Mabel
(Mystic Dawn Luna)
American Nubian
(Mystic Dawn Luna)
American Nubian
Mabel was my first registered milker. She taught me so much- from how to handle and feed a milk goat to why it is important to make sure the grain is locked up when she is free-ranging outside the pasture. She can pry the lid off a grain bucket in less time than I can!
She is friendly and hilarious. And though she loves people, and apparently would like to live with us in the house, she is rather independent, and can be pushy at times if she thinks she can get away with it.
On her first kidding (before I bought her) she produced one buckling. Her second kidding produced a buckling and a doeling, and the third produced two bucklings and a doeling!
Mabel kidded May 1st, 2015 with twin doelings.
Sadly, one half of Mabel's udder is no longer functional because of staph mastitis. Though this is sad, the experience has taught me a lot about milking hygiene, and we now use iodine teat dips, which will hopefully prevent any recurrence of this. I believe she may have already had a predisposition to staph when I bought her because she developed a knot in her bad teat within a few months, but I don't really know.
The good news is that she can still produce kids with no problems and milks well on the other side of her udder! I am keeping her April, 2017 doeling (Mayberry).

Frieda
(Frog Creek Jenny Whitaker)
American Saanen
Frieda is a well-built, pretty Saanen doe. I can hardly wait to see how she produces!
Mayberry
ADGA Grade Nubian
Mayberry is Mabel's 2017 doeling. I am so happy with this kid! She registered as Grade because her sire was unregistered, but he "carried his pedigree in his face," i.e. he was obviously Nubian (see below). Mayberry, like her sire, is very small, but has gorgeous colors. She produced a lilac, spotted doeling in March of 2018 and is milking pretty well for her size (around 6 cups per day.) Her udder is perfectly even and very soft.
Pistachio, Mayberry's sire.
Fragoso
Nigerian Dwarf
(Deceased; reference only.)
Fragoso is a gorgeous buck from registered stock. His dam is registered, but his previous owners never bothered to register his sire, so unless I can get his sire registered, there is no way to prove the lines he's from. Regardless of that, he is a very good buck. His mother (last 3 photos) is a decent producer and he has already produced some very pretty kids. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of babies he produces here!
