Introducing our new main herd sire for years to come! we’ve promised to keep him here till his end, he’s 4 years old, pure adga registered Nigerian dwarf. He’s gold, and covered in gorgeous moonspots!
If you remember Juno- the buckling we recently traded a doe for, this is his dad. Right after we got Juno, their breeder posted noah. I just couldn’t pass up on him, I was going to our right purchase him and keep both Juno and Noah, but since we’ve downsized out herd we saw no reason to have son/father bucks, as the relations in the herd would end up being too close within just one season. She had previously offered to trade Juno back for Noah. We declined and I opted to buy him instead at the time, then we realized later how small our herd has gotten (we went from roughly 25 -30 does and 5 or so bucks down to just 10 does, which 3/4 of them aren’t registered and won’t be bred anymore, and one buck. I asked if she was still okay with doing the trade, and well she said yes! So while we no longer own Juno, I think we are more than beyond pleased with Noah. He beats every expectation I have always wanted In a buck. For starters he’s amazing to look at! He’s also BIG! the bucks we’ve always had were tiny, around the 45-55 pound range never really “nice” even if they were registered and flashy.Apollo, my first buck, and Leo, my most recent buck were some phenomenal breeders. We kept 2 from Apollo, nyx and Alice. Nyx is a great FF milker and we’re pleased with her, but she’s just small,and took over 2 years to get full grown. Alice is decent sized but we think she absorbed her baby/babies so we don’t know what she will do as a FF. I am so happy/grateful for Leo’s short presence here and he gave us 14 stunning babies, 2 of which we retained In hopes to pair to Noah this fall (assuming they get up to an appropriate weight). Anyways, I’m just so excited for this guy, we really like his lineage! and hoss seems to be happy to have a buddy again! Juno hated him lol. I think Noah and hoss will be great friends!! 🥰
enjoy the pics of hoss looking like a little stinking warthog 😂
