About Our Business
We are a family farm in progress, located on 375 acres at Point Mackenzie, Alaska. We raise
assorted goats, rabbits and occasional beef and pig for sale. Starting in 2008 we plan to have our
first crop of hay for sale also.
Our goal is to provide friendly well bred animals for small to large people of all ages.
We started on a small 2 acre parcel outside of Wasilla, Alaska in 1999 with 3 children, 3 horses, 4
goats, 2 ducks and 8 chickens. Our family has grown to 6 children now,70 goats, 3 horses, our
LGD Keisha and assorted poultry. Hmm and over 100 rabbits. Polish of all variety, Silver Martins ,
Rex, and a couple Mini-Lops. Check specific species and or breed pages to see show wins,
available animals or just for fun.
When I was a child my pets were, a Sanaan/Nubian/Alpine doe,2 horses, many chickens, a
Suffolk ewe lamb, and many cats, wild turtles (snappers and mud) and a really doofy Beefalo (who
did end up in the freezer). I would venture a guess that my upbringing directly influenced my choice
of lifestyle! I still want a fuzzy lamb who follows me everywhere, though she has been replaced by a
Grade Toggenburg doe Buttercup who is my "little lamb". She was bottle raised and born the day
we moved to this farm. Allthough she is coming up on 5 years old she still thinks she belongs on
my lap and in the house or car... wherever her "people" are. She will tolerate the goats, but certainly
is a Queen among them.
Our goat herd consists of Nigerian Dwarf goats, Nubians, American Alpines, Toggenbergs, 3
miniature Nubians, 6 FB Boers and 2 75% Boers. All our goats tested negative again this year for
CAE and Jonhnies. We are still adding a few animals to our herd and will be adding LaMancha's
this year 2008.
We are going on Official Milk test this year!! Our first test
should be the last week of January or the first week of
February 2008. We conducted our first DHI test on February
4th 2008 and are awaiting our results.
Our horse herd consists of Boxey our pony mare. My daughters 2yr old Quarab Grace. And last but
NOT least Baby Cricket out of Boxey, who looks just like her grandmama the original Crickett..

Keep in mind this was fully treed with 20 years of regrowth when my father P.A. started
this project last summer. He knocked down all the smaller trees between the berms or
windrows (that were made when it was cleared 20 years ago). He has taken out as
many windrows as possible, however due to the massive root systems and stumps
many are impassable. Alot of the stumps and root clods are as big as a ford focus!
This field above is about 17 acres and will hopefully be disked and planted the last
week of June 2006. We have one other 10 acre field almost completely raked that will
also be disked and planted along with it. Oh yes don't forget the fertilizer $$$$ OUCH!
Hmm 27 down and ready and only another 160 acres to go! I will try to get some
pictures of the last 3 rows that will be knocked down before he shuts down for the
season. Once the fireweed goes to cotton the clearing is done as it plugs the radiator
in less than an hour. The pictures above don't show near the effort he has put into
getting it ready to plant. The trees were so thick you had a hard time walking through
them. Slow and tedious work no doubt.

27 acres was planted June 30th!!!! The photo below on the right is our
very first field, pictured is my father Pierre Seney the "Cat Skinner". The
land was cleared with a D7 Caterpillar Dozer with a homemade rootrake
attached to the blade.

now. He was the Hero of my life to start with!
Our clearing quota has been met and now onto building projects!
October 2007
The rabbit barn is almost complete, and boy is my husband ever putting his all into it! 16x28 with a porch no
less. I sure can't wait to start moving rabbits in as the weather is COLD about now!
Next project is finishing the 28 foot remainder of the goat barn. Wish winter could hold off just a little bit
longer!
November 2007
Rabbits are all in the rabbit barn, now all we need in there is concrete floors and dairy vinyl for the walls!
The 28 foot bottom addition is now complete. We now need the overhead garage doors on both ends and the
upstairs framed, wired and roofed. The water line was also run into the barn so I have water right there! Wow
I am going to get sooooooooooo fat and lazy!

The two photos above are the same field. One is taken in
June right after planting and rolling and the other in August.
We had a dry spell right after planting and did not get alot
of growth. What we did have the goats absolutely loved!

The photo to the left is what dad knocked
down 2 years prior and then scraped off the
summer of 2007. Some of the trees had root
systems as big as a compact car. Did I
mention there were 187 acres just like this?
Somewhere I have the before starting
photo's and will get them up.
