| Rising Sun Ranch is committed to breeding Savanna Goats that support the intent of the original breeders. The true value of any animal is based upon the ability for it to carry out the breed's intent for function. Savanna Goats are a beautiful and functional lower maintenance commercial goat. Savanna Goats are to be considered a mothering breed. One of the most important performance traits worth preserving of a Savanna doe is that it will rear kids without intervention. Savanna goats are non seasonal breeders. Savanna does should breed non seasonally and rear kids on forage. These performance traits are a valuable contribution to a commercial livestock organization. We chose the Savanna Goat as the base of our commercial herd. They are the sole reason we were up to 500 head last year in the southeast where goats struggle with the elements and parasites. Savannas are a performance breed and are not considered a popular show breed. Our goats undergo regular performance evaluations to determine breeding selection. Does and bucks who do not fulfill the performance standards set forth by the breed standard will not be bred for our stock or sold as breed stock. We have seen even the best breeders, of all types of animals, purchase good looking "Fullblood and Purebreds" with correct papers only to later discover an issue with the performance, function or phenotype of the breed stock. The fact that approximately 34 Savanna Goats were originally available has limited the growth of the Fullblood Savanna Goat. We feel not all breeder error is accidental and that greed appears to be the motive of some. While ethical breeders have earned the title "reputable" non-reputable breeders seem to also earn their reputations. We believe that the integrity of any animal breed must be upheld one breeder at a time. Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information of full blood or Commercial Savanna Goats. Please visit our Savanna Goats for Sale page. We are happy to continue to provide referrals to ethical breeders of both fullblood and commercial savanna goats. Please feel free to contact us for more information on breeders in your area. |
