Love my Nigerian Dwarf Goats

[animalmom]

Another big howdy and welcome from the Great Lone Star State, where the stars at night are bit and bright! You certainly could not do better that OFA for your stock and mentor. Congrats on your successes! Looking forward to hearing of your progress/changes/kiddings and anything else, and above all pictures! Please and thank you.

Tickled pink you found us, collectively speaking!

So, the photos are a four year-old blast from the past, the start of our journey so to speak. I'll fill in the details on my thread when I get a chance. There are two more sheds and paddocks, and as of eleven o'clock this morning- two more bucklings! Hazel had two tri-color/buckskin boys, each around 4 1/2 lbs.

@Bayleaf Meadows is very talented.
She made our farm sign and the sign for the farmers market.

Welcome to BYH!!! Your goats and their housing is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Our goat adventure began four years ago. We owned a home in a subdivision and an adjacent empty parcel that looked like the perfect home for some chickens. After a couple of coops, we realized there was plenty more room for goats! We got out books from the library and scoured the internet for goat information and settled on the Nigerian Dwarf breed for their dairy qualities and compact size. Then we searched Craigslist for breeders in the area. We were so blessed to find One Fine Acre nearby with available stock. For us goat newbies, you couldn't find better mentors, not to mention the most beautiful goats! We decided on two teenaged doelings and an expectant doe and set to work putting up a shed and fenced area. The goats moved into their new home in July of '13 and before the next month was out, our herd of three became a herd of four does when Hazel kidded a polled doeling. Four years later and we have six does, a buck, and a wether, and this year's crop of seven kids and counting! It looks likely that number will increase today... We've had three kidding this year and have three more to go. View attachment 30245 View attachment 30246View attachment 30247View attachment 30248
