Welcome to Kastdemur's Dairy Goats
Karen and Krista 2005
Thank you for your interest in our herd! Kastdemur’s was started way back in the mid 60’s by my mom, Karen Senn. It was a 4-H project for her and her brothers and has now been passed down to me…which I am forever grateful for! My mom was a wonderful teacher, and taught me everything I know about goats. Her knowledge has helped me to continue with the herd with much excitement for the future. At one point or another the herd has had several different breeds: Nubians, Alpines, Toggenburgs, LaManchas, and Recorded Grades. In an effort to reduce the herd size back in 2012, the herd now only consists of LaManchas. LaManchas have always been my favorite for their distinct confident personalities and overall good nature.
Krista, Peyton & Landon 2018Here at Kastdemur we strive to breed the “Long, Tall, Level does” while still maintaining overall balance…our animals consistently reproduce this in addition to their structural correctness, dairy strength, and outstanding mammaries. We breed for animals that walk with ease of motion as evidenced by their structural correctness. While you may not find our does on the "Top Ten" lists, our does are expected to milk well (several 2700-3400 lb records), and you will find several Kastdemur bucks on the "ELITE sire list". They can be immature as young does, but with lots of patience and some time they will mature into themselves. In addition, you will not find any “one hit wonders” here. Our animals are, and always have been, expected to reproduce themselves in their offspring. We have strong, consistent damlines that continue to prove themselves…and we are very proud of that!
The herd now lives at the beautiful Redwood Hill Farm in Sonoma County, CA. Which is also where I am employed. We are forever grateful for the Bice's for allowing the herd to come live at their farm back in 2011. You can visit the Redwood Hill Farm goats at www.redwooodhillfarm.org.
The website is a constant work in progress and I do my best to keep it updated. Even though the Nubians are no longer in the herd, they will continue to remain on the website for reference.

Kastdemur's Dairy Goats is a family business. My mom was the start and included my grandma and now my kids love the goats just as much. It's such a joy to see my kids interact and love them the way the previous three generations have...
