The Main Herd
DOB: March 2009. Mud Creek's Fred. Registered American Tog buck. He is sooo cute! Can't wait to see what he produces. Start watching for his kids in January 2010.
DOB: 23 February 2010. GBF's Toots (Mud Creek's Fred x GBF's Ju-Ju Bee).
DOB: 15 Jan 2005. Nellie was one of our first goats. Our daughter Abby wanted to show goats in mini-4H so we purchased Nellie (and Money) from our friend Chad Zahner (Crazy Chad's Goat Farm, Wakarusa, IN). Nellie is the self-proclaimed Queen-Bee of the herd. Tog x Nubian doe.
Katie is the sweetheart of the group. She can tie her ears back behind her head, although she looks pretty ornery when she does it! Katie is a good mom - twins each spring. Alpine x Nubian doe.
DOB: 30 Jun 2005. If Nellie ever decides to step down from her position as Head Goat, Cinnamon will be right there to take her place. Cinnamon is a very nice goat - deep and long. She raised triplets this last spring (2009). Boer x Nubian doe.
DOB: Mar 2007. Skipper is Abby's cart goat. He is a smart little guy and has done very well at the fair for Abby: Rsv. Champion Harness Goat (2007) and Champion in 2008 and 2009. Katie is his mother. Alpine x Nubian wether.
DOB: Jan 2005. Money. Big Money. Money was the Rsv. Grand Champion Market Goat at the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair in 2005. He was originally purchased to be a mini 4-H goat, but as he developed, it was obvious that he had greater aspirations. He is a big baby and is quite content to live out his days with the girls, eating hay, lots of hay!. Boer x Nubian wether.
DOB: Dec 2007. Then, we have Isabelle - Izzy for short. Izzy was a bottle baby and had a rough time of it last spring - she had to have a c-section to remove a dead kid. She recovered splendidly, and we are hoping things go better for her this year. 100% Tog doe.
DOB: 6 April 2008. GBF's Roma. Roma is Cinnamon's daughter. She too is a nice Boer doe, out of a 100% Boer buck. This is the first time we have tried to breed her.
DOB: 17 March 2009. GBF's Ju-Ju Bean and Jezabell. Twins out of Katie this spring. Out of a 100% Tog buck. They won't be bred until Fall 2010.
