Dangit, thought I was done with the housegoat thing this year 🙄🤦‍♀️

Ziggy refused breakfast and says her tummy hurts. Running through enterotoxemia protocols as a precaution. Hopefully caught it fast enough she’ll be alright 🙏

Well that’s phancy 🤩

One of our keepers, Echolight Rambling “Gossip” is linebred on EX90 Gabby, and I think that is not surprising looking at her now ;)

She’s soooo deep bodied and dairy. Polled, too!

Alright folks, these are the last kids of the season being offered up for 2026 -

From Spy X Onyx born 4/16/26:
Doeling “Onyx’s Dolores” - Sundgau, super cute with a lovely topline, pretty dairy character and nice set to the hind legs. Her dam is one of our best young does, with a lovely mammary system and a gorgeous body to match. Ideal teat size and buttery soft udder texture. This is our very last Onyx offspring, so if you wanted one from us, now is your chance! I’ve had to talk myself out of keeping her repeatedly!

From PreTzel X Ramble born 4/06/26:
POLLED Buckling “Rambling Tzummit” - lightly broken Cou Clair. This guy has a 10/10 head shape, with a super wedgy head, deep jaw, wide open nostrils and delicate ears that we love! I’ve had to talk myself out of keeping this one too, as he would have limited use here, but my loss is your gain! Lovely shoulders with great brisket extension, lovely topline and a pretty rump angle. We dried off his dam after collecting the colostrum as we didn’t need her in milk, but her mammary is almost identical to her dam EX90 Mooshie’s. Tzummit’s sire’s dam os EX90 Gabby, and his dam’s sire is EX90 Onyx. Lots of solid LA scores and production backing this pedigree!!

From Scribble X Ramble 3/19/26:
Buckling “Bull Session” - broken Sundgau, long bodied guy with a lot of depth and another handsome head. Linebred on one of our foundation does, Gabby EX90. Dam is another EX90 Onyx daughter Scribble, who scored V88 as a first freshening 2 year old. Scribble needs an updated photo shoot, but she’s dropped that rear rib and has a beautiful dairy wedge shape, correct feet and legs, and a solidly attached productive mammary. We enthusiastically retained this guy’s littermate sister!

When the sister herd sends up the bat signal, we answer!
Their senior herdsire, milkshake, managed to fillet his leg. And I do mean fillet…Down to the bone 🤢 We helped get him patched up though! Flushed it, applied mannuka honey, and wrapped.

TRIGGER WARNING - Pic in comments is GRAPHIC!

Little Nyx’s Shiny Onyx *B

2/15/2018 - 12/18/2025 🌈

Deeply saddened to share that our senior herdsire Onyx passed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was the sweetest gentleman of a buck I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning, and threw many beautiful kids over the years. He’s left 4 beautiful daughters in our current herd (Twinkle, Scribble, Pinky, and PreTzel) and appears to have settled two does for me before he passed (as well as a couple from our sister herd YFH).
Special thanks to Rebecca Nyx for flying Onyx to us all the way from California almost 8 years ago. He’s been such a blessing and a credit to his pedigree.

Enjoy greener pastures, my friend. You were so very special 💔
