Grace Bridge GP Phoenix Rising 🦅
72.75% Nigerian Dwarf doe
DOB 4/8/2023

Dam: Grace Bridge DD Ember
Sire: Glendowen Panda

Phoenix is a beautiful little 8 month old doe. She was bottle raised so is super friendly, very affectionate and playful and comes from some fantastic milking goats both dam and sire lines - she should make a great little milking doe for someone, or alternatively a gorgeous friendly pet for a family.

Unfortunately with plans to retain more doe kids this season we’ve got to move some others along which is the only reason this little lady is looking for a new herd.

Registered with DGSA, disbudded (does have one small scur), vaccinated, CAE & JD free herd and myotonia clear by parentage.

Must have a PIC number and other goats - if you don’t have other goats I will consider pairing her with a doeling born this season.

09/04/2024

We have two beautiful little male Nigerian Dwarf kids available to a pet home.

“Snowy” (Tippy Toes Charmed x Glendowen Panda) born 31/3/24

“Nimbus” (Tippy Toes Hermione x Tippy Toes Robin) born 6/3/24

These handsome boys are super friendly, on the bottle, disbudded and will be vaccinated, ear tagged and ready for their new homes at 8 weeks old as wethers (we can also keep til weaned at 12 weeks if bottle feeding doesn’t suit your schedule)

You must have a PIC number to have livestock.

These boys are SO friendly, absolutely love their snuggles and are being very well handled by children. They’re just beautiful little goats - if only we could keep them all 😅

Well she certainly kept me waiting (Day 153 today!), but today our beautiful Tippy Toes Hermione VG85 kidded a pigeon pair, sired by Tippy Toes Robin VG87 (though I may send of some DNA just to be sure Mr Panda didn’t go a knocking - that’s a lot of white 😂)

I was so pleased with Hermione’s 2023 doe kid Grace Bridge TTR Mischief Managed that I wanted to repeat the mating and see if we could get a similar doe kid this year.
I better give her more than a few hours to unfold before I judge her and see if the plan worked 😅

🩷Grace Bridge TTR Whomping Willow
💙Grace Bridge Nimbus (will be sold as a wether)

01/04/2024

Was a little stuck for names for Piper’s sweet little doe kid - our kids are all named in themes depending on their family line and Piper’s theme is heat/fire names.

I also wanted something to do with Easter considering she was born on Easter Sunday - while Phoenix would have been the perfect name for a fire and resurrection theme, we already have a Phoenix 😅

The perfect suggestion from my pal Lisaended up being my winner, so please meet:

Grace Bridge GP Hot Cross Buns aka Bunny 🐰
She already hops around everywhere and lives up to her name 😂🐰🔥

Piper is my BEST milking doe and Bunny’s sire’s dam has gone Champion Nigerian Dwarf twice at the Ekka amongst other large shows, so I am very hopeful about this little lady and stoked to have a Piper x Panda doe to retain! 😁🐐

31/03/2024

Our beautiful Piper (Tippy Toes Charmed VG86) kicked off the 2024 kidding season this morning with a gorgeous pigeon pair for Easter 🩷💙

Sire is our handsome Glendowen Panda.

A beautiful easy delivery for Piper, and both kids up and at em in no time. I love strong, healthy babies and a mama that pulls through labour with flying colours 🥰

The buck kid (the one with more white) will be available as a wether.

Happy Easter everyone!

A beautiful friend of ours is looking to move on her ND does Poppy and Clara - sweet Poppy was the first goat to ever hold the Grace Bridge herd name and she’s a very special girl. Feel free to pop me a message and I can put you in touch with the owners.

“It's time to move on our beautiful Nigerian dwarf goats Poppy and Clara.
Poppy is 37.25% and Clara is 56.25% ND
Poppy is 3 years old and Clara is nearly 18 months old.
Bought from McCarthy Farms 18 months ago if you want to check out her herd to see where they have come from.
Poppy has kidded twice, twins and a single.
Clara has not kidded.

Poppy's milk tastes very similar to cows milk and produces about 1.5l a day when in milk.
Not currently in milk.

I'm very attached to them (Poppy in particular and I have chickened out on this sale a few times) but they are not currently serving a purpose here and they need new land with new paddocks.

Kids friendly, though Poppy can try to show her dominance so you need to show her you're in charge. Don't leave the little ones with her.

Slight discount if the new owner can send me photo updates once in a while 😅
These are not cheap backyard goats so please keep that in mind when messaging for price info.”

18/03/2024

I haven’t posted on here for a while - have been distracted growing another human to add to the herd 😆🤰🏼

Kidding season 2024 is just TEN DAYS away for us!
Because I’m due myself in just another 5 weeks, I decided to spread out kidding this year to lighten my milking load a little while I’m 1) heavily pregnant and 2) have a newborn to tend to.

