Clifford has a light buckskin pattern similar to his dam, Betty.

Ronald is solid gold with random spotting, a white poll, and frosting.

This was Clifford’s first freshening. She did great and birthed one gold buck.

Science is Fun & Genetics are Fascinating!

Please keep in mind this information is primarily for me. I’m posting it publicly in case others are interested. However, I don’t claim to know all the things. This is my method for keeping records of the genetics because I find it fascinating and I’m trying to educate myself.

Oh Clifford! She is named after the big, red dog. He was born the tiniest thing and grew up to be large and healthy.

You can read about her birth story here. She’s Betty’s kid that weighed not even 2 pounds and I thought for sure was going to be the first kid born on our farm that wasn’t going to make it. But, she proved me wrong. She has grown into a fabulous, healthy goat friend.
