Our Herd

“We have high fluting goats and Regular every day goats. But we love them all the same.”

Betty

Nigerian Dwarf – “I want what you have…and pets, give me pets.”

Status: Not-Registered

Amazing, Beautiful, Sweet:

What about Betty?

Betty is the best, ask anyone. She does this thing where she hops her two front feet onto your leg and asks for pets and treats…its the best.

Who will she breed with?

We are still planning our 2021 breeding schedule and if Betty makes her weight and size goals we will consider adding her into the mix but she has to be mentally and physically prepared to be a mom. Still, we are thinking and planning around her breeding and we are excited to decide what buck would be best for her. We have a few bucks to choose from and with Betty’s perfect personality we really want to pick someone special. Maybe you could help us choose? Leave a comment below and lets talk about it.

Will we Breed betty?

Absolutely, when she is ready. Betty is too young. She coudn’t handle the stress of a pregnancy right now and we want her to be healthy and happy. At some point we will find her a love match.

What doe Betty like?

Alfalfa Hay, Pets and love, all the love. Betty is sweet and curious and is alwasy up for adventure.

Rosie

Nigerian Dwarf – “I want to explore and be your friend…especially if you have some food.”

Status: Not-Registered

Mischevious, hesitant, Sweet:

What about Rosie?

Rosie gets into everything and wants to be around you all the time. She loves to go off and investigate things and because of her small size she usually fits into small spaces and finds herself in trouble or adventure. She came to us with Betty who is her best friend but lately she has been hanging out with Little Pym.

Will we Breed Rosie?

Probably not but we will see. Rosie is very small for her age and doesn’t grow very quickly so we do not have plans to breed her until she is physicaly and mentally prepared for motherhood. We love her personality though so we would love to see Rosie babies someday.

What does Rosie like?

Alfalfa Hay, Pets and love, all the love. Rosie is sweet and curious and always into everything.

Rosita

Nigerian Dwarf – “I want love and peanuts…not necessarily in that order.”

Status: ADGA Registered

Demanding, curious, affectionate:

What about Rosita?

Rosita is pregnant and will be ready to give birth at the end of May. We are very excited to meet her babies and possibly get a littel doe (girl) from her. Rosita is uncomfortable right now because of the pregnancy so she is in no mood for shenanigans or anyone stealing her food. In the last Ultrasound we saw 4-6 babies so we will see how many she has.

Who will she breed with?

Rosita is Bred to Scooby.

Will we Breed Rosita?

She is pregnant now and is due at the end of May with 4-6 babies (Last we checked) so we will not breed her again until 2022 or even 2023 depending on how she does with this labor.

What doe Rosita like?

Rosita is mainly concerned with eating and sleeping these days. Her belly is ever growing so we expect she will be cranky and ready for food pretty much all the time.

Honeybee

Nigerian Dwarf – “I love doing my own thing but I could go for some snuggles too.”

Status: Pending ADGA Registration from Breeder

Sweet, Kind, Intelligent:

What about Honeybee?

Honeybee is one of the most beautiful goats in the world in my humble opinion. She has sparse dark moon-spots and a beautiful honey, golden fur, blue eyes and has the most affectionate and independent disposition of all our goats. I just love how easy peasy she is about life and how excited she is to see me every day. We did not get the registration from the breeder when we first got her and we are still pending the registration so it is possible we will not be abel to register any babies we have from her in the future.

Who will she breed with?

We will breed Honeybee with either Dragon or Dusty. I want to see what colors we can get out of them as they are all excellent representations of the Nigerian Dwarf.

Will we Breed Honeybee?

Absolutely, maybe at the end of this year but she has to grow, grow, grow and then we will decide if she is ready.

What does Honeybee like?

Honeybee loves to be scratched behind her shoulder but she only comes up to be pet every so often. She is an easy girl to work with but she mostly does her own thing and we love her for that.

Little Pym

Nigerian Dwarf – “I love my mom and mischief, whats it to ya?!”

Status: Not registered

My baby, Stubborn, Affectionate:

What about Pym?

