So….Willow had twin doelings!!!! And when I say twins I mean literal twins. I still have trouble telling these guys apart lol.

For those of you that don’t know, Willow was bred to a BetterWayz buck. His dam is SG BetterWayz Harmony Carabear 3*M. And for those of you who don’t know her….she is the all time breed leader for butterfat, appraised EEEE90 as a 2F, VEEE91 as a 4F and is just a truly amazing and BEAUTIFUL doe! These kids will have incredible udders.

I’m over the moon with these kids and will most definitely be keeping both of them. Sorry😁 They’re naturally level, long rumps, very sharp and very dairy. And they have THE longest legs!! Photos don’t do them justice, so I’ll add a couple videos in the comments. They’ve definitely got that wow factor!!

Also got to give a little shoutout to Willow. Her 2F udder is looking great!! Take a look at that medial improvement. Can’t wait to get a 12hr fill!

Just so blessed to have these beauties in my herd. And so lucky to get two of them! I heard their sire’s been throwing mostly bucks. So here’s a big photo dump of them cause I might be just a little obsessed.😂

Fin kidded with buck/doe twins!!

Sire: Almar Acres Dyami Tyee *B
Dam: Cascade Valley HB Infinite Dsn

Fin is a ff and has a very well attached udder and promising capacity. She comes from very milky lines!

02/01/2023

I never got around to introducing my two new does from CA. We’ll start with Willow.

Cascade Valley HB Willow Oak 6*M�
Lot to say about this doe! Very milky pedigree! Her grand sire is none other than the famous Alejandro and she’s got elite on both sides. Willow earned her milk star last year as a ff. She is very dairy with very correct structure. I plan to bring this girl to a couple shows! And look at that ff udder!

Her dam is a gorgeous Springwater doe with loads of capacity and a gorgeous udder! She has 2gch legs and has been on the elite list multiple times. 99th percentile as a ff! She recently scored EEEE90 @ 3yrs.

Sire’s dam is a milking powerhouse! Also 99th percentile as a ff and the next three years after that. She passes on this outstanding quality too, with 3 of her 6 daughters on the elite list.

Willow is bred to a BetterWays buck, BetterWayz Hullabaloo Bear for April kids.
Baloo’s dam is none other than SG Better Wayz Harmony Carabear 3*M!! All time record holder for butterfat!! VEEE91 with a pedigree full of 90s and 91s! Still waiting for an ultrasound confirmation, but she hasn’t been back in heat!

Sire: Joie de Vivre CT Hullabaloo *B
SS: Urban Acres CRF-BH Comet *B
SD: SG Up at the O.W. DR Jubilee 1*M (elite) +EVV86, 99th percentile

Dam: SG Springwater AL Aspen 5*M (elite)
EEEE90
DS: SG Sugar Moon NS Alejandro +*B
DD: SG Springwater SMKY Chocolate Pie 4*M, VEE+88

Mocha’s due date and no kids…she’s decided to play the wait game.😫 But I got a kidding cam set up!
Here are some photos of Wini’s kids while we wait. They are so big already!! Well they were big to begin with lol. They learnt how to get up on the bucket (Mocha’s favorite spot) and now bother her nonstop….she’s surprisingly very patient with them.
Also Maggie’s little girl, who is quite the handful.

01/02/2023

Happy New Year!!
Looking forward to a new year that’s gonna be better than the last! New goats, show season, kidding season, LA….can’t wait!!

I’m going to take this opportunity to highlight my first planned breeding! Due in 15 days!!

SDS Farm ZQ Hestia’s Helios *B x Cougar Meadows Dancing N’ Dark

So so exited for this breeding! Simba hasn’t been to anxious to breed his does, so Mocha is one of the few that he did end up breeding. Lil guy’s still learning lol.

I can’t wait to see Mocha’s 2nd freshening udder. She’s matured a bit. Even though she didn’t stay in milk for too long, I was pleased with her ff udder. Let’s all appreciate her drastic udder change! It went from a saggy bowling ball with tiny teats to (4 months later) nice plump teats with a well defined medial and firm attachments. She dam raised her two bucklings last year, so I’m exited to see what she can do on the stand!!

Hoping to improve overall strength and structure, add length, levelness, depth and smoother blending.
Fingers crossed for some show kids! Mocha’s sire has 1GCH leg and 5 reserve grand champion wins. Simba comes from a long line of showstoppers.
And this pairing should bring the milk! Mocha’s dam has her *M and Simba’s full sister just ranked 98th percentile! Top 2% of Nigerians in ADGA production eval. As a yearling ff!!
Their dam Hestia ranked 97th.

