Almar Acres
We put in two reservations for Almar kids and neither breeding took so we thought we were out of luck but we ended up adding five stunning Almar Acres goats to our herd. Do to the quarantine and travel restrictions Marilyn announced that she would only be selling goats for local pick up when many breeders from around the country reserve kids from her. So we were able to pick up three kids, Sky, Montana and Stud which were originally reserved. Because Marilyn is keeping her home herd numbers manageable she also offered us the incredible opportunity to add two yearling first fresheners, Brandy and Rose to our herd.
DLMG Farms
We had a reservation for two doelings from DLMG farms so of course I was checking their website and monitoring as kids were born. In the process I added a couple more reservations and then fell in love with a couple kids after they were born. So we have FOUR doelings and a BUCK from DLMG. Laurie was kind enough to hold all of them until the youngest could be picked up and I made the drive out to Hermiston Oregon. Laurie and Mell have an amazing farm and I came home with lots of inspiration for pens and feeder construction.
Sunny Days Farm
I was so lucky to find this breeder when looking at facebook Nigerian groups. I originally inquired about one kid, Zoey, and then after visiting her farm and seeing her incredible stock we came home with SIX!! Not only does Serena have a lovely herd she has also become a fast friend.
Stage Dragon
Kimberly sold us one of our first lots of breeding stock so we were excited to hear that she was willing to part with some of her accomplished does. We already have adult kids from MudPie and Rain and we love the lines so much we are excited to add these girls to our herd.
Rainy Rock
We actually purchased Fishin last year with the agreement that Angela would keep her for one more set of kids and the 2020 linear appraisal. With LA cancelling we ended up picking her up in March this year. When I picked her up I fell in love with Fang and put a deposit down on her. I was transporting a goat from Stayawhile farm for a friend so my SUV was full. Angela has been kind enough to hold her until September for me to pick up.
