2 yr old Nigerian Dwarf doe In-Milk - $250 (Sheridan)

Hello there, I have a two year old Nigerian doe for sale. She is registered with ADGA and has been my 4-H project for the last two years. Stanchion-trained, been shown multiple times, clipped, bathed, and stands for hoof trims beautifully.

I purchased her when she was 7 months old, and her 1st freshening she had 1 doeling and 1 buckling with no birthing complications (I still have the doeling); this year she had two healthy bucklings w/ no complications. The bucklings are just starting to be weaned off her milk, so I'm not sure how much she is currently making, as I have only been milking her in the mornings (when I can manage to lock up her crazy boys for the night!). Last year we we're milking her twice a day and she has delicious milk, very high in butterfat.

As far as showing goes, she showed quite well and won grand champion doeling last time I took her. She has good confirmation, and a pretty ok udder with good attachments; however one of her teats has a double. The double teat has no mammary attached, and in my opinion, makes her easier to milk. BUT if you were to take her to a show, she would be disqualified b/c judges aren't ok with double teats. The only reason she did well when she was a doeling was because her udder was not developed, and the double teat was positioned in just the right place for the judge not to notice.

This does name is Tumbelina. A few things about her personality, she has an attitude. When I say attitude, I mean she won't want to come unless she thinks you have food. And if she sees you as a threat in any silly little way, she will rear on her back legs and pretend to butt you. I was trying to catch her herd mate the other day, and she did just that.
If you have small children, this goat is not a goat for you because she will knock your kids down. Sorry to sound harsh, but that is the plain truth. When my relatives come over, I have to tie her to the fence, or she'll push on their children and knock them down. I learned that the hard way. (Did you know moms can be vicious when they feel their children were in danger?)
However, if she can learn that your children give her food, I think something could be worked out. I asked a 3 yr old to help me once with the goats, and I was struck with an idea; what if Tumbelina would like little kids if they gave her food? I gave the 3 yr old some grain and told them to feed the goat, they did that and Tumble's still eyed them but she took the grain, and I was able to let her off and she didn't knock the 3 yr old down.

Tumble's is an affectionate goat. When I sit out there she'll come and rest her head on my leg, or lay down by my feet, all the while loving the scratches I bestow upon her. She is an easy keeper and is really easy to have around.

To sum it up, if this goat sounds good for you give me a ring or email. Questions are fine too; but if you're asking questions I already answered on here, like how old she is - I will not answer you. Obviously you cannot read or don't care enough to read it all. But if you have any honest ones, I will happily answer.

LOL if we did that we would never sell anything!!!
 
Would be better if she condensed it. She got wordy and not many people are going to read it all. Also she states not kid safe, but maybe you get teach her to be better by having children offer her food. ... yeah I have 6 children and no not interested in seeing if the animal will injure the children.