So we just have our two old-hands Hermione and Piper due at the moment - the rest of the does will be mated after I birth my own child and have a moment to think 😂😅

Tippy Toes Hermione VG85 x Tippy Toes Robin VG87
Due 28/3 (kids will be 50% ND)

Tippy Toes Charmed VG86 x Glendowen Panda
Due 29/3 (kids will be 60.25% ND)

All male kids will be available as wethers to pet homes and we’ll see what we end up with as far as doe kids 🤞🏻

03/12/2023

We currently have 3 beautiful does available.

2 are 2022 born, and have kidded for the first time this year. Not currently in milk as I dried my gang up early this year due to pregnancy (yay for another little goat wrangler joining the crew next year!)
Possibly in kid to our boy Glendowen Panda who’s dam Glendowen Field Mouse has won champion Nigerian at the Ekka twice in a row.

Grace Bridge DD Sabrina (50% ND) - Tippy Toes Hermione VG85 x Minilee Dimebag Darrell

Grace Bridge PocketFullaPosy (56.25% ND) - Grace Bridge Poppy x Tippy Toes Robin VG87

We also have decided to let go of one of our retainer doe kids from this year’s drop.

Grace Bridge TTR Brisingr (50% ND) - Tippy Toes Charmed VG86 x Tippy Toes Robin VG87. Born June 2023

All three does have been bottle fed from birth, are exceptionally friendly and well handled. Sabrina and Posy have both been shown at the DGSA QLD Branch Summer Spectacular show. These does will all make wonderful pets, family members and milkers for your family!

CAE accredited herd, JD free, all up to date with vaccinations, all are disbudded, hooves trimmed and registered with DGSA.

PM us for more details.

Two 2022 Nigerian Dwarf does;

Grace Bridge PocketFullaPosy (52.65% ND)
(Grace Bridge Poppy x Tippy Toes Robin VG87)

Grace Bridge DD Sabrina (50% ND)
(Tippy Toes Hermione VG85 x Minilee Dimebag Darrell)

I adore these girls with all my heart but coming to the realisation they don’t quite fit with what I’m trying to achieve with the direction of my herd.
They both kidded for the first time this year and have milked out easily with no fuss. They would suit pet homes or backyard milkers - both girls are super sweet, easy to handle by kids and adults and have both been in the show ring too.
Currently not in milk.

DGSA registered, and CAE/JD free.

PM for more details.

Ember has decided she has zero interest in being a big, grown up milking doe and has decided to hide under the milking stand until I forget she exists 😂

06/08/2023

One of our retained does for this year - Grace Bridge TTR Mischief Managed.
(Tippy Toes Hermione VG85 x Tippy Toes Robin VG87).

Contrary to her name, Mischief is a sweet little girl who loves her cuddles! She’s a crowd favourite at our regular playgroup sessions on the farm and is always cuddling up in someone’s lap.

Happy so far with how she’s improved on a few traits! Looking forward to seeing her mature over the coming year.

06/08/2023

Baby goat season is the best 🥰

04/08/2023

Just to keep me on my toes after yesterday’s stressful kidding with Posy, our last doe to kid this year decided to go into labour.

Ember very graciously waited until I’d done my morning run around, had a tour at my daughter’s new school, got home and had a cup of coffee, then decided to start pushing. Got her into the stall and she again very graciously pushed out a perfectly presented, very little assistance needed kid.

This one missed out on sire Panda’s blingy white, but I’ll forgive her because she’s a DOE 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Very glad to have a doe kid to retain by Panda - looking forward to seeing this girl mature!

Please meet Grace Bridge GP Phoenix Rising 🔥🦅

03/08/2023

Well we waited all day, and Posy seemed intent on following in her mother’s footsteps and having a long drawn out, complicated labour.

After a big pull with a very stuck kid, we welcomed a super flashy buck kid into the world.

Introducing Cosmo - with the moon full, and fitting in with the “flower” theme of his family line (my favourite flowers are Cosmos!). A bit bummed he’s a buck, but I’m relieved he’s here safe and sound and that mama is doing well.

One more doe left to kid - come on Ember - please be carrying my only Panda doe for the year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

02/08/2023

Our next first time mama is in labour today!

This girl is a special one. While she’s no show stopper, sometimes you just have “those” goats, and Posy is definitely one of them!

Her mama was the first goat we ever had born on the farm - the first goat to carry the Grace Bridge herd name! My eldest daughter loves this goat with all her heart, and I’ve got a pretty soft spot for her too. There’s always something a bit special about watching the goats you’ve bred and raised have babies of their own.

We’re all settled in for the day to welcome Posy’s babies to the world!

