What a Spring!

We have already sold all of our doelings and five of our bucklings this year!  We are so excited to work with this year's buyers, all of our goats are getting excellent homes, we love that!!  The following pictures are of the 7 little guys who are left, we are hoping that a few of them will go to breeders as they show excellent potential.  However, we will start wethering any unreserved males at 6 weeks of age.  This weekend will see us start de-horning and immunizing the little ones as well.  Wethers are $100 and Billys are $150, all goats can be registered for a fee.  Thanks for taking a look at our little herd!
This is Flash, he is super friendly and loves a good scratch.  He has great potential as a billy.

This is one of our littlest guys...he is mostly fawn colored with the white star.

This is one stubborn boy who did not want his picture taken!

Both of the black goats are available males.

This young man has some dark markings.

This is one fun kid!  And an available male!

This is the second of our mostly black with a bit of white here and there boys.
Come visit these little guys, they are a lot of fun and we would love to match you with the right one.  We can be reached at 435-458-3547 or 435-452-1804.

They are here!!!

Saturday March 7th saw our first kids arrival and by the 13th six does had produced a total of twenty kids.  Sadly two were stillborn but the eighteen left are gorgeous and healthy!  We started with 12 bucklings and six doelings, 1 buckling and 4 doelings have already found their new homes but we have plenty of kids left to choose from.  The first 2 pictures are the doelings that we still have and they are pretty!!!

This little darling is out of Veronica, one of the best mother's I have ever seen.  I will post pictures of the nannies and our billy "Thor" tomorrow:).

This shy little one is out of Dutchess and is already getting attached to people.

We have had a bummer crop of little boys this year and one of the little bucks has already been spoken for.  However there are 11 more to choose from including one blue eyed and several with wonderful coloring that we would love to see remain intact and be used for breeding purposes.
These two little guys are Veronica's and have a few stray white markings but are a wonderful blue-black color, they would be great to add some deep color to a herd.


This is one of Princesses little boys, his ears are still a bit curled but with time they will lay correctly.  He is quite small but definitely feisty.

This gorgeous boy is out of Dutchess and has wonderful face markings that do not show in this photo.

I have to admit I really like this boy, he just struts around the pasture all day, he has chocolate eyes to go with his markings and is out of our blue eyed doe Dixie.

Dixie's other boy has her blue eyes. We would really love to see this youngster remain intact and go to a good breeder.  He has a sweet personality as well. 

This tri color is out of Princess and is obviously a bit camera shy.

This boy is out of Dutchess as well and is just a happy little thing all the time.


We have three other bucklings to off that are out of Anastasia but I do not have their photos yet.  I will post those tomorrow along with pictures of the mothers and the wonderful 'Thor'.

We offer doelings at $150, bucklings at $150, and wethers at $100, this price includes baby shots, disbudding, and wethering services.  Registration is available at $15 for one or $20 for double, you do not have to register your goats but it is an option.  We do offer discounts on the purchase of multiples.  We strongly encourage you to choose and reserve the kids you want and then claim them after they are at least 6 weeks of age.  All of our does take excellent care of their kids and we offer plenty of interaction to them on a daily basis, if you really must experience bottle feeding we will consider each case separately.  We love our goats here at Shamrock Farm and want them to go to good homes, we will do all we can to help you find happiness with your own Nigerian Dwarf goat.  Please call Sheila at 435-458-3547 or 458-452-1804.  We look forward to hearing from you.  Check back for more pics soon!
