We are a small family starting out hoping to breed beautiful mini goats. Small hooves but big hearts
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 ☺️
If you are wanting to know more about miniature goats or are interested in welcoming some cuteness into your family please contact me ☺️
Hi everyone
Here are some pictures I’ve taken the last few days (before the rain came)
We have 38 days until our kidding season officially starts.
I’m in the process of doing up our website, slow going as I’m new to all that stuff.
If you are looking at adding a couple new loveable members to your family please message on here.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. ☺️
Here are some photos of our does, we brought home a round bale last week and they were very excited, they have slept on it, around it, and I’m pretty sure in it with what they have pulled down 😂😂😂 we put some straw into their houses to keep warm, and if you look closely you’ll see some big belly’s, 🥰
If you would like to go on our waitlist for kids please message me ☺️ I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
We have roughly 51 days left until our kidding season starts.
This year we are looking are improving our herd and hopefully we get some doelings that are what we are looking for.
Just a quick check in to say we will have some new picture soon of our herd, I’m currently in hospital after an operation, so once I’m home and I’m able I will post some pregnant doe pics ☺️
Hi everyone, here are some photos of some of our beautiful herd, all of them are getting their winter cashmere, some more than others. Simba was fluffing himself up when the does were walking past, I had to let him know that it isn’t his time yet to breed 😂
I didn’t get a chance to take photos of last years does. You can spot them in some pictures but it’s not easy to take nice ones when they are on a mission for the grass or bush they want to eat.
Our older does are looking great and we will be having kids on the ground in August/September.
If you would like to go on our waiting list please message me ☺️
We have been letting the does and doeling’s out to roam our paddock and they love it, as they get to browse and explore, we have now introduced the doeling’s into the adult does paddock and they are slowly working out herd dynamics. They are all growing their winter fluff, so some are changing colours, I think it’s pretty cool.
Happy Mother’s Day, from us here at Jahanda

We are pleased to announce that we are negative for CAE and Johnes Disease for 2024,
Looking forward to counting the days down for our kidding this year and to see what our new buck Zazu brings to our herd.
Below is Simba our buckling we retained to grow out to hopefully be our next up and coming sire.
Hi I have been slack posting lately 😱 we hopefully will have new kids on the ground Aug/sept so if you would like to go on our waitlist feel free to message me ☺️
Today Nathan and I are in Melbourne for Rites of Passage Tattoo Festival and I was tattooed by the lovely Casey Jones Fine Art/Tattoos, it was a long day starting just after 10am and finishing at 5 something.
You all could probably guess what I chose to get 🥰 Thankyou so much Casey
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Introducing Gippsland Miniature Goats Zazu, our newest Australian Miniature buck, he is 3 this year ☺️he will hopefully bring in some new genetics to our herd, we are very excited to see what he and some of our does produce.
Rippa and Zazu have been a bit riled up as has been the rut season and the does are coming in and out of heat, so testosterone has been building and their musky smell has be strong.
Ernie was happy to have a new friend as you can see from the picture 😂😂Thankyou Petit Paradis Mini Goats for him.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter,
We had a great time at the Stonehaven double show, Saturday and Sunday showing our goats. It was great to be able to sit and catch up with other goat breeder’s last night. Thankyou to Petit Paradis Mini Goats for hosting us all and everyone that was involved.
Our doelings went well,
Saturday’s results were:
1st Cedar
2nd Bree
3rd Maple
Sunday results were:
1st Bree
2nd Cedar
3rd Maple
So proud of our little does they have all come 1st now which is great,
We are finished showing now until the show season starts later in the year, we will continue to work with our kids and hopefully they will be ready for the next age group, I’m looking forward to seeing how they all grow.
There were some fantastic animals this weekend and their breeders should be proud.
Thankyou to Hanna for being there and helping out, it is great to spend time with you doing something we enjoy.
