The Goat Exchange

I have some goat updates for everyone:

Dutchess, one of our first purebred ADGA Nubians born here, kidded by

our AGS Nigerian buck, Princeton, yesterday.

Wow! What adorable babies!

I'm going to post photos of the birth. . .

just for folks as a learning blog. If you're not inclined

to farm life in its raw state, this blog may not be for you:

She is saying, I assume, "Look what I've done, guys!"

That is a totally normal birth there. Quick, easy and

the kids were up and bouncing around very quickly.

I follow kidding up with a 1/4 cc injection into each kid of

BO-SE

Wormed the doe

And they are good to go. . .

Nothing like the Nightmare last year with the doe's Dam

We weren't prepared, did not know what we were doing prior to

that birth and ended up with a hard kidding, hard recovery, weak kids and

mastitis.

These are registerable Miniature Nubians

Doeling and Buckling

We have two more to kid by Princeton and

one more to kid in March by Ace, the Nubian buck

All are for sale

$300 each

Moving on. . .

We sold Willow, Missy and Bo to a couple in Pennsylvania.

Those were the last two Pygmy goats we had and our

Junior Nubian buck. I was very attached to Bo, but

I just did not need an extra buck at this time.

We've decided we really like the Nigerians, and we

are looking for a few more quality does or doelings

like the two we bought last month:

There are almost no Nigerian breeders locally,

so I think they will sell well, and gosh! They are cute suckers!