Simba’s dam Hestia is littermate sister to the AGS 2020 National Champion The Herra. She earned her 7*M, SG, an LA score of VVEE90 and Elite status all at the age of two!! She has been on the Elite list several times, including 2021. Photo in comments.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!

Wini blessed us with buck/doe twins on Christmas Day. They are both very large and healthy. And Wini is such a good experienced mom. The buckling looks almost exactly like our newest herdsire Simba, so I’m guessing they’re his. The buckling at least. Dna test will tell for sure. As usual the buck gets all the flash lol. Doeling is a cute buckskin…with blue eyes tho. I’ll include a pic of her in the comments.

Losing baby goats can be so hard.😔As you know we had three does due from a buck escape in the summer. Well of course they pick the coldest week to kid. Two are first fresheners as well.

First to kid was Ellie with two tiny blue eyed doe kids. I came out 30min too late and found one kid already dead. Bjorn our lgd found the other. I probably wouldn’t have found her in time. She was completely wet, super cold and listless. Bjorn, being the amazing good boy that he is, starting licking her and I rushed her to the house. Right to the tub…we got her warmed up and fed. She was doing great for a couple days, but started fading one morning and we lost her.

Maggie kidded next. 30min before I got there…AGAIN! She had two big buck/doe twins, but failed to clean the sack off the bucklings face, so he was dead when I arrived. The doeling was dry and perky. I made sure she nursed and she was good to go! Checked on her multiple times during the day….then had to go somewhere that evening. When I got back I immediately went out to the barn and my heart sank. She was lying stretched out in the middle of the stall, half covered in straw. Then I noticed very shallow breathing. When I picked her up, she was completely stiff and gasping faintly. I thought for sure she would die before I got her to the house. But she kept on fighting. She was in the tub for quite a while before she started moving. She was still super weak and couldn’t even keep her head up. But we were able to get some colostrum in her. She was teetering on the edge for the next few hrs. Then around 11pm when I was trying to get her to drink a little more, she suddenly latched on and sucked the bottle dry. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Now on to Wini. She hasn’t kidded yet, but she is massive! I’m expecting quads…triplets at least. With these freezing temperatures it’s hard for little kids to survive. So we’ve stooped to a new low.😂😂We build a little area in our house late last night and Wini is living the high life as a house goat. Multiples are usually small and I can’t take any more kids dying. It is SO cold outside the heat lamps don’t even feel warm. And our barn isn’t insulated at all.

The doeling is doing great today. She needs a name. Her mom’s registered name is The Monet’s Magpie (pending) so I might go with that theme. I’m feeling optimistic tho. She’s very big….and loud lol. No kids for Wini yet, so she’ll be hanging out in our fenced in yard during the day and inside at night until she kids.

I’ve made up my mind to have a baby monitor system set up before the planned breedings start. I’m kicking myself for not getting one set up earlier. Lesson learnt.

So that’s how my holiday’s going so far.😅Hopefully Wini’s kidding goes well. And I hope everyone is staying warm…goats included!!

Next up on the list of new does would be Gavella Miranda.

Moochie is the 2020 daughter of Wini. I really love her sire’s dam. Take a look at her udder! It’s gorgeous! She received an incredible score of 48 for rear udder arch! Check out some of the other numbers on this doe's udder scores! Wini’s udder isn’t too shabby either. Mooch will be a ff this year and I am beyond exited to see her udder come in.

So I haven’t posted anything in a while and have lots of exiting news! We’ve added four new does to the herd!! So exited to introduce them!! Lots of babies coming soon…within the month I’d expect. The bucks broke out in the summer and three does are pregnant. Two will be ffs and then there’s Wini, who did the same thing last year. She wasn’t with us at the time, but still…😩

First up on introductions would be Kyeema Ridge Mimosa!!

I’m really exited about this lovely doe! Lots of awesome LA scores in her pedigree. Her dam, an Old Mountain Farm doe, appraised VEVE88 at 2yrs. Her sire appraised EEE91 at 3yrs. And her sire’s dam has a permanent score of EEEE92.

Sire has two GCH legs and multiple RCH wins. Sire’s dam has her two GCH legs and placed within the top ten at the 2014 Nationals.