Alright, so every herd has a favorite and Little Pym is mine. I couldn’t imagine the herd without her. She is sassy and sweet and extremely interested in all things people. She often comes inside and sits by my computer while I am working. Pym is defined by her defiance in many ways. She always wants to wander and just be herself and that takes a great deal of self respect which makes me respect and love her all the more.

Who will she breed with?

If we decide to breed Pym we will likely breed her with Stinky Pete. I think their personalities would go great together and I would love to see a doeling from Pym who looks like her father. Since Pym and Stinky Pete are both not registered we do not have to breed her with one of our registered bucks. Stinky Pete had a mother with a beautiful milking udder so I would love to expend on that for our herd as well.

Will we Breed Pym?

Maybe, I am very protective of Little Pym and while pregnancy goes smooth 95% of the time Pym is small so maybe at the end of this year but she has to grow, grow, grow and then we will decide if she is ready.

What does Pym like?

Us! She loves people and adventure. She loves to run and play and find grass to eat and she is into and out of everything when she wants to be.

Paprika

Nubian – “Come play! Come Play! NOW I said!”

Status: ADGA Registered

Amazing, Loud, Affectionate:

What about Paprika?

Yes this is our resistant beautiful lanky show model Nubian. She is absolutely stunning, sweet, has a voice like a train whistle and isn’t afraid to show her affection and her demand of milk and hay whenever she feels like it. Paprika is clearly a queen and one day will surely be queen of the herd. She has a big personality and an even bigger place in hour hearts. Our herd would not work without her!

Who will she breed with?

That is something we are still deciding! But it will definitely be with either Dragon or Dusty.

Will we Breed Paprika?

Yes! As the only Nubian on our farm we are planning on breeding her to one of our Nigerian dwarf bucks with will produce what is called a Mini-Nubian Goat. This breed of goat can be registered but is technically a cross breed. But that is far in the future, either at the end of this year or the beginning of next. Like all our doelings Paprika has a LOOONG way to grow before she will be ready for babies but we are so excited to see her kids on our farm one day.

What does Paprika like?

Paprika loved Dragon, Dusty & Charlie lol. She absolutley loves him and follows him everywhere!

Godiva

Nigerian Dwarf – “Leave me alone and everything will be fine!”

Status: ADGA Registered

Standoffish, Playful with other goats, Wild:

What about Godiva?

So we got Godiva from a Farm in New York and she was transported down to us along with her paperwork. The breeder didn’t exactly say she was affectionate but we were not expecting the wild animal that came to our farm in Godiva. She is extremely petrified of us and unfortunately we have to chase her down to get nail trimming and health checks done. Over time through she has warmed to a few of our goats so I am hoping to bond with her as our relationship develops.

Who will she breed with?

We are still working that out. We have to determine this by conformation, Milk lines, and personality. Everything plays a factor in the decision.

Will we Breed Godiva?

Yes! She is just about 6 months away from breeding at this point. She is under weight but just by a hair so we may begin breeding her in August (Depending on her weight and hips) so that we have January 2022 babies.

What does Godiva like?

Godiva has started to enjoy Betty’s company which we encourage. We hope that Betty’s confident personality rubs off on Godiva so she becomes more affectionate with us.

Bling

Nigerian Dwarf – “I want all the food, and I want your food too.”

Bling’s story with us:

What are our plans with Bling?

Bling is from two of our favorite farms. The Looney Bin Farm: https://thelooneybinfarm.com/ and also from Royal Palms ranch: Royal Palms Ranch.   We would love to Breed Bling to one of our bucks (Scooby, Dragon, Dusty or Peanut). Bling produces great milk and we want to expand on that but we have a few breeding bucks coming into their own who we would like to consider so we are still deciding.

How is she doing?

Bling is warming up nicely to us and to the other girls and Scooby of course. Scooby does seem interested in her but only time will tell if she and Scooby will be a love connection. We are still considering breeding her with other bucks no our farm but if Scooby gets the job done we are excited to have babies from these amazing goats.

