We are very proud to announce that Fall Creek Farm is the winner of the 2007 Wisconsin State Fair Premier Breeder Award!  photo courtesy of Sharon Dean  Welcome to Fall Creek Farm! We are located in southwestern Wisconsin, near the Illinois and Iowa borders, approximately one hour SW of the state capitol, Madison. My daughter Hilary and I moved to our 24 acre farm 12 years ago from Chicago, fulfilling
my childhood dream of having a farm of my own. I then proceeded to fill it up! We are currently raising Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Spanish Mastiff Livestock Guards (one of the rarest of the Mastiff breeds found in the US), Peafowl, Guinea Fowl and a myriad of other animals both in and out of the house! We will usually have a good selection of animals available for sale in the Spring and Summer months. Though relatively new to Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats (we bought our first in 2001), our Nigerian Dwarves are represented by what I consider some very strong bloodlines, in both dairy character and conformation, which include Brush Creek, Caesar's Villa, Goodwood, Rosasharn's and Willow's. These long established lines are the foundation of my herd.  I am a firm believer that if you are going to raise something, you should do it right.
Quality is our goal and responsibility. Animals should be selectively paired only to improve conformation, temperament and character over the previous generation. I am very proud of the progress we have made in a relatively short period of time towards this goal. All of our goats (one year and older) are tested annually for CAE and Johnes. Our kids are raised on a strict preventative regardless of our negative test results. We use a more holistic, natural approach to health care for our animals and I have really appreciated the results we have seen.   Our dogs are fed a predominantly raw meat and vegetable diet that has gone a long way towards improving overall health and general appearance. Because our birds and occasionally the goats range, we avoid chemicals and have found many successful natural alternatives to bug and weed control. Guinea Fowl being one of the best for bugs! I hope you enjoy your visit! Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone with any questions or comments. I am always willing to talk about animals! Meet the newest member of our dog family!
