It was time to add a new sire to our herd and we found the friendliest guy. He is officially the first goat purchased by my daughter to work on her dairy goat projects.

Bunny and Tam are a pretty good duo, so we opted to retain one of their bucks. He’s a cute, little guy we call Milo.

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.

Merida is Moon’s kid. She is the only one of Moon’s kids to not have spots. I am really curious if she will pass along that trait.

Claire is Bunny’s kid and was born on our farm. She is a bit stand offish and is very vocal. If we had a contest for the loudest goat in our herd, she would definitely be the winner.

Wander is pretty fabulous. He’s friendly and he’s beautiful. I love his roaning. There is a video of Willow birthing him and his siblings on our 2018 kidding page.

We only had Wander for one breeding season before he moved on to a new home. He was such a good addition to our barnyard. I loved his markings and he was very friendly.

Betty was born on our farm …so of course I have an extra soft spot for her.

Wingman comes from the first goat kids born on our farm, which means he’s also one of the first goats to be registered with our Plentywater name.

His dad, Crash, has good lineage so I kept Wingman as a way to carry on such good genes. I also love his tan with roaning coloring.

He has a very gentle and laid back personality.

Wyldestyle is quite appropriately named. I love her. She has a lot of personality and is a favorite of most everyone who comes to visit. But, she likes to escape.

She was a tiny thing, weighing only 2.4 pounds, when born. She was raised by her mama, but also bottle fed.

Her coloring is somewhat rare for a Nigerian Dwarf, being Swiss marked.

Moon is one of the newest additions to our herd. She’s fitting in well and is very mild mannered. Her only flaw, as far as I can tell so far, is her constant need to want to escape every time I open and close the gate.
