Potting Shed MM Austin Rose *P EX91 took grand champion for senior Nigerians at the NTFF and got her last leg so now she's finished champion!!! And to make the day even better, her daughter Mythos O Fate of Norns got reserve grand champion as well. Mother/daughter powerhouse duo. 💪

Some other highlights of the day: 805 FB Emerald 3*M VG85 got first in her class, and her daughter Blackbriar E Maven got second in her dry yearling class (and is the first goat with my barn name to place!!).

My best show so far, I couldn't ask for any better and I'm just SO happy Aussie got her final leg for that permanent championship. She also qualifies for Select Doe so I'll be applying for that asap as well!

Thank you to the judge, it was a pleasure to show under you (apologies I can't remember her name) and Linda Carlson for the photo and all the hard work putting the show together. What an exciting day! I couldn't be more pleased. Some happy tears were definitely shed. 🥹

Extremely stoked to have this guy here full time! 😍

Eminem has blossomed into the most gorgeous 3yo buck. I've admired him since I laid eyes on him and like fine w**e he's only gotten better with time. I can't wait to see how he looks in another couple years, and what he does for my herd! 🥺

09/04/2026

I'll be announcing breeding pair reservations soon! Probably after the fall fair this weekend. I also have some does available that can go bred or open, pics are on my page here, just scroll down 👇

This season should be very interesting, with some exciting new additions including a buck I've admired ever since I laid my eyes on him 😍 feeling very lucky and blessed with good friends and fortune since I started my goat journey, and I want to share that good fortune this spring..! Stay tuned 🥰

08/19/2026

Like always, I'll be there! This year I have a modest lineup with Aussie, Fate, & Emerald coming as milkers, and Emerald's daughter Maven making her debut as a dry yearling. 🥰 Really hoping for that last leg for Aussie lol, this is our last chance at it until next year

I would keep these does, but for a reason that will be made clear soon enough, I'm looking to move along a couple goats to new farms. All are registered stock.
ALL are either disbudded or polled, UTD on vaccines and lice prevention, and will come with a fresh hoof trim. Herd is clean tested as of 2025 and I haven't brought any new goats in since.

✨ Nigerians ✨

Both are from quality show and milking lines, with notable animals in their lineage. Both are DRY but I have included udder photos from this year.

First is Delta, a 4yo second freshener. Delta classified GP84 this year. Delta has Castle Rock Black Oak as her grand sire, a very well known US import sire that has done alot for Canadian Nigerian genetics. Delta is solid black with blue eyes, and has a nice mammary system developing for a 2F. She has great teat placement and medial. She also has an eye catching general appearance with good length to her. Will tolerate both and hand machine milking, she gave me triplets this year without any trouble. Would make an excellent show goat for those wanting to get into the show ring, brood goat or homestead milker.. 500

Second is Blue, Blue is also a solid black with blue eyes, and a very reliable doe on the stand. Knows her job and does it without any fuss. Blue classified GP84 this year. Blue is a Further Jim Beam daughter. She's a pleasure to hand milk with large orifices and willingness to let down. She gave me quads this year. Blue also has a lovely long general appearance, sets up nice and is generally a very well mannered goat. She still has plenty of breeding years left in her and would make an excellent brood goat, show goat or homestead milker... 400

✨ Standard size ✨

And last, a standard size goat that needs a PET/LIGHT HOMESTEAD UTILITY HOME only. We are quite attached to Bianca, shes a doll. Bianca is a very sweet goat. Extremely friendly and easy to handle, a child could walk her on a leash without trouble. She is a Saanan mix. She loves people, getting scratches, and is absolutely an excellent brush clearing/fire mitigation goat. She could potentially be a 4H goat (dry). I'm rehoming her for the fact that she should NOT be bred again after this lactation. You can keep her in milk for her current (and final) lactation for as long as you want, and she produces lots of milk. She freshened early this year and is still giving me 2L+ a day on once a day milking (at the height of her lactation she was giving almost a gallon!) But her udder attachments are very poor and any subsequent freshenings will cause her udder to break down and hang even more. She has to be milked daily until you decide to dry her up or her udder gets very full. If you want her as just a pet and don't want to milk, I can start drying her off. But it would be nice for her to go to a home that will utilise her until she drys up. 200 obo (priority will be finding her a suitable home)

Another available goat, I just need to downsize. I like this doe. This is Wonderland HM London Bridge.
London classified VG85 this year. She is a 3F. She has a very nice long general appearance, with decent medial and teat placement. Easy to hand and machine milk. London is also a very unique color. At first I thought she was gold roan with moonspots, but paired with a black buck she threw no gold kids. She had buckskin kids with various degrees of roaning. She is definitely roan with blue eyes, but I suspect she is also some sort of buckskin lacking cape, or the roan is covering it up. Either way, my loss is your gain. I was going to keep her around for another freshening. Currently dry and ready for breeding season. And yes she does have a couple small moonspots and blue eyes, if that's important to you. 500. Located in Barriere, but can deliver to Kamloops or Clearwater (or anywhere in between). Deal can be made if you want 2 or more goats together.

Speaking of Lux, here is the keeper doe kid from her this year! She's a little on the shy side, so I don't have as many photos of her but I'll work on that. She's looking like she's gonna be a thick doe just like her dam. Look at that neck!

Lux, Azura's dam, was my very first goat. Sending her off to a new farm was bittersweet & very hard for me, but I'm confident in the choice and home she went to. Both her and Di will be the foundation of a new show herd for someone else, just like she did for me... Lux's progency will live on in my herd and I'll continue to build on them for years to come.

Part of being a good goat breeder is knowing when to make hard cuts to get numbers down, and these choices are not based on emotion but rational thought. I have this beautiful doe kid and 2 gorgeous grandkids out of Lux (Blackbriar E Briar Heart & Blackbriar E Sweet Roll). And when you absolutely need to get numbers down, moving along goats that you have retained several generations from only makes sense. I also want to focus on goats with my barn name, so unless they are absolutely exceptional I will likely move along goats that are from other farms once I've retained a kid or two.

Oh Bla Di also gave me a mini me version of herself, a gorgeous chocolate roan who I've been calling Di just like her dam before her. Her dam has moved along to a show home along with Lux. There is no confusion here on who's who, so she can be Di just like her dam. She is also maturing very nicely, despite not standing still for photos.
