Spring Kidding Season

When the first week of April rolls around, we will officially begin our 2014 kidding season. We have seven bred does this year, ranging from our foundation miniature Toggenburg doe, Kari, down to our newest Nigerian doe acquisition, Sweetie. The whirlwind should be over by the end of April, and we will be bursting at the seams with plenty of goat kids to fit a multitude of purposes...from city goat to homesteader and everywhere in between. Stay tuned...

Time for a Little Maintenance

Today's goal, as has been for about about a week now, is to update our Goats for Sale page. We are down to only three does for sale at this point of the year. But that is soon to change...

This week marks the beginning of our kidding season, and we are likely to see our herd double in size quickly.

Our Nigerian herd sire, Mo, already has a mini Ober with almost no white on her on the ground from a breeding we did outside of our herd. Looks like a sweetheart.

More posts will be coming shortly with the results of his other breeding in our herd. The clock is ticking...

Miniature Dairy Goat Kids for Sale

That time of the year has come around fast...weaning and sale time for the kids born at Abernethy Creek Farm. Of the seven mini kids born here this year, we still have three available for sale. We will also have for sale one of breeding stock does, Maddie, who will still be in milk from her first freshening this year.

Here are details and photos:



Maddie - Miniature Toggenburg Dairy Doe - $175

Maddie is a two-year old miniature dairy goat. She was bred last year and freshening with twins this past April Fool's Day. She is the perfect size for someone looking for a small dairy goat for home milking. As miniatures are a cross-bred dairy goat including the Nigerian Dwarf breed, she would also make an excellent pet or companion animal as the Nigerian dwarf breed is very personable in nature.



Edward - Miniature Toggenburg Dairy Wether - $75

Edward is a wether out of our miniature Toggenburg doe, Kari. He is the largest of our miniature kids born this year and has great coloring. Edward would make a great pet or companion animal.



Alice - Miniature Toggenburg Dairy Doe Kid - $150

Alice is one the triplet kids - sister to Edward above - born this year to our 4H champion miniature Toggenburg dairy doe, Kari. As all of Kari's kids tend to be, she is friendly as they are handled daily by our children. With her dam's great udder in her breeding, she would make an ideal doe for someone looking for a dairy doe for home milking.



Bella - Miniature Nubian Dairy Doe Kid - $150

Bella is miniature Nubian dairy doe born this year to our miniature Nubian doe, Wroxy. Wroxy's kids tend to be the quietest of the bunch and very laid-back in personality. Wroxy too has a great udder so Bella should make an equally good dairy doe for the home milker as well as companion or pet animals.

We are also liquidating some of our percentage and Boer goats as well. Please contact us by email (click on PROFILE link under blog header) for additional information.
