas to Savanna crosses.
