Giving To The Goats
Friends Of The Farmstead
Consider becoming part of the bigger picture with the herd of San Clemente Island Goats at the EB Ranch Farmstead. There are a multitude of research projects that need to be done with these critically endangered goats. From collecting and safeguarding genetic material to understanding rare color variations in these goats. While I’m perfectly capable of providing care for my herd. Finding funding for some of these bigger research projects would be immensely helpful. Keep scrolling to find out what kind of projects are being worked on. And specify if you would like money to go toward a particular project. Feel free to contact me at ebranchllc@gmail.com
Special Projects
Below are a list of projects that can be done with the San Clemente Island goats at the EB Ranch Farmstead. These projects are still in a rough draft stage. Details will be shared as these projects become more organized. Many of these projects revolve around the Tepper Line of the San Clemente Island goat breed. And further study and preservation of two very rare color variations found at the EB Ranch Farmstead.
Collection and storage of genetic material. Both semen and fertilized eggs. And making these genetic materials available to more SCI goat breeders.
Further research into cloning possibilities.
A fund for dedicated Tepper Line SCI goat breeders. Helping new breeders pay for Tepper Line SCI goats.
Collection of DNA and helping fund the further study of the very rare “self-black” and cream and black color variations of the SCI goat breed.
Further research into the viability of cashmere in the SCI goat breed. Specifically with the Tepper Line.
