Doelings (and a buck) that need to go!

I think it is time for a couple of the girls, and one of the boys, to go. I don't need that many to milk and I really would like to have an all registered Oberhasli herd.
Both of these girls are about 7 months old and come from a friends dairy herd. They were bottle raised on pasteurized milk and are very friendly. They have been dis-budded, vaccinated and wormed. The girls have been running with an older registered Oberhasli buck, so it is possible that they are bred.

LaMancha type doeling


I also have an 8 month old registered Oberhasli buckling I would like to sell.

I'd like to get $75 each for the does, or $125 for the pair of them. I'm asking $150 for the buck, but I am open to trades too.

Bunny Update - Week 5 1/2

The garden has kept me pretty busy the last coupla weeks, so I haven't kept up with the fluffy updates. The oldest litter is in a large pen and I'm getting ready to separate out the boys from the girls so we don't have any funny business going on. They are all developing beautiful coats and becoming big fluffy balls of wool, YAY! I still have a few black bucks for sale from this litter. Either that or I'll have a LOT of black fibre for sale down the road.









The next litter is HUGE for their age and one has the cutest white marks on its nose. Only the one white baby in this litter, the rest are black. I find that interesting since momma is white herself.



The last litter is growing well and there seems to be a lot of neat colors in this batch of eight. One is a beautiful silver/pewter color which is not showing up well in this photo at all!

We have gotten back to some rainy, spring like weather this week as a respite from the hot and humid days we had a week ago. The rain is slowing down some of the progress in the garden since I still have a few areas that need to be re-tilled. I'm hoping to get everything finished this week and start planting broccoli and cauliflower seedlings for the fall garden. I also picked up two dozen strawberry plants that need a raised bed made for them. It will be nice when I'm harvesting more than broccoli, lettuce, chard and radishes. I can't wait for my first tomato!

Goat for Sale! Goat for sale!


Sorry big boy, as much as I like ya (most days!), ya gotta go! Conner is a handsome, healthy ADGA registered American Oberhasli yearling buck. My two older does that he bred last season were given to me because they have CAE and they will not be healthy enough to breed again so the only purebred does I have are his daughters and therefore he needs to find a new home that is in need of his services. He is skittish, but not at all aggressive. By that I mean he is a bit difficult to catch, but he won't charge or head butt you as you are trying. I've kept him wormed and he has had CDT and Bo/Se. He does have some scur growth, but it is close to his head and hasn't caught or broken in the past.


Though I wasn't able to get their noses out of the hay, the Oberhasli kids in this photo, one doe and one buck, are his offspring. The buck kid will be available too, as soon as I get him tattooed and registered.


I'd like $150 for him, or would trade for an unrelated buck or registered doe, or I don't know, what else do you have? He is located in SW Wisconsin near the Iowa/Illinois border.
