2025 Herd Reduction

Bucks:
These bucks are on offer BECAUSE they are really nice boys that would be working in my herd if I had work for them to do. 
Sans Gene E Walnut - sale or will consider minimum 1 year lease.  He improves overall udder attachment and teat size. He adds higher thurls on most does and width in the rump on narrower does.  He is friendly, within the height standard,  leads nicely and easy to handle.

Sans Gene Sunshine Superman - I really like this young man. His littermate sister has the widest, flattest rump in my herd.  His sire produced consistently correct and capacious mammaries anyone could be proud of. I was very pleased with his first kid crop this year and retained several. I don't want to give him up, but he's just going to sit twiddling his hooves here.

Diji Farm Valore - I purchased this young man because I know his sire's breeding very, very well having come from my foundation stock that produced some standout 90-91 LA scores and very consistent type, and I really admired his dam and her production evaluation numbers.  Unfortunately, I'm having to cut way back on breeding, and I just won't have work for him for at least a couple years and he's got much to much to offer. 

Yearlings
Sans Gene Sans Gene Princess Lil Bean
Long bodied, dairy, Splashy black and white pinto with blue eyes, and friendly outgoing personality, Lil Bean is about as fancy as they come. 

Sans Gene Tootsie - Good things come in plain (well mostly plain) wrappers! She's plain brown but also a chocolate sundgau. Her flat rump, depth of body, and nice front end are not plain at all.  Tootsie and Lil Bean would sure make a nice pair!

Does
Sans Gene PN Lola
Oh this one is hard! Lola is shorter-statured a FF 2 year old. She has a beautifully attached mammary with lovely sized teats. She is easy to milk by hand or machine, milks out well, and is a joy to handle.  She will milk once a day but really produces at twice a day.  Lola is best suited for someone wanting a quality doe to provide milk and enjoy petting and loving on.  She is a personal favorite but I can to the right home. 
She'd be an excellent pairing to Clementine.

Sans Gene E Clementine
Clementine is another very well bred, pretty, small-statured doe. She kidded summer 2024 and is still lactating. She is the dam to Tootsie.  Clementine is quiet, a little introverted, gentle, and very sweet.  She'd be an excellent pairing to Lola.
Sans Gene Joy is a first freshening yearling turning two in August. She heaved out a 'uuuuge doeling (almost 6#!) all by herself, and is a great mom. She has a very capacious, well attached udder.  She is nicely put together doe, and still has some maturing to do. We just started milkstand training and she is doing very well with the milking machine.  Joy is gentle and likes attention but is a rather timid doe. She does best when paired with braver, more outgoing friends and is actually quite cooperative when provided a calm and patient handling that gives her time to process new experiences.
** Joy, Clementine, and Lola would all an excellent starter herd for someone wanting to get started with a very nice little milking herd of good producing does with well-known milk/show pedigrees.  Will make a great package deal on the three together, or better yet,  a complete starter herd with these three, an adult buck with a companion buckling!**

Pets/Other
Falcon and her adopted daughter Donkey $150 adoption fee for the pair
Falcon is a striking blue-eyed mini-Lamancha. She has lovely conformation. Her udder isn't fancy but isn't bad. She isn't a high producing doe, but makes up for it by having lovely,easy to milk teats, soft udder texture, and superb milk stand manners. Her best trait though, is she will feed any kid you stick under her on the milk stand. And, if you do it often enough, she tends to adopt them, which is what happened with Donkey.

Donkey is an April, 2025, one of quads.  Something didn't quite go right during Donkey's birth, however. While overall healthy, she experiences the world a little differently than the other kids. She runs, plays, and does normal goat things, but at a little slower pace. She also holds her head differently.  Donkey's mom was overwhelmed by her quads, and Donkey always seemed to be odd-kid-out. She refused to take a bottle, but thanks to Falcon, she enthusiastically nursed Falcon on the milk stand. It didn't take long before they adopted each other, and are now quite the adorable pair.

We are looking for a very special home for this very special pair that will adopt Falcon and Donkey together and keep them together.  Adoption fee is $150 with agreement to return to us if they must ever be rehomed.

Pet, Unregistered, or just didn't get bred does, aged 1-3 years:
Hyacinth:  Hyacinth is a small doe who was too small to breed as a yearling, and didn't take the one time we bred her at 2.  We'd prefer her to go to a pet home. She is a very sweet, gentle doe who loves being petted.
Penelope:  We have been unable to get Penelope to settle the last two years. I admit, we didn't try super hard but she was bred several times last year and the year before.   We think at this juncture, Penelope's true calling is to be the most entertaining pet goat ever.   She is very outgoing and has never met a stranger.

Elodie: El is a very fancy, moonspotted 2 year old doe.  Unfortunately, she has a teat defect that disqualifies her from a lot of things, like showing.  El is a bit of an introvert. She is calm, curious, and affectionate with "her" people.  El is being offered unregistered, and while she could be bred and raise her kids, she'd be very difficult to milk because of the teat issue, so she's best as a pet.

Red: Oh, Red, what to do with you. Red is a beautiful  3 year old doe who is very shy, easily frightened, and very skittish with people.  Though when with other goats she will come up and do a nose boop on my outstretched finger. She gets along very well in the herd though.  She needs a brave companion to help her get more comfortable with 2 legged beings.  Red caught her front leg in a hay net and twisted her knee and pastern trying to get out.  Her knee was hyperextended for a time, but seems to have healed normally. We are 98% sure the hyperextension was fully injury caused, but given the concern around that issue in Nigerians, there is still a teeny chance it might not have been. We are offering Red as a pet companion for (almost) free with another of our does to someone who is willing to accept Red for who she is, happy to let her mow down all the blackberries,  and ensure she will always get her basic care needs met. 

?Princess Cirilla? - Princess Cirilla is another 2 year old I missed getting bred - she never even got a date.  I really like this silly moonspotted doe, whose dam was quite a tremendous milker in her day, and one of my favorites still.  I don't really want to sell her, but I also don't really want to breed very many next year. So, if you've got some love to give to this goofball girl and room on your milkstand for a 3yr old first freshener next year, let's talk!  Id be very interested in letting her go bred on a year long lease, as well
