Welcome to Snowden Family Farm!
We are located in the beautiful woods of the Brazos Valley in southeastern Central Texas. Utilizing some of the best genetics in the nation, we raise high quality Alpine and Nubian goats and Beefmaster cattle.
OUR GOAL , encapsulated in our slogan, is to provide our friends — our customers — with the highest quality livestock possible at some of the lowest prices around. As you investigate our sale pages, and hopefully become one of our valued friends, we hope that you will agree that Snowden Family Farm offers you the best value, whether you are purchasing goats for show, milk, or both.
To accomplish our goal, we keep our herd small. By always keeping our numbers pared down, we can continue our focus on quality rather than quantity — in our goats’ conformation, production, and the care they receive — and that’s not just a catchy tag line
VALUE
Excellent Bloodlines —
When you buy stock from us, you are purchasing goats from
genetically proven lines. Our goats’ pedigrees are filled with
names that are recognized around the nation. We employ natural
service and even some AI to produce outstanding goats that satisfy
your needs. With a judge and members of the multiple time
champion Texas 4-H State Goat Judging team in our family, we know
goats!
High Standards of Care —
Health is taken very seriously here. Our goats are kept in
good shape by providing high quality feed and care. They also
benefit from regular vaccinations performed by a licensed
veterinarian, and a parasite control program implementing both the
strategic program recommended by Dr. Craig, Parasitologist at
Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, and the
FAMACHA program. We have all of our foundation goats tested for
CL and CAE, and quarantine and test any newcomers from non-CL and CAE
free herds. All of our goats come ready to unload on your farm — with a hoof
trim; deworming; current vaccinations and supplements, including
CD/T and Bo-Se; and registration papers.
Kid-Gentle Livestock —
Gentle goats are some of the most enjoyable livestock, since they
are easy to treat and handle, safe to work, and just plain fun to be
around!
That’s exactly what we raise, because we work
with our herd at least twice a day. We attend nearly every birth, so
kids
are handled and loved from the moment they are born.
Although our goats are accustomed to people and will follow you around the pasture, don’t expect them to behave like dolls — because goats will be goats, and goats are fun!
SERVICE
Our fine goats come to you gentle, and in the topmost condition, ready to begin producing for you. That’s the first half of what makes Snowden Family Farm’s goats such an outstanding value. The second half is our service. As devout Christians, we take seriously that we should do all things as if for Christ, and believe that we should treat others as we wish to be treated.
Honesty — What that means for you is that you can expect unrivaled service and honesty. Records are accurate, and you can ask us questions about our goats, knowing that we are going to give you a truthful, straightforward answer, because we mean what we say.
Helpfulness — We strive to provide superior customer service, so you can count on us being there for you after the sale. Feel free to e-mail us with a question about your new goats at any time.
Once again, WELCOME! Enjoy browsing our website, and then e-mail us to set up a time to talk to you in person. We can’t wait to meet another friend. May the Lord bless you!
