CAE Disclosure
**READ BEFORE MESSAGING ABOUT UFD ANIMALS!!**
​I want to let everyone know that Nova HAD been diagnosed with Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis (CAE). CAE is a chronic viral disease affecting goats, which primarily impacts their joints and can sometimes affect other systems. We're working closely with our vet team to manage Nova's health and ensure she receives the best care possible. In addition, we're taking the following steps and more to prevent the spread of CAE in our herd:
-
Testing and Monitoring: We regularly test all our goats for CAE and monitor their health closely.
-
Hygiene Practices: We maintain strict hygiene and sanitation practices to reduce the risk of transmission.
-
Isolating Affected Animals: Any goat showing symptoms or testing positive for CAE is kept separate from the rest of the herd to prevent further spread.
-
Educating and Training: We’re continuously educating ourselves and our team on best practices for CAE prevention and management.
-
Pulling All Kids: We have decided to pull all kids until we have 2 full sets of negative tests on all of the breeding animals. Kids will be on heat treated colostrum & pasturized milk, and given the best care possible.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we navigate this situation. If you have any questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If you’ve purchased goats from us in the past, please rest assured that we implement rigorous testing and health protocols. We have no evidence to suggest any past animals are affected, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of health for all our goats. This decision to post this update was particularly challenging for me, as it ties into the reason for my recent break, compounded by my academic commitments. After extensive consultations with experienced breeders who have dealt with CAE firsthand, I have decided to proceed with our annual breeding program. However, we will not be breeding Nova . We are committed to managing this situation with the utmost care. Our focus will be on implementing comprehensive containment measures to prevent any spread of the disease. Fortunately, the CAE did not arise from the property, as it came from her previous home. I do not mean to bring shade to this breeder, and I am not naming names, to protect their privacy. I still hold this breeder very high, as they are who helped create my love for the LaMancha breed. Please note, as this post is pinned and featured, i cannot be held liable for anyone not reading pinned posts. This will also be disclosed in my sales policy.
