Welcome to Daily Bread Acres, located in Longview, TX!
The name "Daily Bread" is inspired by a devotional my grandmother had called, "Our Daily Bread" that was filled with daily scriptures and inspirations. As a follower of Christ, it is often encouraging to see God's little nuggets of wisdom in farm life. From time to time, I get inspired and write about them, so if you're interested, please be sure to visit the Daily Bread Blog tab.
Here at Daily Bread Acres, we strive to raise beautiful, strong and hardy milkers that are also competitive in the show ring.
Goats have been on our farm since 2011, but we have only recently been able to focus on our goals for herd improvement now that most of our human kids are grown.
We have our herd tested annually for CAE, CL and Johnes, participate in Linear Appraisals & DHIR and attend shows as life allows us to. Since my passion is dairy goats, and my husband's is traveling (though he loves them too), we manage whatever we can as far as performance and try to just focus on what our family needs for the home dairy while also striving to put out our best crop of kids each year.
This past year (2023) we did a lot of herd building by purchasing the best stock we could, so we are excited to be able to offer some of these lines available to the East Texas area! Our lines include CA Blackberry, Lakeshore, Chigger-Hill, Dair-e-Does and Latte Da.
We enjoy meeting new people who are as passionate about goats as we are, so thank you for stopping by and we hope to hear from you soon!