28/07/2023

We chose Nigerian Dwarf goats as our chosen breed initially because they were a much more manageable size for our human kids to handle. They are friendly, funny, colourful and delightful pets to have around.

While many people are partial to the Nigerians because of the “cute” factor of a miniature goat - don’t discount them as a dairy breed!

Nigerians have the highest butterfat content in their milk - making it creamy and delicious and wonderful for making cheese, yogurt and ice cream!

Although they are small, these guys can still put the milk in the pail. Pictured here is Piper (bred by Tippy Toes Miniature Goats) - she’s a 4yr old doe on her 4th lactation. Today she gave us 3,165g of milk!

When we first started on our Nigerian Dwarf dairy goat journey, we just wanted some milk for our family. That still holds true - we definitely don’t chase commercial volumes, but our beautiful little goats produce more than enough milk to feed their kids, fill our jug, make some cheese and give the cat a slurp! For anyone wanting to get into producing milk for your family, don’t overlook these little guys as a good fit for your farm.

We certainly are besotted with our little mini milkers 💖🥛🐐

Helpers in the house this morning! Usually they’re on baby goat duty, but every now and then my girls like to try their hand at milking. At 4 and 2, they know more about what goes into producing milk than a lot of adults!

Looking forward to the day I can enjoy a sleep in and sip my coffee while it’s still hot while they milk the goats for me 😂

27/07/2023

June kids are now 6 weeks old! Here’s some terrible quality updated photos 😂 Can’t decide if taking photos is easier with or without the toddler 🤔

27/07/2023

It doesn’t matter what species, when you’re heavily pregnant and just want a cuddle - mama is always there for you to lean on 💖

Sabrina is due this weekend with her first kids, and mama Hermione is supporting her through it 🥰

26/07/2023

Ah, kidding season.
Am I out here in my slippers and a lairy Christmas jumper (in July) checking on my does? Yep!

Do I harass my girls checking their udders and ligaments 7173728 times a day? Definitely!

Do my neighbours think I’m a total nutcase? You betcha!

And do I regret any of it? Not a chance 😂

25/07/2023

If you know, you know 🙃😩😩

24/07/2023

We also have two beautiful wethers searching for a new family - to the best of homes only!! Billy and Bobby are 2022 born - Billy was born here and Bobby is his best mate from another breeder. These boys came back to me earlier this year and now are looking for a new family. They are exceptionally loving and affectionate and love to play! A home with lots of snuggles and playtime is needed. They must stay together!

24/07/2023

Our handsome boy Tippy Toes Robin VG87 is on the lookout for a new herd to call home. He’s produced some beautiful daughters for us and now it’s time for him to meet some new ladies!

3yr old 75% ND. Registered with DGSA. CAE/JD free, disbudded, up to date with vaccinations and very well handled. He is a sweet and loveable boy. Currently paddocked with wethers and another buck without issue.

Please note Robin is a carrier for the myotonic gene.

24/07/2023

Our beautiful yearling doe, Grace Bridge DD Sabrina enjoying one of her final peaceful naps before her first babies arrive later in the week 🥰

20/07/2023

She might not be an official guardian yet, but I certainly sleep a lot easier at night knowing Athena is keeping her eyes and ears open for threats. No foxes getting near these babies, that’s for sure! 🙌🏻🐕🐐

16/07/2023

Happy first birthday to our handsome boy, Glendowen Panda! He shares a birthday with our second daughter, Paeton who is two today.

Usually our goats get a birthday snack and cuddle, but Panda isn’t a fan of us getting close so we’re just going to sing him happy birthday instead 😂

10/07/2023

My goat people... we know the struggle!

04/07/2023

Brilliant video from Kylie at Datadoo Anglo Nubians covering different kid presentations during delivery!
Lots of us in the midst of kidding season at the moment - save this video for easy access! 🐐

No matter how many times I witness it, there’s just something so special about the way a mama goat welcomes her babies into the world.Our beautiful first time mama Grace Bridge DD Sabrina delivered her first kid today! A single buck kid - the first of our kids to hit the ground sired by Glendowen Panda! Such a sweet moment between mama and baby - despite it being her first time, instincts kick in and she cleaned him right up 💖 #nigeriandwarfgoats #miniaturegoats #babygoat

How sweet is this little lady 😍💚 Datadoo Simbah’s Cherokee is seriously the sweetest little angel ever. She loves her snuggles, will leave the herd to come over for scratches and is just such a beautiful natured doeling. While the other kids are a bit more rowdy, Cherokee much prefers to take it easy and though she plays just like any baby goat does, she also has a bit more of a peaceful side and will often hang out with us getting loved on while we watch the others cause mayhem 😂💚 Such a beautiful girl, I can’t wait to see how she grows up 💚
