Everyone has to have some 'misfits' on the farm! These girls are more pets than anything else, farm mascots if you will.
"Pixie and Dixie"
The first does we ever purchased - miniature in size and skirted, super cute and the quickest 'fainters' in the field. Though these two half sisters are MGR registered, they are not part of our breeding program due to their small size.
"Pipsqueak"
Miss Pippa Roo was our trouble child of 2020. The runt, or perhaps premie, of triplets, weighing less than two pounds when she was born; she spent a whole two months as a house goat. She's easily the favorite of the herd, the friendliest, and sometimes the most annoying. She'll forever have a spot here of the farm for the amount of tears, effort, and sleepless nights she caused, but she's well worth it!
"Wonder Bunny"
Oh . . .. Bunny . . . . :(
This girl was set to be a stellar little doe from the get go. From one of our nicest does, Bunny was the best out of our doe crop of 2023. The widest girl, the nicest rear and topline, and a great average daily gain as well. She became our trouble child of the year when she was found pinned under a fallen gate for an unknown length of time at only six weeks old. Bunny suffered pretty severe neurologic damage, and spent more than a week unable to stand. She was tube fed around the clock to keep up her strength as she was unable to swallow, and I was certain there was no way she was going to come out of it with any semblance of a quality of life. But she is a fighter . . .and thus "Wonder Bunny" was born. Though she sports a held tilt and walks with a limp, as well as frequently 'circling', she has forged a little spot within the herd and as long as she continues to thrive that is right where she will stay!
