Welcome

Thanks for visiting us on our web home.

We raise our Spanish Goats in Oregon, just outside McMinnville. At Cozine Springs Ranch we raise our 100% Heritage Spanish Goats on pasture graze of grass and clover. They browse on a variety of forbes throughout the 283 acre ranch. They are never given antibiotics unless they are being treated for an illness and our animals are all steroid and hormone free.

They are fed fresh grass hay and 14% all stock feed during weather spells where there is little or no graze. They are not fed out on grains or corn. The water they drink is from pure,cold natural springs and wells. They have lots of room to graze and are never crowded.

Our Heritage Spanish Goat herd is a CAE and CL free, closed herd.To learn more about CAE disease Click Here. To learn more about CL disease Click Here

There is another disease that can devastate your herd. It is more rare than CAE and CL but you should be aware of it. The disease is Johne's disease.(pronounced Yo-Nees). Suzanne W. Gasparotto has a great article on her website that I am going to share with you. To read what she has to say Click Here

Jack and Anita Mauldin raise bore Goats and have a really great chart of goat diseases and possible treatments. You can see it on their website by Clicking Here.

Spanish goats make an excellent meat goat, brush goat and a great pet goat. They are easy to care for and a delight to watch grow.

As a Brush Goat the Spanish goat will walk through knee high grass to get to a brush pile. They eat brush in a browsing manner. They won't stand and eat in the same place until a plant is completely gone. They browse through the brush and keep going back until the brush is consumed. They will eat grass when that is all that is available but they much prefer being brush goats.

As a Pet Goat they are gentle and easy to get along with. They have to get to know you and once they do they will come looking for treats and eat right out of your hand. They truly do make a great pet goat.

They are America's very first meat goat. The flavor is mild, sweet and juicy without feeding grain. They are truly a great Meat Goat!

The Spanish goat breeds year round. They do not usually require any assistance during kidding. Their gestation period is five months.

Here on the ranch we also raise completely free range chickens. They are free to use all of the pastures and return to their house each night. By allowing them to free range they help to control parasites in the fields. They lay beautiful brown eggs with deep yellow yolks. Eggs can be purchased here on the ranch seven days a week using our honor system. Visit our egg page here: Our Eggs.

You can call or email us from our Contact US page if you have questions about our honor system.
