GoatsBunnies

In 2005 we took some of our Miniature Horses to the Arizona State Fair, for our club's
booth there to showcase the minis. We were next to the barn where there were goats
being shown, and we speant a lot of time in there learning about the goats. We fell in
love with the Nigerian Dwarf breed, and couldn't go home without one! We currently
have 6 wethers and 1 doe whom we adore. A wether is a nuetered male goat, and
they make excellent pets! We also have a pygmy wether. Goats act like dogs in that
they're playful, trainable, and love attention. We would love to add a red mini nubian
with the nubian ears to enjoy our home. We hope you enjoy learning about our goats
as much as we love showing them off :)

Twix was our first goat. He was born in 2005. He LOVES attention, and comes
running when he hears the word "cookie" Cookies are his favorite treat! He will even
walk on his hind legs to get one!

Reeces was our second goat, we got him as a companion for Twix. He was born in
2005. His breeder has shown him, and he did quite well, earning Grand Champion
Wether twice! Like Twix, he loves attention and will come running at the mention of a
cookie :)

Butterscotch was born 2006. When we got him at about 4-6 months old, he was very
skittish. If you went anywhere near him he'd run away. It wasn't long before kind
patience and cookies won him over! Now he won't stay away from people! :)

Raisin was born 2006. Not only is he the first bottle baby we've had, but we got to
bottle feed him! He came home at only 5 weeks old. I just LOVED to bottle feed him,
he's sooo cute and sweet :) Most of the time I'd bring him in the house with me for
his bottle, and we'd sit together with all the kitties surrounding us, hoping they could
have a turn at the bottle :) Raisin follows me everywhere, and I've been known to
take him for walks (no leash necessary) and to Petsmart :)

In 2007 I saw photos of Skittles on a goat forum, and I knew I just HAD to have him!
Ashley of Sweet Gum Minis in SC is his breeder, and I am so very greatful she was
willing to go the extra steps to ship him all the way to Az for us! At first he was very
skittish, but he has quickly realized scritches on his neck feel great!

Starburst is a 2007 Nigerian Dwarf doe. Like Reeces, she has two beautiful blue eyes.
We got Starburst because she kept escaping and eating expensive plants at her
previous home. We're happy to have her eat our weeds ;)

Cadbury is another adorable Nigerian Dwarf wether. He was born 3/09 and was able
to come home to CheyAut Ranch end of May 09. He is a little timid at the moment,
but I"m sure time will fix that :)

Oreo is an adorable Nigerian Dwarf doe. She was born 7/09. She looks like a spotted
blanket appy horse, so of course I couldn't resist going to see her! When I met her
and saw what a friendly personality she has, I knew she was coming home with me :)

Almond Joy is a beautiful Nigerian Dwarf wether. I believe he was born in 2008. He
belonged to a friend of ours who didn't have a good set up for a lone goat, so he
came to live with us. He looks similar to Cadbury, and odd enough these two became
friends right away!
