I recently picked up 2 young bucklings, probably 2-4 weeks old. They are bottle babies...I had forgotten how you can't go far when you're bottle feeding goats 3x a day! I got them, knowing they would probably go for meat and would rather see them go to pet homes, so I am selling them! I'm asking $75obo for each of them. Contact me if you're interested :)

The boys are doing well! I had forgotten how soon they have all kinds of energy and are out playing. They will be for sale and make great Chrismas presents ;) They'll be ready to go Jan 10th, unless you'd like to bottle feed them. $75 for a wether and $100 for a buck. They may be polled...we should know in a few days!
Stella had her babies (Thursday, Nov 15th)!!! She had 2 boys and was obviously bred by RM, our big alpine/pygmy/toggenburg/oberhasli buck (the waddles gave it away). This makes 6 bucks I've had this year. I was a little dissappointed they were both boys...but it'll be much easier to sell them both and not end up keeping them :)

Two of our spring bucklings are back at Little Bit Farm (the gold&white and buckskin). The buckskin wasn't doing well, after being fed too much sweet feed...it's causes Urinary Calculi (urinary stones in the bladder, which cause a blockage). This is very painful for bucks/wethers, so make sure if you're feeding them grain it's in moderation and never feed sweet feed! I brought him to the vet and he had a procedure done and was put on antibiotics and pain medicine. It's keeping him more comfortable than he was but he's still hurting :( Please keep him in your thoughts that he comes out of this, because as the vet said "He's not out of the woods yet."

Thank you to my pal Meredith and cousins Morgan & Autumn for your help getting him to the vet yesterday! I couldn't have done it without you!
