Hello and welcome to Josha Livestock. We are Joe and Shauna Cline from Johnstown a small town in central Ohio. We started raising goats in 1992 with Alpine dairy goats as a 4-H project for our son. We got into the Nigerian Dwarves in 1998 and then came the Boers in 2000. Since our son is grown and is out on his own we have chosen to simplify a bit. When we moved to our current home in 2003 we made the decision to no longer raise Alpines and to concentrate on the Boers and Nigerian Dwarves.
I ( Shauna) have just started a new venture of making and selling homemade and hand poured soy candles. I love candles and after a friend had given me a votive size soy candle as a gift, I decided I really liked the way it smelled, and burned so decided to try my hand at making them. I made my first batch and shared them with friends and family and found they enjoyed them as much as I. I then decided I might be able to support my candle making habit by selling a few and that is how my new business was started.
I have always tried to keep things as natural as possible when raising our goats using medications only as necessary and treating with the most natural medications as possible. I have applied this same natural philosophy with my candles. I use wax made with pure100% natural soybeans, cotton wicks, and choice fragrances. Please take a look around our website and contact us if you see something that interests you or if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by Josha Livestock.
With the rising cost of feeds and market slump we have unfortunately found ourselves unable to continue to raise the Boer goats. We are going to continue raising the Nigerian Dwarves for now as they are easy keepers and a great source of milk for a small family plus we just love them! There will be a breeding schedule posted and you can send me an e-mail if you would like to be added to the list to be notified about kiddings. Please read our sales policy.
I ( Shauna) am now going to focus more on my soy candle business and have ventured into cosmetics a little bit with my lotion bars, sugar scrubs, bath salts and will soon be adding lip balm too. I am working on setting up a shop here at the farm and hope to have it ready before winter and will post hours later on. It is the end of an era but also a new beginning. I am excited to be working on something new so check back often to see what we are offering. Thank you for your continued support.
