We are a small, family run operation, by Deborah Silva, her daughter, Rachel, and grandson, Aiden. We're located on the North Coast of California, in the small Humboldt County community of Ferndale, CA.

Francis Creek Ranch is home to the RDR herd of LaMancha dairy goats and Boer goats. The goat adventure started many years ago as Rachel's 4-H project with a few grade LaMancha type kids from a local dairy - and as they say, the rest is history. 

Deb is also a bird enthusiast (she's rubbing off on Aiden too) and raises fancy pigeons as well as the occasional hand fed cockatiel or clutch of chickens.

Our ranch has been in Deb's family for 4 generations now, and was once a commercial beef operation and timberland. Although only a small portion of the original ranch remains, we still raise registered Angus in partnership with Kracker Ranch.

Richard, Debs partner of 37 years, passed away in 2022 shortly after this picture was taken. L - R: Richard, Aiden, Deb, Rachel, and Lane.
