Seven Oaks Kalahari Reds

stud history

Stud Principal Alison Langley purchased Seven Oaks farm 10 years ago as a white dorper sheep commercial enterprise with a handful of commercial Kalahari Red crossbred does and a fullblood Kalahari Red buck.

As the journey progressed with drought and a need for resilient stock, she made the move to focus on breeding up the Kalahari Red numbers on the farm and purchased fullblood does/bucks from within Australia and turned Seven Oaks Kalahari Reds what it is today.

STUD FOCUS

Seven Oaks focus is on breeding the best bloodlines from registered fullblood Kalahari Red goats to keep improving on genetic traits that are to the KR breed standard.

Seven Oaks fullblood bucks will all be semen morphology tested this Spring so clients can be assured of their sires performance and capabilities.

The entire herd of Seven Oaks fullbloods and commercial does have been registered with Neogen Australasia SNP DNA registry.

STUD DIRECTION

Seven Oaks Kalahari Reds mandates breeding quality Kalahari Red fullblood stud goats as well as running a commercial Kalahari Red herd all sired by our KR fullblood registered, DNA registered bucks with Neogen Australasia Ltd.

Never have and never will, we cross our goats with anything other than Kalahari Red fullblood registered sires and does.

Seven Oaks has 6 fullblood registered KR sires with our newest buck "Achilles" bringing genetics from QLD into the south for a well needed infusion into our industry.

STUD PHILOSOPHY

We believe in the future of the Kalahari Red goat and are passionate to watch this breed perform and excel consistently in the harsh Australian climate.

Seven Oaks Kalahari Reds places the upmost importance on breeding for meat and muscle growth, while maintaining maximum milk production and fertility for quality does. All fullblood kids are DNA parental tested for verification of fullblood Kalahari Red genetics.

Our herd is bred on resilient farming principles with no grain or pellet supplements. Feed is a combination of pasture and weeds.

The herd is hardened at searching for their dinner and are accustomed to walking for a dam making them naturally build up muscle in the hindquarters and chest.

The farm situated in Kooreh, Victoria, Australia on 170 acres has an average annual rainfall of 500mm, 6 dams and extreme temperatures of -6 in winter to 46 degrees in summer which is no problem for this tough and resilient goat.
