Goat Joy!

This is what happens when a happy new owner brings treats to share with the herd.....

It did not take everyone long to realize there was something good going on...

And that is what 'goat joy' looks like!

Wonderful wethers!!!!

There are three little boys left from this springs kids and all have been wethered, disbudded, vaccinated.  There is a huge range of color among these boys and most of them are already as tame/friendly as you could ever want.  There are two wild (but oh so cute) boys but we are working on them.  They have such a good momma that they really so need to hang out with us!  These boys will make amazing 4-H projects, barnyard pets, companion animals or just about anything you need.  We are happy to work out package deals and all are eligible for double registration which makes them prime prospects for showing.

This young man has the most wonderful moonspots and facial markings!

Lunch time!

These are all three wethers and can be purchased as a group or individually.  Wethers are $100 apiece with registrations, if you do not wish to register the animal we deduct $15 from the price.  If you wish to double register an animal we add $15 to the price.

This is one of our smaller boys.

We would love to see these two boys go together as they are brothers and are always together.  They do need some attention of the human kind.

My favorite little trouble maker...the boys call him Alvin and he is the most naturally friendly goat I have run across on this adventure yet.

This little one is almost solid red and is getting friendlier by the day!

If you have any questions or wish to reserve a little guy (50% deposit) please feel free call Sheila at (435)452-1804.  Thanks and have a great day.

Three Darling Doelings...

The end of April is just around the corner and we only have three spring doelings left!  These girls come from wonderful mothers who have seriously good milk supplies so if you are looking to start or increase a mini diary herd you simply must look at these beauties!

This beauty is Dixie's only girl this year and she is wonderful, the children have been working on taming her.  All of these kids have been disbudded and are current on their shots.

It is hard to see in this photo but this girl's cinnamon color and dorsal stripe are stunning.  She can be single or double registered as can all the kids from our farm.

Dutchess gave us this little red doeling and she is sweet and easy going.  I think her face is just the cutest of the bunch this year.  All of our doelings are available immediately but will need to be bottle fed for a few weeks or for a 50% deposit they can stay with their mommas until the end of May.  Don't hesitate to call with any questions  (435)452-1804.

Princesses little boys...

It has taken a few days but here are some pictures of Princesses little boys, they were born on March 20th and are super affectionate already.  Princess has turned out to be a great mom, she has even helped out a bit with the littles whose nanny is less than interested in them.

Feed tubs are the greatest places to hide when you are a little guy!  They also make great nap locations!

This little guy is a gorgeous tri-color with frosted ears.  He would make a great stud or a great pet/4-H project if wethered.

This little guy is almost completely black except for the adorable white mark on his crown!

Hugh and the little guy are great friends already.

We are excited to have a total of 8 bucklings and 4 doelings left to offer for sale.  Three of our doelings have already been claimed!  We will begin wethering the bucklings in the first week of April so to maintain their optimum health.  If you want a buckling act quickly so that you can get the qualities you desire before we begin wethering.  Call either 435-452-1804 or 435-458-3547 and set up a time to come play with the herd:).

And I think we are done....

Shortly after lunch today Princess presented us with two adorable kids!  We think they are both bucklings but did not spend too much time worrying about it.  We will check on everyone after they have some quiet time with mom.

The black one has a little star on his forehead, they are about an hour old in this picture.

This little guy is black and brown all over, a bit of a 'camo' pattern if you will.

We think this is the end of the baby rush here at Shamrock Farm, only one nanny did not kid and we are not sure about her.  She is a deceptive one so we will keep a close eye on her for a few more weeks but I will be surprised if anything happens there.  More pictures to come....

Here come the bucklings!!

This little guy is out of Dutchess and Thor, he is a wonderful red color all over might lighten with age.  He was born on March 12th.

This is by far my favorite buckling this year and the temptation to keep him is strong but we only have room for one buck.  He is a gorgeous tricolor and is from Tinkerbell and Thor.

Also from Tinkerbell and Thor is this cutie, you have to love the little moonspot on his hind end!

This little man is also being bottle fed but kept with momma, so he has the best of both worlds!

This buckling is out of Veronica and Thor, his markings are like his sire's but his coat is a lighter shade.

