Jahanda Miniature Goats

We are a small family starting out hoping to breed beautiful mini goats. Small hooves but big hearts

09/11/2024

We have started our show season last weekend at Campbell Town (Hobart show) Maple, Bree and Cedar didn’t place but we got some wonderful feedback from Lee who travelled from the mainland to judge. I didn’t get a chance to take any photos either 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Tomorrow we are at Brighton Show so if your out and about come and see the Miniature Goats.
I’ll hopefully get some photos tomorrow.

We will also be at the Highlands Bushfest again this year looking forward to that.

Well this season has certainly been a weird one, with heat cycles breeding, feed shortages (hay), doing things differently then usual, but we have made it work ☺️ I was hoping to have an update on new kids but unfortunately Bindi and Shona didn’t kid, although we witnessed the initial breeding and they didn’t come into heat again we thought they were bred. But I’m guessing with the year we have had their bodies absorbed the embryos. Unfortunate but sometimes these things happen.

We are crossing our fingers for the upcoming year for the chance to stock up on hay, which I’m sure most of us are that have goats.

We do have some adults that will be available soon. So please message if you are interested.

We let the goats out and Coal decided that this old pot was a great place to sit 🤣

Hi all sorry I haven’t posted in a while.

This years kids are growing and full of beans,

We have our last two does to kid in the next week or so, and our kidding season will be over.

Then our show season starts, it will be good to catch up with other breeders.

We do have some goats available if anyone would like to enquire please message me ☺️

Her are some pictures of our kids born this year and also zazu 🤣

Unfortunately the time has come that we need to look at moving this gorgeous buck on.

Zena had her first kidding a few days ago, and I forgot to post 🤦🏼‍♀️
After a longish and hard labour she had the cutest little doeling, who has been named Pickle, Hanna has been adamant about naming one pickle this year 🤣🤣🤣 it is kind of fitting since she was a little pickle to get out.

Zena has been excelling in being a mum.

Matilda had two beautiful boys on Thursday afternoon, a beautiful speckled tri coloured boy and a red boy, due to being born a lot weaker and Matilda not really interested in the speckled boy and kicking him away we are bottle feeding him, he is doing well.
The little red boy is doing well on Matilda which is great. (These two have already found a home ☺️)

On this post I’ll also post our other boys (wethers) who are available once weaned.

Zena is next on the list in a couple days it’s her first time so excited to see what she has.

Hi all thought I’d do an update, ☺️

On Sunday Issy surprised us by going into labour just before we did our nightly chore of feeding all the goats, I had been checking her through out the day the noticed her have a few contractions, it happened all very quickly and Nathan got her in the stall, with a slight helping hand from me she had a beautiful big buckling, he is a gorgeous mix of his mum and dad in colour.

Next up was Coco I was diligently watching her as last year she did not like being in the stall and had one kid in the paddock the other in the stall, so I was hoping last year didn’t repeat itself……..well it did 🤣 I had been out to feed them all and check her no signs, no contractions nothing to indicate anything, I happened to think to myself I should look out the window and there she was in the paddock pushing 🤦🏼‍♀️ she definitely needed assistance due to the fact her kids head was down instead of presenting with two hooves, nose and mouth, with Hanna’s help and guidance from Krystal, we got him out and he is a big solid buckling.

All are doing well and mums are being treated to lots of yummy lucerne chaff and pellets,

Our next two does are due 8th and 12th of September so I get a bit of a break.

Please message if you would like to go on our list for kids ☺️

(First lot of photos are of Issy’s buckling, second lot are Coco’s buckling)

Monday night I checked on Lucy every 2 hours as she was showing signs of being in labour and I wanted to make sure that they warm and I was there when her kids made an appearance, well I’m pretty sure Miss Lucy gave me the stink eye a few times, it was freezing in the early hours checking her, I woke at 6.30am to go check on her and as I got to the gate I heard the sweetest little Maas, when I got to the stall she had two chunky kids on the ground basically dried. I missed it but I was so excited that they were already up. She had a Doeling and Buckling. She is an amazing dam to her kids.

