Farm Family

The Herd

Believe it or not, we started with just four goats in 2015! If you have ever had goats, you know how addictive they are – and how demanding they are! The goats really run the farm. Their schedule is our schedule, especially at kidding time. Each has their own personality and they provide so much happiness and laughter around here!

Bucks

Bayou Country NO Balleroy (Leroy)

Best Beard in Town

Leroy has the coolest beard in town and he knows it. He loves to have his beard brushed and will always raise his head high so you can do a thorough job. He still acts like a kid, running and jumping, so full of energy! He thrives on attention and is always happy to get hugs and kisses!

Bayou Country NO Beaudacious (Buster)

Buck in Charge

Buster is such a handsome fellow. The girls stand in line to chat with him. He throws the cutest teddy bear kids! Buster thinks he is in charge of the buck pen and we play along. Buster is a fan of peanut hay, hugs, and afternoon naps in the sun.

Ma has been on the farm longer than we have! She definitely is the queen of the pasture and keeps everyone in check. All that responsibility makes her rather aloof and quiet, but ever watchful. Her weakness is lip balm. Just a dab on her lips.

Ma

This is my herd.

Ygrette was once definitely a wildling. like her namesake. One of our visitors was determined to be friends with her and did! That was all it took for Ygrette, our queen’s daughter, to trust us. Her famous feature is is her fluffy cheeks!

Ygrette

The wild soul girl

Daisy Mae came with the farm and was the shyest goat around! It was almost three years before she trusted us enough to let us touch her. Now, she likes soft massages and really loves peanut hay. She is the zen goat – she has all the wisdom of the world in her eyes.

Be one with the peanut hay

Oreo also came with the farm. She was Ma’s little kid in the summer of 2015. She is a bit shy, but will always come for treats! She especially likes the leaves off the citrus trees.

Oreo

It is all about the look

Oreo’s daughter, Cake is the farm dinner bell. She is also the dining supervisor and ensures meals are served on time. She probably starts counting the minutes down from breakfast.

Cupcake (Cake)

Is it dinner time?

Vicki, and her twin brother Vincent, were the first kids born at Goat House Farm. Vicki is crazy for animal crackers and she can smell them a mile away. She is gentle girl who likes to daydream about pastures full of sunflowers.

Vicki

I live for animal crackers

From the moment Vixen was born she had a special kind of elegance about her. Her black cowl, pink nose, and petite frame makes her the belle of the ball everywhere she goes. Who couldn’t love that smirk?

Vixen

I am above all this....

Velma and Daphne are proof of the loving bond between sisters. They are always together and cry if one wanders too far away from the other. Velma is very affectionate and she is one of our best mothers, often nursing her sister’s kids too!

Velma

Sisters are best friends!

Daphne, Velma’s sister, is our little Swiss girl. Her favorite thing is forehead rubs and if you don’t do it for her, she will rub her head all over your legs to remind you!

Daphne

Forehead rubs, please

When Ava came to us, with her son Antony, she cowered in the corner and was afraid of everything. Now, all she wants is some love and attention (and hay). She is such a beautiful girl and is never far from her daughters, Ailee and Aghna.

Call Me Ava

Just love me

Tri joined the farm in May 2019 from 3 Lees Farm. She has dreams of being a showgirl and is already practicing her poses for the judges. She demands to come in the kitchen each morning for her own fruit salad.

Tri Bee

Follow your dreams

Delilah showed up at our door when one day when her previous family thought she wasn’t “a good fit” for them. She was a house goat and now she has learned how to be a real goat. We can’t imagine sweet Delilah not fitting in any where. She is not only simply adorable, but her eyes melt hearts.

Delilah

I am getting this whole goat thing.

Baby Ruth is Delilah’s daughter and definitely has her mother’s chill nature. She is so calm and cool and just overall incredibly sweet. She seems to be taking in everything around her and contemplating the meaning of goat life! She is never without her sweet smile!

Baby Ruth

Smile and the herd smiles with you.

Penny is the most gentle of our does. She lives for massages and will actually fall asleep standing right up if you pet her for a while. Like all goats, she loves to eat, but we are pretty sure she will take hugs over treats any day!

Penny

I just need a hug, please.

Bean is Penny’s lovely daughter. Bean means “half a penny.” She is an angel on the stand and can often be found napping in the wheelbarrow or the wagon. She has the sweetest face highlighted by her sky blue eyes. Bean is a little shy when meeting new people.

Bean

The angel milker

Aspen is as sweet as she can be (ok, we are being sarcastic here). She chats and mumbles a lot. We sure wish we knew what she was saying! Aspen loves her peanut hay and alfalfa pellets. She is really beautiful and reminds us of an antelope in her grace and lovely horns. She is most definitely smarter than the average goat! She is also the barnyard bully.

Aspen

Star Dairy Girl, Ret.

Cypress is Aspen’s daughter and sleeps with her mom every night. We love her slick and shiny coat. She has a serious weakness for peanut hay and is such a sweet girl.

Cypress

Momma's Girl

Breeze loves hugs! She is as elegant as she is sweet. She probably wouldn’t want us to tell you this, but she is quite the snorer! We can’t help but laugh when she naps! She is also an absolutely amazing dairy girl!