Anastasia and Thor produced this rambunctious little guy...

with a tiny little shite star on his forehead!

This blonde beauty is also Anastasia's.

He is full of personality and seems to be all over the pasture at once.

Our Bucklings begin at $175.00 and includes a single registration, disbudding, and first shots.  we hold off wethering the little guys as long as is healthy so if you see one you like don't wait!  We wether at 5 weeks of age most of the time.  We will reserve kids with a 50% deposit which is nonrefundable. 

More beautiful doelings!

This pretty girl was born on March 11th and is out of Dutchess and Thor, she is very sweet to work with already.

This is Dutchess's second doeling, she has a dorsal stripe and cute face markings.

A bit of a better view of our girl, she resembles her father's markings.

This little lady is out of our senior nanny, Veronica, and she is a neat dun/cinnamon color.

Her sweet face with a bit of white around the ears.

This gorgeous girl is also outof Veronica and of course her sire is Thor, born on March 12th.

I love her markings but we are not retaining any kids this year so she is available.

This is Anastasia's only doeling this year, born on March 12th.

She has such a sweet face!

All of our doelings begin at $150.00 and that includes one registration, disbudding, and her first shots.  The second registration can be added for $15.00 at time of purchase or $25.00 at a later date.  All of our girls are healthy and from a closed herd.  Tinkerbell's little black and white doeling is being partially hand raised but remains with her momma for security.  Contact us to arrange to visit our little piece of heaven and meet the girls (and the bucklings, we have an amazing group this year).

Doelings for sale..

We actually have 7 beautiful doelings for sale...we will start with these pictures and more will be added tomorrow.

This little girl is out of Dixie and Thor and was born March 13th.

The photo does not do the mix of light and dark brown markings on this girl's face justice.

The caretakers of Shamrock Farms have already begun handling all the littles and will continue to do so, it is a fun 'job' to have!

This little one is out of Tinkerbell and Thor, she has a great deal of white and grey on her, she was born on March 9th.

As you can see she has an adorable moonspot on her rear end, she is being hand raised and has adapted to the bottle quite well. 

All of our doelings can be registered with both AGS and NDGA, one registration is included in the $150.00 price as is disbudding and first shots. The second registration can be added for $15.00. Like I mentioned at the beginning we will add more pictures of our babies tomorrow but for now I am going to grab some sleep before our last two nannies decided to kid:).

Six more kids have joined the farm!

Early Tuesday morning first time mother Dutchess delivered triplets and had them all clean/dry before breakfast time!  She had some help from Veronica our oldest and most enthusiastic nanny, who was in the process of trying to talk the kids into staying with her.  Veronica was elated to have her own triplets at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon.  We scrambled and made a few more little nurseries so everyone can have their 48 hours of bonding time, we don't have pictures to put up yet as we were a bit scattered.  Then at 2 am this morning our wonderful dogs decided they needed to be outside and as I shut the door I heard that unmistakable scream of "where is my mommy?".  So I woke the boys and out to the shed we went just in time to help Annie finish drying off her triplets.  We put her in a nursery and stumbled back to bed.  There will be pictures and prices for each kid on this blog by tomorrow afternoon.  There are two nannies left to kid, there may be a third but she is not acting overly pregnant and has no milk as of yet so we will see.  Happy days in the pasture...pictures tomorrow sleep tonight!

The kids are here! And still arriving!

Tinkerbell was the first of our nannies to kid this year (2014) and started off in a huge way with the delivery of healthy quadruplets.  Tinkerbell is one of our sweetest girls and was hand raised by the children (owners) of Shamrock Farms back in 2012.  She gave us three bucklings and one precious doeling.  Their coloring is great and they are lively.  We are bottle raising the smallest buckling who has been dubbed "Goliath" to make sure everyone gets a solid nutritional start. 

This is one of Tinkerbell's boys at about 3 hours old.

This is the sweetest little doeling you have ever seen.

This camera shy little man is turning a greyish opal color.

And this is the mighty Goliath!  He rode with us to the orthodontist so he would not miss a feeding.

Such a sweet boy!

I will post pictures of their daddy..Thor.. a bit later right now it is time to check on the other nannies and see if there are any surprises in the pasture!  Dutchess delivered triplets early this morining, we will get her beauties up later tonight as well.
