]]><![CDATA[2026 Kidding update]]>Mon, 20 Apr 2026 02:02:28 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/2026-kidding-updateThe last 48 hours have been a little crazy around here.  Our final 4 does to kid this year all kidded within a few hours from each other.  So here is a quick recap.

4/17/2026: Amaretto kids with quads out of Waggy - 3 does and a buck

4/18/2026:  Lily kids with triplets out of Waggy - 1 doe, 2 bucks

4/18/2026: Mojito kids with a single doe kid out of Waggy

4/19/2026:  Breezy kids with quads out of Doc - 2 does, 2 bucks

When you add in Valkyrie's twin bucklings born in March that brings our total for the year to 14 kids, including one still born doe kid for Breezy.   Now for the rundown on availability.   (Sales page will be updated eventually/)

Valkyries boys out of Dr. Pepper will both be available as future herd sires.   Her third freshening udder is looking and feeling great.   I may be persuaded to trade one kid for another buck kid of equal value.  I will be adding them to the sales page as time permits.

Amaretto - two of her doelings are staying here as bottle babies when Amaretto goes to her new home next month.  I can only keep one, but I haven't decided which one yet.  

Lily's boys will be available as a wether pair when weaned her doe kid will be retained.  

Mojito's single doe kid will be available after weaning

Breezy's daughter will be available as a bottle baby now, or after weaning.  Her boys will be available as a wether pair after weaning.  

I need to update my available page, but I also desperately need to sleep.  So this will have to do for now.  I am going to do a quick photo dump here, and there are also pics up on the farm Facebook page.   

​Weebly has stopped supporting the mobile app that let me update this site directly from my phone so more things are getting posted to Facebook just for ease of use.

]]><![CDATA[Twin bucklings for Valkyrie and Dr. Pepper]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:56:31 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/twin-bucklings-for-valkyrie-and-dr-pepperValkyrie very calmly and quietly gave birth to twn bucklings our of Dr. Pepper on the afternoon of March 22nd.  So quietly, that the first kid was lying at my feet before I even saw a bubble.  Both boys have blue-eyes and very nice confirmation to go along with their outstanding pedigree.   

The plan for now is to retain Valgard in the Wags Ranch herd until he can at least breed a few does for us here.  His brother Arkyn will be available as a furture herdsire.  Waiting another week and then we will bet 12 hour fill pics of their dam's lovely udder.  Unfortunately, ADGA is skipping our area for Linear Appraisal for the third year so unless a miracle happens Valkyrie is going to have to wait another year to be evaluated.  
]]><![CDATA[Happy Thanksgiving and a few updates]]>Sat, 22 Nov 2025 20:39:03 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/happy-thanksgiving-and-a-few-updatesJust finished the website - updated the sales page and created a page for my 2026  Breeding Plans.  Updating the sales page with new pictures and adding details to the pedigree pages can be tedious, but when I am looking to buy I appreciate those buyers that have done something similar and I hope you do to.  It also makes me wish I was in a spot to keep those remaining 5 does, 1 doeling and one buckling that are on the sales page.  But alas that is not possible.

Speaking of those 5 adult does - they have all been exposed to a buck and the new sales page reflects that info and includes the planned pedigree info - with all the extras - for their progeny.  If I personally witnessed the breeding I use the term Bred and exposed for those that I didn't personally witness.  Because I am still recovering from my first hip replacement surgery, I am not always able to get out to the barn to check for heat.  So I get video clips - asking "is this doe is in heat, and if so, who does she go in with?"   

Waggy is being heavily used and he is in heaven.  He should throw blue or marble eyes and potentially moon spots.  My five adult keepers have also had a shot at the boys, and Valkyrie is due exactly 6 weeks after my next hip replacement.  

