NEW AND YOUNG LIVESTOCK
Ghost is a product of Red and Spotts. He is a solid white/cream color (should be beautiful in rutt) with one dark brown spot. Ghost has his mother's wattles and is being kept as part of our breeding program.
Wilbur was born here on the farm. His sibling, Orville, and he are full (F7+) Mini-Nubians. They were named after Orville and Wilbur Wright as they were the first Mini-Nubian males at Leap Day Farms and will act as a guide for future breeding. Wilbur will be kept as our primary stud. He had some issues as he caught "invisible coccidia" and his growth was slowed. While being nursed back to health he has developed a wicked goat feed addiction and will follow anywhere for molasses covered pellets.
Amber (brown) and Agate (black) are born of Di Di and Tornado. They have beautiful conformation with the exception of their airplane ears. As they are close to equal in size we plan to try and use them as a driving team to pull carts.
Raspberry Spinel aka "Raspberry" is the daughter of Sunny, cousin to the Wright Brothers and the first female Mini-Nubian born here on the farm. Raspberry is very vocal really showing her Nubian streak. She is often seen playing with the boys and knocking them in the dirt.
Pyrite is the product of Pants and Black Jack. She is mostly black with the exception of her ears, nose, and a brown spot on her right hind leg. This spot makes her appear to have a wooden leg.
Great Ape is the product of Pants and Tornado and brother to Ace. He is a Mini-Nubian weather with classic black and tan Nubian coloring. Named after the cartoon character, Grape Ape's face was very "ape" looking at birth. He is a true daredevil and was often smashing into things as a younger goat. Luckily, he is mellowing with age (and castration).
Stripe is the product of Red and Spotts. Ghost's bigger brother and of similar size to Buzz, Stripe has multiple, overlapping moon spots. He loves a high perch and has been known to try and climb the barn. Stripe is the first of Red's kids to have Nigerian Dwarf Tricolor coat.
Buzz is the product of Red and Spotts. Brother to Stripe and Ghost, Buzz is shy and rarely is away from his mother. Buzz is named after Buzz Aldrin as because of the beautiful round white spots decorating his hide look like moons.
Milton is the product of Opal and Jack Black. His horns are very straight. He uses them to lift fencing and allow his brothers to escape, earning him the nickname "Forklifts." He was named after Milton Hershey because of his luscious chocolate coat.
O' Henry is the product of Opal and Jack Black. He is an escape artist and instigator. With help from his brothers, Milton and Willy, O' Henry's favorite pastime is eating the neighbor's lawn, ornamentals, trees, etc. All of his escape antics have landed him in Horny Jail at this time.
Willy is the product of Opal and Jack Black. He is a follower and can often be found following O'Henry in looking for trouble. As he has been separated from his brother O'Henry, he is beginning to find new interests.
Orville was born here on the farm. His sibling, Wilbur and he are full (F7+) Mini-Nubians. He is growing fast (sideways) and will be kept as our stud weather. He will be in with Ghost and Wilbur to help keep the peace when they are in rutt. Unlike his brother, Orville is heathy as a horse.
