9/14/2025 0 Comments 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.

8/6/2025 0 Comments Herd reduction sale!I 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. 6/7/2025 0 Comments 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. 5/20/2025 0 Comments 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. 4/20/2025 0 Comments Triplets for Mojito x Ace 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. Freya must have over heard me saying that we rarely get afternoon kiddings, so of course she kidded in-between barn checks shortly after lunch. Three more girls to add to Docs total for the year. He is up to an 8:1 ratio. Two of the girls are blue-eyed buckskins and one appears to be all black with blue-eyes. Kids will be available after weaning. We no get a break until late April when Mojito and Breezy are due.  3/14/2025 0 Comments QUADS for Dr. Pepper x AmarettoAmaretto barely looked pregnant the morning before she kidded with quads on March 13th.. The first kid was a stuck breech which which my daughter helped into this world. Amaretto then went on to surprise us with three more kids for a total of 3 girls and 1 boy. That brings Doc up to 5/1 so far from two does. So he is off to a good start this year. Unfortunately the second born girl was very tiny and undernourished, and despite our efforts throughout the night she passed away early the following morning. Less than 12 hours old, but at least she was warm and had lots of love before she passed away. Next up to kid is Freya. She is also bred to Doc and is looking like she too is getting close to kidding.  Kids are in birth order right to left. The mostly black doe kid was the first, the second passed, the third is the black and white doe with a single spot on each side. And the buckling looks like his dam. He will be available as a pet wether.
We kicked off this years kidding season on the evening of March 11th with two beautiful blue-eyed doe kids out of Dr Pepper and Pepper Potts. Of course with "Pepper" in both parents names it was pretty easy to come up with a couple of pepper names. T1 - will be named Jalapeno and T2 - will be named Belle. As much as I would love to keep these girls I'm still in herd cutting because of my increasing disability so these girls and possibly their dam will be available after weaning. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Updated Sales PageI really put little effort into selling my 2023 doe kids. I was so on the fence about having to disperse the herd. Honestly I still am on the fence about it. I so enjoy my goats, but my health doesn't always let me spend the time with them I would like to.
8/7/2023 0 Comments Letting go....I haven't blogged a lot this year. I've been down with acute back issues and have been seeing a spine specialist. This latest bout had me out of the barn for three weeks. Thankfully my daughter is home from college for the summer and she has picked up all of my chores. Knowing I won't always have help available I considered a total herd dispersement. But I just couldn't see myself being completely goatless. So I am keeping three adults and 2 kids from this year. Not easy choices and some of the ones up for sale are family favorites due to their friendliness. I kept my two most standoffish does not because I don't like friendly goats, but because in such a small herd I think I can convince them to be more people friendly. So that leaves me with an updated sales page that includes 4 blue-eyed ADGA registered adult does, two of which are in milk. Also three 2023 doe kids all with blue-eyes. Lots of great pedigrees and high LA scores behind these ladies. |