Overall Mimi is a very well put together doe. She is very long, elegant and big. And she has that Old Mountain Farm ”look” to her. I have big plans for her, and super exited to see what she will do here!!

Ps: These are kids photos, she’s a big girl now

Happy National Dog Day!!
Thought I’d give a little appreciation to our coyote-scaring, big lovable puppy of a guard dog. He’s great at his job and (I think) the best one we’ve had so far. He loves his hoomans and is so amazing with all our critters. He just has the best personality!! So thanks Bjorn, for everything!😘♥️

08/24/2022

Here’s the highlight of our day!! 100 bales of fresh leafy orchard mix. Just baled yesterday. We got an amazing deal on it and I have no idea how we fit it all on our trailer.😝Getting ready for the upcoming winter! Gotta stock those hay barns.

08/20/2022

Yay! Just got back from the Kootenai County fair.
Q (Cougar Meadows WinifredQuin) brought home a 1st over some really nice does, Cindy a 4th and 2nd Junior Get of Sire. The judge complimented Q’s general appearance, tightness of elbow and really loved her front assembly. Met some new people and made some new friends…it was so much fun! I love our small little shows up here. So relaxing.🤩💕

08/15/2022

And they’re off!!🐎😂
Not sure who finished first tho.

08/15/2022

All these goats and I don’t think I ever introduced myself! Let’s fix that.😃

Hi!
I’m Bridget, the face behind Erindale Nigerian Dwarf Goats.

Yes, I’m young lol. My goating adventure began about 4 years ago when we brought home three Mini Nubian wethers. Skittish wild unfriendly things…but hey, it was a start.

I then decided I wanted one of those colorful mini goats…with blue eyes. I didn’t know the difference between a Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf at the time, but eventually found out that the goat I wanted was the Nigerian Dwarf. Lol, I’ve come a REALLY long way. So around a year later we brought home our very first…Phoebe!

The next couple months were a blur…I found out there was a registry for them and then decided I wanted registered ones. After purchasing my first registered doeling off of Craigslist I found an amazing breeder, mentor and future friend JoshandKayko Montgomery!!

Beginning of 2021 I brought home a better quality doeling. I fell hard into the registered world and absorbed all the info I could find as fast as I could. There were shows, this really helpful program called Linear Appraisal, DHIR…and much much more!

And look at me now! Going to shows, first LA under my belt….some really nice goats in my herd. I would chose genetics and conformation over color any day!

I’m still learning new things and little by little improving my herd. I’m so grateful to everyone that has helped my on my journey!!

And there you go, that’s my story!

PS: I gave this little stinker a bath and clip literally yesterday and his face is already dirty again. Bucks!🤪 But he wanted to nap on my lap and he’s just so cute…so I let him.

08/09/2022

Remember this sweet little buckling? Well he is now in full rut! Complete with blubbering and sticky p*e face.😂 He’s still the sweetest thing, but needs a major spa day before I can give him scritches again. I’m exited to get him some does this fall!!

The boys say hi!♥️
Doesn’t Shooter have the most magnificent beard?! They’re getting all cleaned up for a date with the appraiser. Yay!! We’re so glad to be getting a Linear Appraisal this year. 2 wks to go!!

These two are the only doelings we added this year. Meet Q and Cinnabon. Cinnabon has not been introduced yet, so this will be her formal introduction.
But first…how cute are these two?! Since Q can no longer hang out with the bucklings, Cinnabon is the only one around her age. They are inseparable and get into so much trouble together. But who doesn’t love those sweet faces.

Alright, on to Cinnabon.
I had the most incredible luck to stumble upon her breeder. She has a small but gorgeous herd, with genetics from around the country and is an absolutely lovely lady. She quickly became a good friend. Her herdsire also happens to be SG Heaven’s Hollow Winter Soldier +B. Yes, the sire of AGS 2020 National Champion and Best Udder in Show…ARMCH SG The Herra 7*M (Elite), and SG The Hestia 7*M, VVEE90 and Elite @ 2yrs. Both have multiple Grand Champion, BOB and BIS wins. AND he is the son of the one and only Wyojem Wendy Kiki!

SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki *M, has many outstanding accomplishments including:
-2012 National Reserve Best Udder
-2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf
-2014 Lactation: In 295 days - 1,470 pounds of milk, 90 lbs of fat, and 67 lbs of protein making her a Top Ten Breed Leader for Milk, Fat AND Protein!
-LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old!
As well as outstanding conformation, Wendy has a solid udder, high and wide, with a strong MSL, and good teat placement. She has excellent udder texture and capacity with a prominent fore udder extension. This girl brings it all!!

