SCRAPPY ACRES

Hi! My name is Elliot, and I am 15 years old. I live on 5 acres in El Dorado County, California, where I proudly raise, breed, and sell quality ADGA-registered American Toggenburgs. Scrappy Acres began as a 4-H project to get involved in my community, but it quickly grew into a passion. My goal is to build a herd of structurally correct, productive does that excel in the ring while always prioritizing quality over quantity.

At Scrappy Acres, my mission is to breed quality ADGA-registered American Toggenburgs that excel in the ring, have great milk production, and live happy, healthy lives. I focus on sound structure, productivity, and ethical care—because great goats start with great lives.

Herd Management

My herd management includes feeding high-quality alfalfa hay, grain for milking does and growing kids, and providing both loose minerals and mineral blocks free choice. Hooves are trimmed monthly, and selenium/vitamin E paste is given at the same time. Copper bolus is administered as needed, typically every 6 months to 1 year.

All goats over 1 year of age are annually tested negative for Johne’s, CAE, and CL, and copies of current test results are available when purchasing a goat. Kids receive CD&T vaccinations at 6 and 8 weeks of age, with adult goats vaccinated every 6 months thereafter. Pregnat does are given CD&T and Bo-Se 30 days before their due dates.