Breeze

Easy Breezy Covergirl

Onyx is our midnight Oberhasli. She is a dream on the stand. She loves alfalfa and, while she pretends to be serious, we’ve caught her jumping on the trampoline with her red girls, Primrose and Edelweiss!

Onyx

Always be a little mysterious

Opal is Onyx’s sister and we brought her to the farm as a Christmas gift for Onyx who didn’t have any of her family here. She is a tough girl to get to know, aloof and silent. She loves to hang out, quite literally, over the tires!

Opal

The silent one

Junior Does

Punkin and her sister Pepper Potts joined the farm in early 2021 from Belle Meadow Farm and we are so exited to have them! Punkin likes to climb and is really curious about cats, often sneaking up behind them to say hello!

Pumpkin Pie

Here, kitty, kitty....

Pepper Potts loves Punkin and hates the cold weather. Lucky for her, we don’t have too many cold days here. She is especially proud of her beautiful moonspots! She is a snuggler who also loves to be brushed.

Pepper Potts

Turn the heat on please.

Oh Corrie…. she is a handful, always sneaking into the milkroom to be sure the feed is mixed properly. She is our first mini-nubian (Breeze’s daughter and Tri’s half sister) from 3 Lee’s Farm. We love her, but we do tease her about her those ears!

Corrie Ann

Quit talking about my ears!

Aghna and her sister Ailee are Ava’s beautiful daughters. We are really excited to see them grow up into beautiful dairy girls! Aghna has such a soft coat and enjoys lots of petting and grooming!

Aghna

Does my hair look ok?

Ailee only has one thing she dislikes – walking on a lead! She doesn’t mind walking with you, but she wants to do it on her terms. She is a dainty little girl who is never far from her mom and sister.

Ailee

Ms. Independent

Sequoia is very adept at convincing our volunteers that she belongs wherever she is not supposed to be – the milkroom, the kidding pens… anywhere there is extra food and treats! She is Aspen’s granddaughter and, fortunately, didn’t get Aspen’s attitude.

Sequoia

I'm supposed to be here.

Mignon is a tiny little girl. We call her our half Dalmatian and half black lab. Vixen’s daughter, she carries her mother’s charm and grace. She is very attached to her mother – and to oranges.

Mignon (Minnie Moo)

Don't let my size fool ya!

Tri’s little daughter, Aisling (pronounced ashling), is our newest very junior. The only girl of triplets, we have a lot of hopes pinned on her future udder! We can’t wait to watch her grow and thrive!

Aisling (Ash)

Hello world, I'm here!

Teagen will probably be a junior doe forever. She is quite petite! She can be found anywhere her brother Tierney is.

Teagen Bee

The Dainty Doe

Primrose and her sister Edelweiss came with their mother Onyx. Boer Ober mixes, they are already looking more Boer than dairy! Prim has always liked people a bit more than her shyer sister and she will happily come up to you for attention!

Primrose

Ailee, don't photobomb me!

Edel used to be very shy but she has come into her own. She can usually be found at the hay bale or hanging out with her mom and sister. We think she is especially elegant and beautiful.

Edelweiss

Redheads have all the fun.

Wethers

Lucky was a total surprise in the barn one morning. We didn’t even know his mother Cake was pregnant! He has a perfect horseshoe on his back, so Lucky was a perfect name. We also love his freckled nose!

Lucky

My baby blues will melt your heart.

Big Boy is timid like his mother Daisy. He grew up with his very best friend, Boots. We always know when someone is trying to take Big Boy’s food because he yells very loud and it sounds just like he is saying “Noooo no no.”

Big Boy

I'd rather not be touched, thank you.

Bootsie is our special boy. When he was little he liked to stand out in the pasture all by himself, but now is more social and his best friend Big Boy keeps him company. Together, they like to climb logs and watch the chickens. Bootsie is a sucker for bananas.

Bootsie

Sneak me a banana pretty please.

Tucker is such a gentle soul. Affectionate and sweet, he loves to work alongside anyone in the pasture. Fixing a fence or sweeping the barn, Tucker will be right by your side for moral support. He needs a custom tool belt though!

Mr. Tucker

May I help please?

Stormy is our bottle baby. We broke our rule of no goats in the house with him since we didn’t want to go out every hour with a bottle. He is spoiled, slick, and super sneaky. He loves to nibble on ears and plant kisses on necks.

Stormy Wether

Spoiled? Who me?

The Flock

Remi loves baby animals – kittens, chicks, ducks, goats – he will sit by them all day and not let anyone near. If a kid is sick, he cries until someone puts it next to him where he can lick and cuddle it. As he gets older, he mostly stays on the couch watching Animal Planet.

Remington Farnsworth Wellington III

I protect all the babies - goats, kids, chickens. I love them all!

Lady’s achilles’ heel is Temptations treats and it is about the only thing she will come inside for. She likes to hangout in the common room and staff room where she tries to convince everyone she is starving to death. She isn’t.

Lady

Treats, now.

When he was a little guy (he really was, once), Houdini’s castration went bad and he was probably headed for the market. Jon, one of our workcampers, fell in love with him, so we had to bring him home. He spends his days testing all the fences, cleaning the pasture of acorns, and lounging in his wallow.