Back Story

Bling is very food aggressive so she really doesn’t let anyone else eat until she has had her fill. This caused her to gain a little too much weight which might be why she has not been pregnant in a while. When she came to our farm we was well looked after but a little to heavy to carry a baby so we have placed her on a diet and plan to breed her this year.

What's Peanut's story?

Peanut is one of the sweetest goats we have and was bred from one of our favorite farms. https://thelooneybinfarm.com/ He has amazing milk and show lines and his blue eyes and waddles are just the frosting on the cake. We are so excited to have Peanut on our farm to improve our herd. He will likely be our main herd sire as the years go because of his amazing personality and beautiful heritage.

Have you ever rented Peanut out as a Stud goat?

Because of his great genetics Peanut would be a wonderful goat for many herds but we are very careful about bio-security and bringing disease into our herd. We want everyone ot be safe, including our goats so we may at some point allow other farms to bring their does here to breed with our bucks but we will need to build a separate area to do that away from our herd to be safe.

Do you plan on breeding Peanut?

absolutely! Peanut will likely be our main buck for all our registered girls since he has such great milk lines and show heritage.

Why isn't Peanut with the other bucks?

Peanut is very small compared to our other bucks and so we have kept him with our whether (Castrated/Neutered) Goat names Merlin so he has a friend but he isn’t treated so rough by the rest of the boys. Plus he needs snuggles every day so we wnt him closer to us.

Merlin – “The man of the hour”

Nigerian Dwarf – “I just want to be with YOUUUU!”

Status: Not-Registered & Wethered

Affectionate, Needy, Sad:

What's Merlin's story?

Peanut is one of the sweetest goats we have but he is always looking for his original owner who had to leave him behind through no fault of their own. We took him in and he is now one of our farm ambasador animals, someone we will eventually bring to visit children and the public as he is great with all people! Merlin is a wether, meaning he cannot have any babies on the farm but he is king in our hearts and is Peanut’s best friend.

Do you plan on breeding Merlin?

No, Merlin is a wether, meaning he will not produce babies for us but he has a place here as Peanut’s best friend and our faithful companion.

Why isn't Merlin with the other bucks?

Merlin can certainly handle himself but he gets picked on just like Peanut does so we decided to put them together. they ahve formed a lasting friendship and are happy in eachother’s company.

Stinky Pete- “Our baby and The calmest fellow you ever did meet”

Nigerian Dwarf – “I’m cool with it!”

Status: Not-Registered

Affectionate, Calm, Sweet:

What's Stinky Pete's story?

Stinky Pete was our first Buck on the farm and when we got him he had Psunonia and needed extra care and love. I cradled him in my arms from the time he was a youngster and if there was a goat I considered my son it would be this little guy. He is best friends with Endel Midnight and spends most of his time in with Scooby and Little Cow.

Have you ever rented Stinky Pete out as a Stud goat?

We would love to do so! Stinky Pete would be a wonderful goat for many herds who have pets with his calm personality, healthy physique and beautiful coat but since he is not registered we cannot guarantee his genetics. we are very careful about bio-security and bringing disease into our herd. We want everyone to be safe, including our goats so we may at some point allow other farms to bring their does here to breed with our bucks but we will need to build a separate area to do that away from our herd to be safe.

Do you plan on breeding Stinky Pete?

Absolutely, because Stinky Pete is not registered we will likely only ever breed himn with our other unregistered ladies. We are excited to meet his kids and love having him on the farm.

Does Stinky Pete get beat up by the other bucks?

Not really, Stinky Pete and Endel Midnight hang out together and Scooby and Little Cow usually duke it out in the pasture.

The Scoobser – Scooby “Kind, Brave, Gentle and Perfect!”

Nigerian Dwarf – “Ok, whatever…just don’t touch my ladies!”

Status: Registered

Affectionate, Calm, Sweet:

What's Scooby's story?

Scooby is our main herd Sire right now though that status is changing quickly. He is frenemies with Little Cow and likes to be the boss with the boys. Most of the time though he also wants to be a lap goat which is difficult if you have ever been around a stinky buck. He is our big lovable man and we couldn’t do any of this without him.

