***Our herd is disease-tested annually and G6S normal***
PRICING: Prices are set after the kids are born and evaluated. Bucks range from $350-$500, does range from $400-$600. This is a performance farm, meaning that our animals should produce higher-than-average milk yields and have great conformation. A lot of work goes into showing and milk testing, as well as keeping a herd healthy. Our prices reflect that. Pricing may be adjusted due to market needs or for the character of the goat. Milk stars and show wins command a higher price tag. An animal with breed character flaws (particularly higher generations) may be priced differently. Wethered boys and any animal with serious breed defects (like an extra teat) will be sold unpapered at pet pricing ($150).
Per our Sales Policy , Size Matters Microranch reserves the right to retain any animal born on our property after kidding and before reservations are filled.
Size Matters Microranch is currently breeding for milk production, great udders, small size, beautiful conformation, and on-point breed character. Breeding for all these things is difficult (like genetic whack-a-mole). Color is not a priority, although we do expect some flashy kids. Some of our pairings have the potential to produce blue eyes, moonspots, chocolate, and/or polled kids.
If we are planning to retain a doe kid from a pairing, there is a higher likelihood the dam will be for sale. Please fill out our Reservation Form if you would like to make a reservation.
February
Andi*D*P x Trigger*B
UPDATE: Andi kidded 2 beautiful doelings and a buckling on 2-13-22. I will be contacting people on the reservation list. Kids will be F7; may be polled, moonspotted and/or blue–eyed with exceptional breed character. Kids should be milking powerhouses, as Andi JUST missed her *P by 1 point this year as a first-freshener nursing a singleton. We will try again next year, and expect a star early in freshening. She’s also a hand-milkers dream, with long-straight teats and a wonderful texture – she milks ALL the way out. With all these attributes, a buckling and possibly doeling will be retained, but reservations are available.Pearl 6*D 2*P x Trigger*B
UPDATE: Pearl kidded healthy triplets on 2/10/22. Kidding to occur after Feb 7th; ultrasound confirmed triplets. Milk, udder attachments and conformation will come from this fun pairing. These kids will be F3, should be medium-sized and have improved breed character over the dam. They may also be polled and/or moonspotted. Trigger has a *B, and Pearl has strong potential to earn her *P with this first-freshening. Reservations available.Brighid x Trigger*B
UPDATE: Brighid kidded 2 doelings and 1 buckling on 2-13-22. I will be contacting people on the reservation list. Kidding to occur after February 8th; ultrasound confirmed triplets. Kids should be F7, small stature, and well-balanced. Trigger should improve Brighid’s breed character and rump angle. Brighid’s dam is an 8-pound milker, so her potential is strong for a milk star. Trigger has his milk star and comes from soft, easy-to-milk udders. Kids may have moonspots, be polled, and/or have blue eyes. Doeling retained, reservations available.Fiona*D*P x Trigger*B
UPDATE: Fiona kidded a singleton buckling on 2-26-22. In an ongoing attempt to fix Fiona’s stubborn ears, Trigger will be brought in for this year’s litter. He should also improve her teat size and placement. They are very similarly built, so I expect these F6 kids to be petite, level and wide; possibly moonspotted and/or polled. They will for sure be milky as Fiona is an 8 lb milker, and Trigger was born with his star. Reservations available, bucklings will have a *B.Fort x Trigger*B
UPDATE: Fort kidded triplet bucklings on 2-28-22. Kidding to occur after Feb 24th; ultrasound confirmed triplets. These kids will be F4; may also be polled with roaning. They should be petite, but heavy milkers. Despite being a tiny FF, Fort had a respectable milk yield this year and should star early next year. Her teats are large with large orifices and she milks out all the way. She was singled out as an example of excellent general appearance at our 2021 MHMM Show. Doeling retained, reservations available.
