Well, kidding season is over. The curse of Thunder is still alive and kicking, please welcome Sliceofalmostheaven DC. He is an F1 mini Oberhasli, and he is for sale.

That makes our grand total six does and three bucks. All the does are full-size, and all the bucks are minis.

Best picture that I have of my F1 Polled Mini Oberhasli. He is still in his “winter clothes”. Kingwood WV, PM me if interested. Clean, tested, closed herd.

I had to literally drag him out, his mom was not having strong contractions. Of course it is a buckling….thanks Thunder.

Please welcome Sliceofalmostheaven Spark, coming in at 6.4lbs. He is a F1 Mini Oberhasli, appears to be polled and is for sale. 

03/30/2024

Well the bane of Thunder is alive and well! He has only given me 1 doe and with the kid today he has given me 6 bucks. The one thing I cannot complain about is they’re always the correct color. And more times than not they’re polled

Please welcome Sliceofalmostheaven Zap, all 6.8lbs of him. He is an F1 Mini Oberhasli and is for sale.

I’m really liking this boy. He just turned 8 months old so he is in the “gangly” stage. He is hanging at 100lbs now.
