Heartwood Farm Goats
Our goats are a mix of purebred Nigerian Dwarfs and Nigerian Dwarf - Lamancha crosses, with the exception of our oldest whether, Patchy, who is part Alpine. Goats are herd animals and form strong bonds with each other. They also enjoy people and like daily attention. We love to take our goats on walks along the property trails. Goats are browsers and will eat berry vines, poison oak, young trees and many other plants. Ours help keep our brush and weeds in check. They can also live on hay and goat-specific grain. Goats do need good fencing and a dry shelter. They HATE rain! Their lifespan is similar to a pet dog, on average 10 -15 yrs
Most of our herd is here to stay. However, we do occasionally have babies and/or additional goats which we try to rehome in order to manage our herd and ensure they all live their best lives. We will only consider loving homes. Our goats are sold in compatible groups or pairs (min) unless the new home has well-matched goat friends already. Goats that are for sale will have a price listed in their description. PLease contact us for more information.

Zippy
Lamancha x Nigerian Dwarf
Sweet Zippy and her brother, Rapid, were the first born (goat) kids on our farm! She is one of our favorite milkers, and contrary to her name, very calm and a little slow if I'm being honest.

Muffin
Lamancha x Nigerian Dwarf
Born August, 2021. Muffin is an adorable tawny with white spots and blue eyes. She's a small, rambunctious girl. Her dam, Mele is one of our favorite milkers. Her sire is our Nigerian Dwarf buck, The Dilley Goats D Pool. Muffin is unfreshened as her sire is our only buck. Muffin would likely make a great milker or pet. She's playful and a lot of fun. She would like a home where she has a lot of things to jump on and some playful friends.

A funny, spotted tawny, Dumbledore was our original buck and sired Zippy & Rapid. He was a bit of a pain though, so we decided he would be better of as a wether and he's been a cute dude ever since. He's big for a Nigerian Dwarf. No, he's not pregnant. He just has a protruding belly!
