Looking for info on Kinder Goats

[dkluzier]

We just started on our kinder herd with a registered pygmy BUCK and 2 registered nubian does this past Fall.

Our buck is on the shorter side and so there were a few issues with breeding. First heat we put them in the breeding stall alone and poor Mr. Attitude got very frustrated trying unsuccessfully to breed the doe. I heard that some does will accommodate by lowering themselves to the buck's level, we weren't so fortunate.

For her second heat cycle, with hay bales surrounding the doe for the difference in height , we are expecting our first generation kinders in March 2010.

Good to know. Thanks!

I still mostly likely have a doeling for sell. She is a beauty. Black and white and cute. Good genetics and blood-lines.

We let our boys have a step up to breed the nubians too.

I'm still on my quest to find Kinder goats...but there seem to be none in Canada anymore. I realize I could start my own herd with a registered pygmy and nubian, however, I'm even having trouble finding registered pygmies around here. Oh, how I wish I could buy some registered Kinders from the U.S. and have them flown here, but I'm sure the expense would be ridiculous. :-( Anyone happen to be coming for a visit that could smuggle a baby kinder in their carry-on bag???

If it makes you feel better, I waited for 2 years on several lists to get two Kinder Babies. It was by chance the lady's father suddenly got health problems and she offered most of her herd to us.

Also there are NO pygmys around her registered. Actually you have to drive several hours to get any registered goats around here. I live in the sticks were papers don't matter.

I drove 14 hours to pick up my pygmy last month.

There are a TON of nice pygmies in Ohio. If you could just figure out how to get them across the border you would be good. You might look into it.

I just got 2 now month old kinder boys. 1 buck and 1 wether. I'm waiting to see if I get a doe from the the Petting Farm I got the boys. they are not registered but my family loves them. I'll breed "Oreo" to my pygmy does and hopefully a kinder female. both of the boys have spots. good luck on your search. I too am a first time goat owner. they are a lot of fun .I' in California, Bay Area. there are some from time to time on craigslist. here are the pics.
