Jahanda Miniature Goats

04/04/2025

Our waiting list is open for our 2025 kidding season.

Rippa has his eye on a new family, he is a great buck and can be packaged with a couple of does.
We have kept a lot of his offspring, we would love for him to find a new herd as he still has a lot of go in him, he definitely thinks so.

The does will be kept in with the bucks for a bit longer then we will separate them all.

Hopefully kids in august yay 😊 so watch out for our updates and countdowns until kidding.

Breeding season is under way here at Jahanda, we will have kids hopefully towards the end of August,
We are excited for this years cute season.

The smell of musky bucks is quite potent this year, the noises, and facial expressions do make us laugh, i do not pet the boys at this time of year as they like to make themselves smelly by weeing on their faces/beards. The smellier the better to attract the does.

Rippa is still looking for his forever home, happy to deliver.
We will also have some adult does available aswell possibly with kids at foot.

Please enquire if you would like to go on our waitlist or would like to talk about possibly welcoming a Aus mini goat into your family.

Yesterday I with help from Nathan and Jack moved the does into the paddocks with their respective bucks, I usually do one on one breeding but I can’t do that this year so we decided that the does will stay in with their respective buck for the rest of march and April, I’ll be on the look out for signs of the does being bred so I can write dates down. Everyone does their breeding in different styles and because of the circumstances I’m doing it this way, we may have a few due at the same time but definitely nothing we can’t handle.

Looking forward to our kidding season later in the year, we will have kids and adult does available.

Rippa still needs to find his new forever home so if you or someone you know is after and herdbook Aus mini buck please get in contacts

The weather is wet, thundering and lightning the goats are all hiding in their sheds and I can’t say I blame them. Hopefully this week I can organise the bucks to go in with their group of does, we aren’t breeding all our herd but we will hopefully have kids later this year, if you’re interested please message me.

We said goodbye to two members of our herd yesterday, they have been with us nearly from the beginning. But with keeping doelings from previous years we have had to sell some of our adults, one of the hard things about breeding is having to make these decisions. But we are always trying to improve our herd, and I believe these two will make their new owner very happy, and produce some lovely kids like they did for us. We will be staring our breeding season soon, please contact me if you would like to go on the waitlist. Thanks ☺️

We have had a few cold days here (by my standard haha) some of our goats are starting to get their cashmere, which I love as some of them change colour.
We are planning our breeding and working out what does we will breed and who they will be bred with, who we won’t be breeding and who will be sold. Hard decisions but we have retained some Does from the last two kidding seasons and we are liking how they are turning out. We can’t keep them all unfortunately.

We do have Rippa available and some adult does who can go as a starter herd or separately.

I took some photos of some of the herd the other day and as you can tell some didn’t want to cooperate haha.

We have had some beautiful weather these past couple days,
We are gearing up for our breeding season, though it may be a little later then last year but I’m not sure as yet.
Deciding on who to breed and who they are going to be bred with, to hopefully get more improvements in my herd. I have been lucky enough to be able to buy great lines and genetics to start with, but we would like the doelings to be born to be an improvement on the dam. I’m looking forward to this year as we have two up and coming bucks and I look forward to seeing what they produce with our maiden does.

Rippa is still available at a reduced price, delivery available, we also have a few does we could put with him to start your own herd.

We need to reduce our numbers as we have retained does from the last 2 breeding seasons.

Next up is trimming hair for upcoming shows and preparing for that.

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Goodness the year has gone so quickly so it seems we have had ups, downs and at time I felt like there were more downs then ups, but that’s life and we have come out the other side. I’m looking forward to the new year and all that comes with it.

So many changes happening, Jack turns 5 in a couple of days (don’t know where that times gone), Hanna goes off to college and it will be different not having her here all the time. We will have more shows which will be fun, Goat Fest and hopefully more kids when our season starts.

Thankyou to all that have helped, given me advice when I needed it.
A big Thankyou to the ones that bought goats from us and I hope they are settling into their new homes.
Thankyou to Nathan, Hanna, Dakoda and Tyson for helping me with my crazy goat dream