Looking forward to this weekend, as Hanna and I will be going to Stonehaven’s double show, ☺️ hopefully I will have some nice photos on Sunday ☺️🐐🐐
I forgot to post last night, I was looking out my window at the does and there was a stunning sunset, thought you all would enjoy it.
I realised I hadn’t updated our page since Hamilton Show on Saturday.
Hanna and I had a great day at our first show, I’ve been to them before as a helper but Saturday was our first time showing.
We took Maple, Cedar and Bree our 4 month old doelings, we will continue to work on them as they found it a bit daunting, probably as much as we did 😂
We watched all the other exhibitors and their wonderful goats. 🐐 everyone did a great job.
Maple 1st
Cedar 2nd
Bree 3rd
Maple was a star strutting her stuff, Cedar decided she didn’t like being there by I think with work she will be great, Bree just calmly took everything in her stride like she does usually.
Maple was in the reserve and champions heat but didn’t place but I’m very proud of her, she has some growing to do her competition were older and such beautiful does.
We also entered breeders pair and came 3rd.
Thankyou to Kirralee for taking bree for us. And for everyone’s advice and help.
And a big Thankyou to Hanna for her help and company x
We look forward to Stonehaven show in two weeks.
We are at the Hamilton Show to show our doelings.
We are getting a little excited for Hamilton Show this weekend, we didn’t make it to All breeds as Jack had to have surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids out, he is recovering well, still a bit sore but getting better everyday.
Will hopefully get some photos of our herd soon
Goodness I haven’t posted for a little while, here are some photos of Cedar, Maple, Sierra and Bree our doelings, we are really loving watching them grow and we will be at Deloraine All breeds on the 18th Feb for our first ever show. It’s exciting and nerve wracking at the same time 🤣 Bree is our recent addition to our herd from Kirrasumm Kidz Miniature Goat Stud (Thankyou so much ☺️)
We had a great time at GoatFest Tasmania today, it was a beautiful day weather wise, spoke to so many lovely people about our lovely kids we had there. I didn’t get a chance to take many photos today, but my helper Dakoda Lovell did take a couple, Simba had his own pen, Cedar, Maple and Sierra had theirs but they all worked out that they could push underneath the middle panel, so in the end they swapped and changed. Everyone liked the goat tshirts etc I made for the day.
Simba even gave smooches to a little girl today which was quiet cute. Great to be there with other AGB Inc. members.
Thankyou Dakoda for your help today ☺️
Come along and say Hi if you come to GoatFest Tasmania ☺️🐐🐐🐐☺️
Well it turns out that Rippa and Ernie are better gardeners than myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣 3 pumpkin plants growing near their hay feeder, not sure how long they will last, I’m hoping to be able to transplant to another area.
Hi all,
I have been a bit slack in posting recently,
I have been busy preparing for GoatFest Tasmania which is on next Sunday at Longford so I hope to see you there, it’s a great family day out.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from us here at Jahanda, Thankyou all for following us on our journey, it has been a big year we had 19 kids born, 2 were born still, 1 we lost after a few weeks of trying our hardest to keep him well. I witnessed all but 1 kidding, each one was different and I had to help a few out but that’s part of it. We have had happiness excitement, tears and sadness, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Hanna was my helper and calming force with every kidding, late nights and early mornings. The best experience was have all my kids Dakoda, Hanna and Jack witness kidding’s, new life coming into the world is amazing. A big thankyou to my biggest supporter Nathan for all the fencing, building, and putting up with the crazy that comes with owning mini goats 😊
We have delivered goats to their new owners to the south and the north, where I hope they have a wonderful life. I even scored a bee sting to the eyelid, not the loveliest feeling 🤣🤣 but I’m sure lucky and Luna are loving their new home.
Next year will hopefully be as successful as this one. A big Thankyou to all of you that helped and supported us.

Just a bit of fun 😊
Jack helped feed Athena, Ernie and Dixie, he loves helping, and giving the ‘Doats some treats’
Watering the grass with a difference
