Nigerian Dwarf Girls

Poppy was our first Nigerian dwarf mama to join our farm. She came from strong milking genetics and has NEVER given us a problem! She is a great mama, and she is definitely the ‘queen boss’ of the dwarfs! She usually grows a lovely black goatie over the winter, until her kids chew it off each spring.

Jazzy was born at Jireh Hills our first season with Nigerian dwarfs. She has a flashy white patch on her hind leg, and we often see that distinct mark on her kids. Genetics are so exciting to see unfold!

Juniper is Poppy’s daughter, and she is way easier-going than her mama. Interestingly, she loves to dance, so she often jumps up on visitors and asks for a dance! She isn’t shy about it either! She is a lovely multi-coloured girl with white speckles on her face and belly. She really just loves any attention she can get! She has a distinct letter “H” on her belly side, so we call her the alphabet mama as she seems to pass her letters along to her kids!

June Bug, June Bug!!! There’s always one in every crowd and June Bug is it!!! We call her the ‘moocher’ as all her sisters pay her way around here (joke!). June Bug has NEVER given us a single kid, but we still love her to death. We were told that we could artificially induce a heat cycle to ‘kick start’ her hormones into action, but we decided to just let nature takes its toll. She gets a free stay around here, but she’s worth it!!!

Our first blue-eyed doeling, Blue Belle was an easy keeper. She’s a daughter to Juniper and very similar to her in temperament. Although, she has officially learned to dance yet, she’s a friendly girl that loves her armpits tickled!!!

Shy and sweet, but kinda’ taken advantage of by her pen-mates, we always have to keep an eye that Clover isn’t getting too pushed around. Clover is meek and quiet and never causes a problem. She likes to be alone sometimes, especially with her new babies. She takes mama-hood very serious and enjoys snuggle time with her babies.

Another daughter of Juniper, and half-sister to Blue Belle, Tansy was immediately a part of the family. She came out spelling letter “A” and “L”, so our daughters, Ava and Lexie, just knew she had to stay here. Her first kids should arrive spring 2020, so we’ll just wait to see what letters they spell.

Jazzy’s daughter with blue eyes from her father, Rocky Road. She a sweet and affectionate girl that has been a bit spoiled around here. She loves snuggles and won’t hesitate to fall asleep on your lap if you rub her the right way!

Holly has a history that started here at conception, although she was born at another amazing farm, Huron Farms, and made her way back here before she delivered her first kid in 2020. We are super excited that she returned to us, and we absolutely love her easy-going attitude and friendly attitude with all the other goats. She is often a pen mate to keep other goats company, cuz she just gets along with everyone!

We were completely surprised when mama, Jireh Hills Juniper, popped only this single doeling out in Spring 2022.  Juniper was so huge, and we were prepared for a big litter of kids.  To our surprise and pleasure, just one big Peppercorn arrived and she hasn’t stopped growing and finding a place in everyone’s heart since that day.
