pronounced "HOE-ann-boo", derived from the first 2 letters of each of my names: HOlly ANn BUroker Welcome to HOANBU DAIRY GOATS! HOANBU Dairy Goats was established by Holly Buroker and family in 1986 in rural Logan County in West Central Ohio. This small 3-breed herd (Nubians, Alpines, & Saanens) has come a long way from the more-than-humble beginnings of 2 grade does to breeding approximately 43 homebred permanent champions... and counting! Averaging just 15 to 20 milkers at any one time, the entire herd (except one doe!) is solely comprised of homebred mature does, all of whom descend from those first 2 unregistered grade does (the start to my American Alpine and American Saanen herds), and a single purebred Nubian doe kid purchased in 1990 (the start of my purebred Nubian herd). We pride ourselves in the fact that Hoanbu has long been a "breeder" of quality dairy goats and not a "buyer". We continue to breed beautiful, quality dairy goats today. Over these many years, Hoanbu Dairy Goats have been awarded countless show wins and permanent champions along with numerous stars and pluses for production, and have sold animals who have done the same for their new owners. We attend as many shows as we can (11 show locations in each 2006 and 2007, and 13 show locations in 2008, 12 in 2009, 11 in 2010, and 8 in 2011, 10 shows in 2012, and 5 shows in 2013, 8 shows in 2014, and 5 shows in 2015 which does not count for the individual judges we saw at the double, triple, and quad-ring shows). We Linear Appraise annually as well as participate in one-day milk tests, and standard DHI testing for proof of type and production. We look forward to going to more shows and receiving further production records to continue to prove our animals. We strive to produce highly productive, show quality animals in each of the three breeds we keep. Hoanbu Nubians are based on the genetics of older Winterberry, Briarwood and Hallcienda lines combining with the newer Wingwood Farm, Lakeshore Farms, Kastdemur and J&R Spirit's lines. Hoanbu Alpines are based on older Sodium Oaks, Nodaway and Missdees lines with recent additions of Tempo, Olentangy and Redwood Hills, while my Hoanbu Saanens have faithfully followed McQuitty Farm and Windsor Manor lines and more recently, Loughlin's and des Ruhigestelle. For 11 straight years, Hoanbu kids were raised on a strict pasteurization program to prevent the animals from getting the CAE virus (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis virus). Although we have had years of consecutive annual whole-herd negative CAE tests (last whole herd test done Nov 2015) we continue to pasteurize and heat treat. We hand-raise kids on pasteurized milk from our tested CAE-negative herd. Additionally, the Hoanbu herd is now and always has been abscess-free, including CL. Being from Ohio, a TB and Brucellosis-free state, we are free of those diseases as well. In 2013, we completed testing the nubian herd for G6S and can prove that the entire HOANBU herd is also G6S NORMAL. Reserve your 2016 HOANBU kid now! Orders are currently filling.... You can still reserve your own HOANBU kid by contacting us at (937) 441-0607 or email at hoanbu@hotmail.com . Be sure to put "goat" or a breed or what you are looking for in the subject line so I don't miss you. In order to keep the small, select herd that we do, we usually have some nice milkers for sale after kidding as we can't keep near as many as we freshen. This website-building adventure is a learning experience in progress, so be sure to check back soon for additions and updates. There's lots to look at and read, so get comfortable and stay awhile!
