We have for a long time tossed around the idea of adding sables to our herd, but we didn't take the sable leap until buying some high quality sable semen in the Spring of 2023. We plan to use our existing alpine herd create Acorn-Sky Sables with the grade up program solely utilizing artificial insemination. This will be a long term project as it takes 3 consecutive generations of sable breedings to have a registered American Sable doe. Our goal with the sable herd is very similar to that of our alpines. We want long lasting, correct, and productive does.
Sable Breed Standard
"The Sable dairy goat is medium to large in size with rugged bone and plenty of vigor. Does should be feminine, however, and not coarse. Their hair is short; ears should be erect and alertly carried, preferably pointing forward. The face should be straight or dished. The Sable may be any color or combination of colors, solid or patterned, EXCEPT solid white or solid light cream."
