The Main Herd
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 last year - Skipper is one of them) and a very good milker. She delivered twins March 17th! 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 took Rsv. Champion Sr. Boer Doe at the fair last year. Boer x Nubian doe.
DOB: Feb 2007. Comet was last year's bottle baby. She is also a nice young Boer doe. She is being shown here by Haley at the 2007 St. Joseph County 4-H Fair. Boer x Nubian doe.
DOB: Mar 2007. Skipper is Abby's cart goat. He is a smart little guy and did very well in the ring last year, taking Rsv. Champion Harness Goat. Abby is looking forward to hooking him up to a cart this year. 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. Lastly, is little Isabelle - Izzy for short. Her mom was only interested in feeding one baby, so Izzy needed someone to bottle feed her. She is doing great and is quite the climbing machine (there is not a hay bale in the barn that she hasn't climbed on). 100% Tog doe.
