Ok, these will whet your whistles and you'll find the rest on our farm page on Facebook (just follow the link in my signature).

You dont have to like us Rolls. We can like you anyway!!!!

Yeah, Rolls I have to put up with them everyday. They are like Pine sap once it gets on you, its almost impossible to get off.

BABIES!!! OMG they are so sweet. I still have at least til Christmas day to go here, cannot wait.

I still LOVE that boy! If I was closer to you I would be tempted to beg DH for him! Where did the black come in? Ranger is brown too isn't he. Love that they are pygerians too! I think I recall you saying Ranger is the dad and he is a ND. I guess Precious will be your first adventure with a pygerian doe so you can see what kind of milk production and all can go along with them.

Hey Emily, you think that person that posted to the BST last month might still be interested?? They were looking for goats in Ohio...

ETA: Guess they aren't... I no longer see their thread.


Side question: Why is it that it is almost always the males that are born that beautiful coloration?!

Pygmy babies always look like little devils to me, esp. when they have 'eyebrows'.....CUTE!

(the worms didn't taste good....)

Yes, these would be F1 Pygerians. Daisy is pureblood Pygmy and Ranger is pureblood Nigerian Dwarf.

The future plan will be to breed Precious later to Snickers (who is also F1) to create our first F2 and hope that the breeding produces doelings. Listen to me...she's not even 48 hours old and I'm arranging breeding plans for her!

This is Ranger (at a younger age):

IDK... :/ Probably for the same reason that when tragedy strikes it's always the does...to make humans crazy

We're quite happy with the agouti in this case for the doeling.
