Dairy Goat for sale

I am keeping Lilly.  So Glory is for sale, available at weaning.  She is a total sweetheart but not easy to milk and needs someone more experienced than us to milk her or someone that has a machine set up.  She would also make an excellent brood doe for someone looking to add to their breeding stock.  She singled this year but has had quads in the past and is a good mom.  Great with other goats, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, and loves attention. CAE and Johnes negative.  Tested twice in the last 6 months with two different testing instruments.   I am asking $200 or best offer.  To a good home only.  She a registered Nubian but I have not recieved her papers from her former owner, but I can pursue it it you are interested.  Inquire for more information.  Glory is returning home to her former owner! :)  Life is good for Glory!

Rammie Lambies

Here are a few more pictures of some of the ram lambs available for sale.  Twins by Minwawe Bahama and Minwawe Pearl.



Minwawe Marshmello also gave me twin ram lambs.  The mostly white one is genetically grey or black, hard to tell at this point but I am leaning toward grey.  The moorit and white ram lamb next to him in the first picture is out of this lamb's sister from last year.   More pictures of the moorit and whites tomorrow.

FOR SALE

Well it is time to begin to put together my sales list.  I haven't quite decided which of the flecket ram lambs I am going to keep, but I am thinking about  Serendippity's HST ram lamb...so that leaves two spotted ram lambs for sale at this time.
Also for sale is Minwawe Cha Cha below. (SOLD). She is moorit but carries spots and could be sold with a ram as a breeding pair.  I am retaining her HST ewe lamb and her moorit son is sold.  She is for sale for $300 alone and $550 with a ram.  Their dad Bahama has wonderful wide swept horns and these boys have great spacing, I will add pictures of them as they mature so you can see how their horns are developing.
Harvest Thyme Champ (Harvest Thyme Jammer Thyme X Windswept Savannah Grace) a yearling half poll ram with a short stapled fine fleece.  He is registered as mioget and shows golden signs but may just be a light moorit.  He will have a breeding group early fall and will be available for pick up by November 21st.  His price is $250.
I have one Cheviot/Shetland ewe lamb for sale $150...the larger one.  The other is sold.
Check back often, as other decisions are made in terms of our own flock, additions will be added to this sales list.  A few of the fleckets are being considered for trades with other flocks, as those flocks make their decisions there will also be additions to this list.  If you see something you are interested in and it is not on this list, please feel free to inquire.

Ram Lambs - Something for Everyone

Black ram lamb (High Bid Hester X Mapleton Zeus) SOLD

Moorit ram lamb (Mapleton Violet X Mapleton Zeus) SOLD

Last but not least a moorit and white HST (feel free to help me name his markings)

So the question is who to keep, who to sell as a ram, and who to wether.  I have interest in 2 or 3 of these fine boys as wethers.  So speak up soon if you are looking for a ram and are considering one to add to your flock.  Unfortunately most are related to my foundation ewes so I am somewhat limited on who I can keep.

More lamb pictures

High Bid Hester had twin lambs:  ewe katmoget NFS and ram black with a tiny bit of white on his head, indicating he may carry spots is for sale. He is big, extremely well built, wonderfully soft with lots of luster.  Please inquire if interested.  These lambs are by Mapleton Zeus.
Minwawe Marshmello and Minwawe Pearl's sets of twin ram lambs.  Most likely all these boys will be for sale.  Their sire is Bahama.

Minwawe Cha Cha's ram lamb below.  Very nice solid moorit.  For sale.
From left to right Mapleton Violet's morrit ram lamb, Pike Hill Olympia's moorit (fawn?) twins.  Ewe lamb in center and ram lamb darker on right.  These three are likely to be for sale.  I am trying not to keep too many this year and all three are closely related to others I have kept in the past.
Minwawe Sprinkles twin ewe lambs.  I will likely keep one of these ewe lambs...but how to choose between them is going to be almost impossible!
Still waiting on Mapleton Peep, bred to Mapleton Rip Tide.  Then lambing will be complete for 2010.  As of today the count is 10 ewe lambs and 10 ram lambs.   More updated pictures of the other lambs coming soon.