Have you ever rented Scooby out as a Stud goat?

We would love to do so! Scooby would be a wonderful goat for many herds but we are very careful about bio-security and bringing disease into our herd. We want everyone to be safe, including our goats so we may at some point allow other farms to bring their does here to breed with our bucks but we will need to build a different area to do that away from our herd to be safe.

Do you plan on breeding Scooby?

All the time! Scooby is constantly looking for the ladies and does his job well.

What's so special about Scooby?

Scooby has great milk production babies, he is polled (Meaning he won’t grow horns) He is moonspotted and his personality is calm and friendly. We just love him!

Little Cow “Loud, Mischievous, Awesome!”

Nigerian Dwarf – “But I said I want the Food NOW!”

Status: Not-Registered

Adventrous, Jumpy, Independent:

What's Little Cow's story?

We never planned on keeping Little Cow but he fell into our hearts and now he is here to stay. Little Cow loves the ladies and to be up high on top of things. His mother was a goat here on the farm and was a great jumper as well. He thinks hes top dog in the chain of command and we see him wrestling with Scooby a lot. He sometimes cries at the ladies and is always causing trouble and lovable joy for everyone.

Have you ever rented Little Cow out as a Stud goat?

We think Little Cow would produce great babies who are lively and personable but we are not sure about his genetics so while we are open to the possibility someday we would only rent his services out to pet homes.

Do you plan on breeding Little Cow?

Maybe, Little Cow is constanty looking for the ladies and trouble and we have fallen in love with his antics but is he a great repreesentation of a good Nigerian Dwarf? Only time will tell. We want to promote calm, friendly behavior, great goat genetics and milk production and we just don’t know about Little Cow yet but we will see.

What's so special about Little Cow?

His birth on the farm was a great event here and he has since become an amazing and lively personality in our family. We are still growing as a farm and sop far little cow has made his own place here with his wild antics and loud demanding perspective on life. We love hanging out with him.

Endel Midnight “Sweet, Affectionate, Full of Life!”

Nigerian Dwarf/Alpine Cross: “Have any Milk. How bout some pets?!”

Status: Not-Registered – Wether

Snuggly, Kind, Affectionate:

What's Endel Midnight's story?

Endel is Stinky Pete’s companion and friend. He is always looking for human attention and loves to sit and watch the day go by while grazing. Endel is a beautiful soul who doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.

Do you plan on breeding Endel Midnight?

Nope, Little Midnight is a wether, meaning he cannot breed and is a treasured pet and companion for our bucks who can breed.

What's so special about Endel Midnight?

Endel was a sweet and affectionate baby who was raised by us and has always been kind and pretty mellow. He hangs out with Stinky pete often and they sleep next to eachother at night. He has never shown much interest in many of the other goats but we know he would make friends if he wanted to. Who wouldnt love that face!

Dragon & Dusty “The Rat Pack of the Herd!”

Nigerian Dwarf: “Have any Milk. How bout some snuggles?!”

Status: Registered

Snuggly, Kind, Affectionate, Independant & Brave:

What's Dragon & Dusty's story?

Dragon and Dusty are Brothers who came to us from another great herd here in Florida. We instantly fell in love with them and we are excited to see them grow and develop into amazing herd bucks for our farm. Right now they are babies who need love, protection and milk all day long.

Will you ever rented Dusty or Dragon out as a Stud goat?

Probably not for a loong time and then I would have ot think about it. I don’t yet know these two well enough to recommend them to another farm so I am not sure what the plan is for renting with these two yet. Right now we are just enjoying their company and having these amazing little ones around.

Do you plan on breeding Dusty & Dragon?

Of course! Look at those baby blues! They come from an excellent line of goats who we are excited to bring into our herd breeding program.

What's so special about Dragon & Dusty?

Dusty is bigger, more passive and affectionate and defintely more interested in sleeping and snuggling with us. Dragon is rough and tumble, always getting into the thick of the other goats and finding adventure. I think he will make great friends with Little Cow one day.