Finally, I just found out this week that Dr, Peppers sire is the #1 ELITE buck of all living bucks and currently #2 of all bucks ever enrolled in the program.  Pretty impressive don't you think?]]><![CDATA[September Updates]]>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 02:14:58 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/september-updatesI am having a total hip replacement surgery on Oct 1st and I still need to reduce my herd to a size my disabled husband can care for until I am back on my feet.   So additional price slashing has occurred. I am also offering to donate a 2025 doe kid to any 4H or FFA child (one per family) that can provide a good home - meaning adequate food, water, shelter and companionship of at least one other goat.  I have four 2025 doe kids left, 1 2025 buckling and 6 adults available.  ]]><![CDATA[Herd reduction sale!]]>Wed, 06 Aug 2025 22:23:48 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/herd-reduction-saleI am finally scheduled for the two surgeries that will hopefully improve my walking.  Problem is, they will fall during breeding and kidding season with a three month or more recovery period.  So I need to drastically reduce my herd ASAP.  I was already working on cutting back to "just" a dozen goats, but now ones I had intended to keep are on the sales list too. 

These are all quality goats with great pedigrees as you can clearly see on the two sale pages.  I have even dropped the prices on the buckling and adult buck I have for sale.   So now is your chance to get a high quality buck at a very affordable price.
]]><![CDATA[Updated sales pages]]>Sat, 07 Jun 2025 19:45:38 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/updated-sales-pagesSale pages have been updated.  Stranger's Ace is still available, but I have decided to keep Doc in the herd until this fall as I really would like to see what he and Valkyrie will produce.   If you are interested in adding his beautiful genetics to your herd shoot me a message and we can discuss it. 

As for Ace you just can't go wrong with his genetics either and he has produced some very lovely daughters for us.  Some of those daughters are for sale as first fresheners not because I don't like them, but when you are disabled as I am now, you just can't keep a large herd.   Ace is available for sale or trade so if you have a buck with a similar stellar pedigree we can discuss a trade. 

2025 was definitely a doe year for us.  Six does produced 12 doe kids and only 3 buck kids.  Lots of doe kids to chose from with some great genetics behind them.  We also have  three first fresheners in milk, and a couple of yearlings to chose from as well as some mature dry does.

4H/FFA discounts as well as discounts for multiple purchases are available. 
]]><![CDATA[Memorial Day Weekend Sale]]>Wed, 21 May 2025 03:00:19 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/memorial-day-weekend-saleI know every year I say I am cutting back and am, but I think this will be the most drastic cut of all.  Only 5 adult does will be staying and will be selling both of my current bucks and looking for a single buck to replace them.  When it is all said and done there will be 10 or fewer total goats left by this fall.  It has been more than 15 years since my numbers has been that low.  

So in order to speed up the process, I am having a Memorial Day Sale, slashing prices on all of the goats up for sale.   Some of the kids will be ready for weaning by then, others will be very close to it.  So sales may be contingent on kids reaching weaning age.  Adult does will be $400 (most will be in milk), dry yearlings $350 and 2025 kids will be $250 each.  

Adult bucks will be $750 each and I am open to a trade for a blue-eyed buck who's pedigree is as filled with high LA scores as Docs. 

One 2025 buck kid will be $400, and a single pair of wethers will be $150 for the pair - and only available as a pair. 

I am still trying to get good kid pics, and will be posting the 2025 kids on a separate sales page soon.
]]><![CDATA[Triplets for Mojito x Ace]]>Sun, 20 Apr 2025 23:15:16 GMThttp://www.wagsranch.com/ranch-blog/triplets-for-mojito-x-ace
Picture
Mojito kidded with triplets out of Stranger's Ace  around 1 am this morning.  First born was a very flashy buck kid.  He was followed by two doe kids all delivered with Mojito standing up.  All three appear to have their dam's blue eyes and I haven't looked for moonspots yet. 

We continue with the Rum related drinks/brand names for Mojito's doe kids.  So the first doe kid will be called Mia Tia (T9) and the second will be called Bacardi Gold (T10).   The boy will be a wether so he will be probably remain nameless for now.

Next up to kid will be Breezy who is due on the 24th of April.
