Last Saturday i went to our in house show at Stonehaven, thankyou Petit Paradis Mini Goats for hosting and all the hard work you put in to setting up and making the day great.

I took Miss Bling to her first show and she was not happy, but she is only a baby and I’m sure in time she will enjoy it haha, first shows are always crazy with the little ones.

We have had a very busy last few weeks, preparing goats for the Royal Hobart Show mini goat section, clipping, washing, hoof trimming to make them look amazing. We took Riverstone Cherry Bomb, Jahanda Milo and Kirrasumm Kidz Snickers, I’m very proud of them all.

Cherry was 2nd in Best presented and 2nd in her class.

Milo was reserve in his class

Snickers was 2nd in his class

Jahanda were sponsors for the mini goat section, Hanna and Kodi, I wanted to Thankyou for taking the time to hand draw and paint the little canvas for each exhibitor, basing each goat on the colours of some of their goat kids they were amazing. We hope everyone found their prizes useful.
Congratulations to everyone on their achievements for the day.

We also delivered Cookie and Drover (now named Floyd) to their new owners and I’m sure they are enjoying their new paddock and family.

We have 3 does to kid over the next couple of weeks and I’m hoping Bree decides to go a little early or on her due date after this Saturday’s show.

I’ll be tidying up our little show team for Saturday which will also be Miss Blings first show, 🫣 hopefully she behaves haha

We are busily preparing for our first show for this half of the year with the Royal Hobart Show (Miniature Goat section) at Glenorchy this Saturday. I’m only taking a small team of 3 as we have only just weaned kids (what a noisy affair it’s been) and I would like the does to dry up and also gain their condition back, as raising a kid takes a lot out of the mums.

I clipped the 3 that I’m taking and I have to say they are looking great (with help from Nathan and Jack ) Although they are probably not liking the change in the weather, I don’t clip very short as our weather is always a bit colder then other places.

Our last 4 does to kid have entered blimp mode in baking their kid/s and I’ll be clipping their backends and udders so there is less mess to clean and keeps their hair relatively clean from the muck of kidding.

It will be a busy month as the kidding dates fall in around all the show dates.

I’m excited to see what is born.

If you would like to have the kids once weaned join your family please send me a message.

We are very excited to introduce a new member of our herd

Riverstone Cherry Bomb

We travelled to Melbourne via The Spirit of Tasmania, Nathan, Jack and I had a great time away.

We picked Cherry up on Saturday afternoon and then travelled back to board to the spirit to come home, I’m sure Cherry was excited to get in to the paddock after being on the boat overnight.

She is a wonderful doe and has the most amazing temperament, I’m looking forward to showing her.

Thank you Seleena and Stewart from Riverstone Miniature Goats for Cherry, we think she is going to be a great addition to our herd and look forward to seeing what she produces in the future.

The kids are growing nicely and we will begin weaning very soon, the countdown is on for show season to begin on the 10th of October for the Royal Hobart Show.
We clipped our goats and I must say I don’t think they liked it very much though I think the warmer weather may win them over a bit, I will be tidying up the clips this week.

Also our next batch of kiddings with Pickle, Bree, Bekki and Bindi, when we did ultrasounds we looked to have multiples in 3 of the does, looking forward to seeing what we get, kids will be available once weaned.

Then our kidding season will be over until next year.

We added a scratching post to our big buck pen and suffice to say they love it, I think I’ll be purchasing more for the other paddocks, more fencing will be done so we can have more space to move the goats around. I’m looking forward to what is coming for Jahanda and the steps we are taking to have a better system for our goats.

Well I’m a few days behind in posting, but we have now finished kidding until the next group are due in October so the countdown will begin with that soon.

On the 25th Paisley started kidding, I knew she was having twins as we scanned our does. But the surprise for us was whether they were going to be twin does, bucks or one of each, I was just excited like I always am to see new life come into the world.

Paisley being a first timer i thought her labour would have lasted longer but she was calm and got down to it, she silently and unassisted gave birth to two beautiful doelings, they are tiny little things but very cute. 🥰 She is looking after them well which is amazing.

Their colours are gorgeous and my goodness they are energetic little ones.

We are excited to watch these two doelings grow out, they add new genetics to our herd.

Dam: Riverstone Paisley
Sire: Riverstone Mr Boombastic

We have named them after Gemstones
