The links for previous year’s new arrivals link to my old website, as I didn’t feel like rebuilding all of the old pages.

A note regarding pricing – It’s not random, or set on a whim. We have been working hard to bring in and breed high quality animals, and our prices will follow a formula that reflects that. All bucks will be wethered at 8 weeks old if they are not reserved as bucks by that time.

All wethers will be priced at $150 each, or $250 for a pair.

All does and intact bucks will be priced based on the accomplishments of their dam. With the increase in hay and grain prices, I raised my prices last year, but I try to keep it affordable, so will not be raising it further at this time. I have to be able to afford to keep my goats, so may have to go up again in the future. Pricing is as follows:

Base Price: $400
*M in butterfat and/or protein: +$50
*M in production: +$50
E in mammary: +$50
Champion win: +$50 (max 4)
SG: +$50
LA 90 or above: +$50

Twins – 1 girl, 1 boy

After all of the losses it’s nice to get some more healthy babies. And oh my is the little girl full of herself! This is a repeat breeding, which I love the doe I kept from that and look forward to seeing her freshen soon. It is so tempting to keep this girl too, but I need to keep my numbers down. Kami will be on test this year, and if the older sister to these two freshens the way I think she will, the boy may be available as a buck.

March 30, 2023

Triplets – 2 girls (1 deceased), 1 boy

One of the girls was born with a lot of excess fluid in her belly and lived only a few hours, so I am guessing she had something internally that didn’t develop quite right.

Mistwood LJJ Calico Rose 6M x Rakkasan Ranch APA Cluster B

April 12, 2023

Twins – 2 boys

I’m so bummed that both of these babies are boys. I absolutely would have kept a girl from this cross. They’re healthy though, so at least we have that.

SG GraniteAcres WB Andromeda 2M x Rakkasan Ranch APA Cluster B

April 13, 2023

Single – 1 boy

Drama decided to kid a day before her due date. I got home from work and was going to check on the new babies in the barn, but did a quick scan of the field like I usually do, and noticed a baby standing next to Drama. And of course it’s a boy. Because what else would I get from her?

R17 – GraniteAcres RC ? – buckling – sold

GraniteAcres WB Rowan Blanchrd x Rakkasan Ranch APA Cluster *B

April 15, 2023

Twins – 2 boys

Rowan’s first baby came out with minimal fuss, but the 2nd was tail first, with his back feet folded towards his front. This is a very difficult position for them to deliver, though I have pulled some like that and gotten through it. Unfortunately, it was a good size baby, and Rowan just didn’t have the space. We were finally able to get him pushed back in enough to hook his back legs, and get him coming out feet first, though still backwards. We worked on him, got him up, and made sure he ate, but he ended up passing away. The other baby is doing very well, and getting nice and fat.

R18 – GraniteAcres RA ? – Buckling – SOLD

GraniteArcres RM Lahaina 3M x GraniteAcres CC El Capitan B

April 17, 2023

Twins- 1 girl, 1 boy

Lahaina managed to hold off until she was left alone for a half hour, and delivered these two. Pretty uneventful, which was nice.

R19 – GraniteAcres EC Haleakala – Moonspotted doeling – Retained

R20 – GraniteAcres EC ? *B – Buckling – sold

GraniteAcres RM Mount Denali x GraniteAcres CC El Capitan *B

April 18, 2023

Triplets – 3 boys

Denali was huge, so I knew she was going to have at least triplets, and was hoping not quads. She delivered between when my sister had to leave, and my son got home. The last was the biggest, and his tendons were a bit contracted from lack of space, but with some time and stretching they stretched out, and he is fine

R21 – GraniteAcres RA ? – Buckling – SOLD

R23 – GraniteAcres RA ? – Blue-Eyed & Moonspotted Buckling – SOLD

R22- GraniteAcres RA ? – Buckling – SOLD

GraniteAcres EC Delphinium x Gaelic Roots CW Lucky Strike *B

April 25, 2023

Single – 1 boy

Unfortunately Delphinium only had the one baby, and she waited until day 150, so he got very big. He was badly positioned, and though we realized right away that there was an issue and stepped in to help get him out, the baby inhaled a lot of fluid. I worked on him for several minutes, trying to get the fluid out, and get him to start breathing, but ultimately he didn’t make it.

April 29, 2023

Quads – 1 girl, 3 boys

3 boys, all in bad positions, but all safely out, and healthy. Followed by the lone girl in the bunch, properly positioned, came out perfectly, but a little deformed. Looks like she was a little squished with all the crowding, so her neck developed turned a little to the side, and tweaked up. She’s very healthy otherwise. She’s not able to nurse, so has been bottle fed from the very beginning, has a great appetite, and gets around just fine.
