Nigerian Dwarf Bucks

Our breeding goats are registered with the ADGA. We started small almost ten years ago, with a couple home milkers. In that time our herd has grown, and now we are focusing on improving our animals with the help of ADGA performance programs. All animals are tested annually and free of CAE, CL, and Johne's. Breeding does are additionally tested for Q fever. 

Owlhaven IB Basket Case

Picture
Case has been a large part of our breeding program. In his prime, he showed a nice brisket, with a high eschuteon, and good width between his rear legs. He did have a tendency to turn in at the hocks, which has become exaggerated with age. Case will remain with us in his retirement.

Sierra Aspen PS Panache

Picture
VVV-86

Panache is a new addition to our herd. After retiring from his prior herd, we'll be seeing what he can do for us in our own herd. He is also the sire of another recent addition, Owlhaven P Barbarella. While we're still getting to know him, Panache has been a laid back, easy to work with boy who has integrated nicely with the rest of the buck herd.

Violet Horizons Flyin 4awhile

​
"Spotty" was retained on a partial whim, based on color, but as a gut feeling too. As I watched him mature, I was hoping my gut feeling was correct, and that I had chose him for reasons other than just color. After my first linear appraisal in 2023, I could see indeed he had been kept back for more than color! He is maturing very nicely, and is a proud replacement for his sire, Case. We are just starting to use him in our breeding program, but unfortunately his first offspring have been bucklings which we are not retaining.

IlenesRascals Sycamore Quinn

Picture
GGV-84

​Sycamore was purchased while still on a bottle to bring in some genetics to improve our lines. With his 2023 LA scores, I plan to pair him with specific girls with the intent to improve shoulder assemblages and backs in my herd. Temperament-wise, he's a very sweet, personable boy who is extremely easy to work with in all respects.

Owlhaven CU Alchemist

Picture
"Chemie" is being retained for his genetics (see linear appraisal scores below). He is the result of a breeding from Owlhaven, and came to us in utero with his dam. Between him and his brother, he appears to have the best conformation. He has a wider rump, especially for his height, and a longer, more graceful looking neck. While his brother is larger over all, he also looks heavier and coarser. I will be watching this boy closely as he matures to determine if he fits the criteria to improve our herd.

Owlhaven CU Breasal

Picture
"Basil" is being retained for his genetics (see linear appraisal scores below). He is the result of a breeding from Owlhaven, and came to us in utero with his dam. Between him and his brothers, he appears to have the best conformation. He has a wider rump when compared with his height. He also has a better front assemblage and better spring of ribs. I will be watching him closely as he matures to determine if he develops the attributes to improve my herd.
