Nigi Goat Brag! *Pic Heavy*

[cyanne]

Okay, so I already have 3 unregistered Nigi does and 1 soon-to-be-sold Nigi buck that I bought for backyard milk production. After much research I decided I would like to also get a small herd of registered Nigi's and possibly get into showing as well.

I reserved this little buckling from Piddlin Acres a while back:

Piddlin Acres BD Whata Beau
Feb 2009
Sire: Dill's XM Bo Didley
Dam: Piddlin Acres BZ Whata Diva

And while I was waiting for him to be weaned the breeder told me that she would have some of her yearling breeding does for sale soon since she had kept back several kids this year. After much buttering-up of my DH, I am excited to say that I have also bought these two girls from the Piddlin Acres herd:

Piddlin Acres CB Ruby Slippers
born April 2008
Sire: Piddlin Acres BZ Cowboy Boots
Dam: MCH Little Rascals Emerald*D

Pecan Hollow C Biker Chick
born 2/23/08
Sire: Pecan Hollow SFB Constantine (Twin Creeks San Fransisco Bay x Pecan Hollow Creme De Mint)
Dam: Pecan Hollow GL Chickadee (Goodwood Laredo x MCH/CH Twin Creeks Meadowlark)

Biker Chick will be bred back to Velvet Acres Patriot Missile before I pick them all up and I am hoping for at least one doe from that breeding (she had triplets last time so hopefully I will get lucky) so I'll have 3 or more good does to go along with my little buck. Here is a pic of Patriot:

So, what do you think? Is this a good start for a nice quality ND herd?

They are beautiful--I'm so jealous. Your little buckling is very flashy--great color!

I don't know much about showing but those does look really nice. Love that udder! Congrats on what looks like a great start to your new herd.

Very Nice!!! Are goats $$ to keep? As far as food and supplies?

CONGRATS!!! And a Pecan Hollow girl, too! Oh, you are off to a fabulous start! Way to go!

Actually they are pretty cheap to feed, they spend a lot of time grazing in their pasture and don't need a whole lot of grain. The expensive part has been the set-up like building them a pasture and housing.

But, just like with chickens it is sometimes better NOT to try adding it all up, right?

Very nice nigis. I show Alpines and Lamanchas. I would love to get some nigis but my DH seems to think enough is enough. I'm jealous.
