Cocoa Chanel
I finally managed to track down one very tiny nigerian dwarf female goat for my 10 year old to show for 4H over the next year.
We fell in love with her little chocolate brown face and markings. What's not to love about this little creature?
At 6 months old she is miniscule compared to my herd of saanan/nubian does. So far they have not accepted her into the herd. They push her away from the food and won't let her lay with them. Goats are serious about head butting. I am confident in about a week she will find her place in the herd.
She is learning to show us the diva inside of her with her new fashion accessories straight from the pooch isle at pet smart.
Before anyone remarks on her horns - we do NOT disbudd. Our county 4H allows horned goats to be shown at the fair. The counties around us do not but the one we live in does. Now that is progress, people.

Okay, I'll admit it. That's a cute goat!
I was in 4-H and LOVED it. I still have all my 4-H cookbooks! I hadn't even thought to look for a local chapter for my girl child. We can't keep livestock here but she would love the cooking, sewing, etc. Might have to look into that!
What a sweet face she has!! I hope they accept her soon; I hate to think of her being mistreated.
Very cute! For a goat :)
Cute goats. Just out of curiousity, what do you do with goats? Pets? Food source?