Winter Soldier’s daughters have consistent high scores in Linear Appraisal as well as in production and the show ring. In addition to his own Superior Genetics designation, four of his daughters have earned their Superior Genetics designations. I LOVE this buck!

Now Cinnabon’s dam is a gorgeous heavy milker from Wee3Farm lines. Lovely long and capacious lady with a beautiful udder! This is an awesome pairing!

Cinnabon is so broad. She’s the widest little goat! Can you believe Q is 2 and 1/2 months older than her? Look at that width! And Q is pretty wide little lady as well. But you wouldn’t notice it when you see her, she has the length to match…very proportionate. I am so exited to see what she will do. I know she will live up to my expectations!! She has big shoes to fill.

And my rant is now over. Surprised you stayed through it. 😂

Goats grazing in a pasture are always so serene and peaceful looking.🥰They’re so happy with all the greenery.

Ok I knew we were having a buck year but come on!! Thelma delivered triplet bucks tonight!😭😭😭 They are absolutely adorable of course, one even has a little heart on his back. Thelma did great and is such an amazing mom.

And I just have to share these adorable photos! Simba is very partial to Q (WinifredQuin). He is top dog in the kid pen and will promptly shove all other kids out of ”his” spot…all except Q. She can get away with anything. I guess that makes her queen of the kid pen. It’s just the sweetest thing.🥹🥰 Too bad I’m gonna have to separate them soon.

04/21/2022

Brought the camera out of hibernation.😁 Haven’t used it all winter. The kids were happy to cooperate…mostly. Here are a few of the good pics.

Big welcome to our new junior herdsire!!
SDF ZQ Hestia’s Helios *B

This guy is from some really nice lines: Old Mountain Farm, Agape’s Prize, Wee3Farms…his pedigree is packed with finished champions, milk stars, SG, elite, great LA scores…I could go on and on. AND, on top of all that, those moonspots!!😍😍

His dam Hestia is littermate sister to AGS 2020 National Champion The Herra. She earned her SG, an LA score of VVEE90 and Elite status all at the age of two!! She has been on the Elite list several times, including 2021. Hestia unfortunately passed away due to kidding complications.
Simba is such a gorgeous boy, and so incredibly sweet! I don’t want him to turn into a big stinky buck!! And so big for his age! I’ll post comparison photos in the comments.
Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth, family and home, so I thought Helios would be a fitting name for her son. Helios is the first Greek sun god/titan, which is perfect for such a big golden buck!

Mocha’s bucklings. I’m in love with the gold one! He’s a light caramel color with white and a dark stripe down his back. So cute!!

04/01/2022

Happy April Fools! Mocha kidded buck twins.😭😭 Cute lil stinkers, but I was hoping for at least one doe. The other one is solid black with a white poll. Overall pleased with Mocha’s ff udder. Nice capacity! More pics to follow.

How cute is this little lady?!! 😍😍
This is our new doeling Cougar Meadows FD WinifredQuin. We’re trying to find the perfect barn name for her. The obvious choice would be Wini, but we already have a Wini here. Any suggestions?

Please welcome our newest addition: Cougar Meadows FD WinifredQuin. This sweet girl has an amazing pedigree, the sweetest temperament and the prettiest eyes!

Sometimes unexpected events or complications arise. Life happens. Here at Erindale Farm we are always happy to take a goat back, for whatever reason…health issues, moving, etc… We will always provide a safe place for these goats to land.

This is Mia, an absolutely beautiful young doe that went to her new home last year. Unfortunately Mia’s elderly companion goat passed away and her family is moving. Mia’s heartbroken owner wanted to make sure she would go to a loving home where she would be safe. Well, welcome home Mia.🥰

Bouncing Baby Goats

What is it with baby goats and wooden floors?!!🤣🤣 Do they like the firm surface for more bounce or hearing the sound of their tiny hooves on it?

So turns out Wini, one of our new does, is pregnant!! We did an ultrasound and she was confirmed with at least two kids and past 75 days. As most accidental breedings go, the sire remains unknown....but we have our suspects. When the kids are born we will DNA to be sure. I'm exited for them and can't wait!! Wild In Wild SK Winiata