Tuesday night I did the same but this time it was Dixie’s turn, every two hours and nothing so the next morning she was acting a little weird, I was hoping that she would either kid before I had to head to town or when I got back, i took Jack to his nans (next door) and I had a feeling I should check on her before I left, luckily I did because she was pushing, fluid bubble burst, then the kid bubble appeared, I saw two hooves and then I could see a mouth, the head was back a bit (right position but a bit further up the legs), I realised I’d have to assist slightly, she stood up and I was able to help her deliver a nice big healthy buckling. Within 10 mins she had him clean and he was up feeding.

It’s so amazing watching them tend to their kids.

Our bottle fed kid Kaia is doing well we took her down today to play with the kids she investigated them all.

I have a bit of a break and then we have Coco and Issy next week.

The one thing about breeding miniature goats is there are so many joyous moments that make you laugh, smile and feel happy. Whether it be watching goats play on tyres you have in the paddock, watching friendships between goats, having snuggles with them, bonding with them and their quirky personalities. All of these happy moments can make the sad ones feel unbearable, especially the ones where you have no answer, I guess that goes for anything in life.

Late yesterday i found Kahlua laying flat in the stall, from 5.30pm until late we tried everything to get her going, We took her to Libby at Vet in the Valley and despite Libby’s efforts Kahlua didn’t respond to any of the medications, we believe she had a neurological issue, accidentally laid on or something else, I made the hard decision to have her put down.
12.30 I checked Lizzy and Kenai and they were fine he was feeding then they settled down, I went to check them and Lucy and Dixie at 2.30am he was maaing I found him laying floppy and brought him inside to warm him and see if I could get him to come right, ringing Libby at 6.30am we came up with a plan but unfortunately after what I believe was a seizure (cause undetermined) he passed away in my arms at 9.35am.

They may not of been alive for very long but I loved them dearly, I know it’s part of owing animals but it doesn’t make it easier,

We are bottle feeding Kaia as she didn’t feed properly from the beginning as Lizzy didn’t produce enough milk. So if there is a bright spot it’s Kaia and her sparkly attitude.

Top photo Kenai, Kahlua and Kaia.

Thankyou to Hanna, Libby, Krystal Jones, Kirralee Hoffman for you support and answering all my questions and messages.

After checking overnight, I checked Lizzy at around 9.30am, she was starting to do slight pushes,
By 10:50 she had her first Doeling she is a tiny ball of cuteness, next she had her big buckling and last but not least she had her second tiny doeling. They are all so very cute. Lizzy was bred with our new buck Zazu, these are his first progeny, can’t wait for Lucy and Dixie.
Thankyou to Hanna for her keeping me company and helping Lizzy dry them off. Jack loved having cuddles.

Lizzy, Lucy and Dixie are in the kidding paddock,

Exciting times ahead, Lucy has had some discharge, Lizzy has no ligaments from what she let me feel, they haven’t bagged up in their udder as yet but I’ll be keeping a close eye on them. Dixie is looking uncomfortable too though I haven’t checked her ligaments yet.

I can’t wait to see what they have 🥰

Jack has helped get the straw in the stalls and Hanna got them in here with help from some treats 🤣

13/08/2024

9 days to go until Lizzy, Lucy and Dixie are due to kid, i feel like it has gone fast, exciting to see what the does have, will they go on their date or before?
I tried to get some photos yesterday and today but no one would like to stand still enough for me, I think they know it’s that time of year where I go around checking back ends and trying to feel ligaments 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lucy and Lizzy have been laying about a bit but they are walking barrels at the moment so I understand why. Dixie is looking wonderful and the excitement is setting in.

07/08/2024

Goodness time goes fast, we have 15 days until our kidding starts, though I have a feeling looking at the 3 that are due to kid first may go before the 22nd, I’ll hopefully get more photos tomorrow. Too cold today and the goats were too busy eating haha.

Keep an eye on our page for more updates and new kids arriving, please message if you are interested in gaining some new family members, or if you have any questions about what it takes to own one 😊

Sorry for not posting recently life gets a little busy at times. We have been getting organised for our kidding season that starts in 22 days (or there abouts 🧐)
We have cleaned out kidding stalls, I’m preparing my kidding kit.
We have 3 due on the same day but will they go all at the same time or separate time will tell I guess haha.
I’ll put a couple photos of the does that are due first. They are Lucy, Lizzy and Dixie ☺️
