SCRAPPY ACRES

The does have officially been bred! I haven't done preg checks yet, but go check out 2027 Kidddings!

Hi! My name is Elliot, and I am 15 years old. I live on 5 acres in El Dorado County, California, where I raise, breed, and sell quality ADGA-registered American Toggenburgs.

Scrappy Acres started in 2021 with four Nigerian Dwarf goats that were brought home to help keep the weeds down. I quickly fell completely in love with them; what was supposed to be a simple way to manage the property turned into a passion for dairy goats, showing, and breeding. In 2024, after showing Nigerian Dwarfs for 3 years, I brought home my first two Toggenburgs from my 4-H leader. I quickly fell in love with the breed and everything they had to offer. By 2026, I decided to make Toggenburgs the focus of Scrappy Acres and begin building the kind of herd I had envisioned. Today, my goal is quality over quantity: building a herd of structurally correct, productive does that can excel in the show ring and contribute to the next generation. Scrappy Acres is still growing, but every goat, breeding, and decision has a purpose—and I’m excited to see where it leads

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. Pregnant does are given CD&T and Bo-Se 30 days before their due dates.
