Dixie adds two gorgeous kids to the herd.

Early Saturday morning Dixie decided it was time to deliver her twin kids and she did so quickly and efficiently as always.  The little doeling is a gorgeous red with frosting and what appear to be at least partially blue eyes, the buckling is a stunning tri-color and is already displaying a sweet personality.  I will go ahead and post pictures of both but the doeling has already been reserved.
The happy little family 2 hours after arrival.

Our sweet little red head!  She has already found her people and will be joining them along with Tinkerbell's only surviving girl in 8 weeks!

This photo does not do this little man justice, he is gorgeous and strong.  He will make a great sire to someone's herd.
Remember all of our littles are double registered, disbudded, immunized and come with a bit of transitional feed; all kids are $200.00 apiece.

Kidding Season 2017!!

Well, after the crazy winter we have had here in Northern Utah we were looking forward to a fun and productive kidding season.  However, we have had several heart breaking losses here at Shamrock Farms and are still sorting things out a bit.  We have lost two of our sweet nannies and three little ones this year.  Tinkerbell (our first true Shamrock Farm bred and born girl) died after having a horrible experience delivering quintuplets, she also had quints last year but with no complications.  Only two of her kids survived but they are darling bottle babies and are quite healthy, they live in our kidding shed with a hen who does not get along with the other chickens and therefore lives in the shed as well.  The three of them are adorable when they curl up together to sleep.
This is a little doeling with black and brown marbling with bits of white here and there.  She is great on the bottle and will be a relatively small doe.  She will be double registered. (sold)

This buckling also has black and brown marbling with scattered white as well as a few moon spots.  He is the larger of the siblings and is also great on the bottle.



The second doe that kidded this year was Princess, she is the most phenomenal doe ever!  She had quadruplets in less than 40 minutes, with three of them coming within minutes of each other.  All four are healthy and nursing off Princess, but they are handled multiple times a day so that they are friendly little things.  One of the bucklings is what we call a 'teacup' meaning he is quite tiny and adorable.
This little tri color is a buckling and is the biggest of the bunch.

Our little teacup buckling, his photo shoot did not turn out very well.  We will try again tomorrow but oh what a face!

This little one has gorgeous black and white coloring and will make a great sire for someone's herd!

And last but not least the little sister!  She has pretty coloring and a sweet disposition.  She is as healthy and playful as her brothers but a bit more fun to cuddle with.
All of our kids are double registered, will have their current shots, be disbudded, and will come with a tip sheet and transitional food. All kids are $200.00 apiece, we will hold them until they are 8 weeks of age with a $50.00 deposit.  We currently have two 'bottle babies' that will be available when their family is ready for them, keep in mind that these little darlings get fed four times a day and need lots of interaction with their family.  We love our animals and will do everything we can to help you find a perfect fir for you, we also reserve the right to not sell a goat if we are not comfortable with the situation they will be going to.  One last thought goats are not loners they need a herd/family and we strongly discourage keeping a goat alone.  Please feel free to call or text us at 435-452-1804, we would love to introduce you to the herd here at Shamrock Farm!

Two darling bucklings left!

It has been an amazing spring.... crazy weather and lots of goat kids all over the place.  We have finished debudding and immunizing all or our little ones, they will be ready to go to their new homes on April 30th!  We only have two darlings left for sale; they are both bucklings, one is from Veronica and one is from Dutchess (the doe we sadly lost this year).  They are still intact but we will wether all the boys who are not reserved as bucklings  the weekend of the 23rd of April.  So if you are looking for an intact mail call us soon..
The pictures above and below are both of Veronica's buckling, he is a solid blue black color.  He is still a buckling but will be wethered in two weeks.  He is a sweet little boy with good bloodlines.


This little guy is being hand raised and is super friendly, as in sit in your lap while you scratch his ears friendly.  He is also still intact but will be wethered in two weeks.  Feel free to call about either of these sweet little boys.  They would also make wonderful 4-H or FFA projects.
