For Sale at Itty Bitty Critter Farm

Home The Girls The Boys For Sale Scrapbook FYI

I am working on all my web pages over the next few weeks and some pictures are not showing up. Please be patient -- they will be there soon!


Itty Bitty Critter Farm goats are dairy goats so they will not be sold for meat. We want them to go to good homes only! A good home is one that provides all the following: another caprine companion (goats are social creatures and need other goats around them); a clean, dry, protected shelter (goats don't like to be wet!); fresh water, good quality hay and minerals; secure fencing to keep goats in and wandering dogs out; a large enough area to run, jump, and play (goat toys are a bonus - things to climb on like old spools or children's picnic tables, even stumps); a safe environment free of hazardous materials (this includes poisonous plants - be familiar with this list, especially yard flowers and plants); regular worming (we use herbal wormer) and health care; routine hoof trimming; but most of all...lots of love and attention! Also, find a veterinarian that knows goats (not all vets do). See our F.Y.I. page for more information. Although we originally only sold breeding stock and pet quality animals, we have now added registered stock to our family.

Each and every one of our breedings are planned. Bucks and does are kept separate to ensure the intended kidding, dates in which to expect babies, to monitor the doe and help with kidding issues, and to dip naval cords. We put a lot of time into each individual choice, choosing the best buck for each doe, whether it be for show quality and milking, or even just a weed eater or pet. We care about each and every one of our babies. We're striving not only to improve our herd but to improve the breed as well.

We play with all our babies to make sure they are used to being handled. This makes it much easier when it comes to hoof trimming and medicine time. Matter of fact, all our babies are a wee bit spoiled.

Price: $300.00 and up after quality is seen

BLUE EYES - add $25.00

The Heart Family For Reference Only -- The Heart family consists of, from the right, mama Queenie, Minxy and SuzyQ. They have given us several babies this year. These babies are the first registered animals to actually be born on our farm. Queenie and Minxy are not for sale. They are pictured only for reference. Sadly, we lost SuzyQ December 2009.

We have beautiful registered breeding stock from wonderful bloodlines. (See lineage charts below.)

Lil' Sweetheart

Price $325.00

blue eyes



Lil Sweetheart Lil' Sweetheart, also known as Lily or Lil, is solid black with just a small white patch on top of her head and she has blue eyes. She is a precious little thing that isn't first in line, but by no means is she ever last. Although she is somewhat timid, she loves being cuddled and petted. Actually, she has started coming out of her shell and it becoming more forward. She's seen the light -- if you want anything around here, you better be outspoken!
Charcoal

Price $300.00



Charlie Charcoal is solid black with brown eyes. Charlie, as we like to call him, is the ring leader of this group babies. He is very bold and inquisitive, does not appear to be afraid of anything. We think he will make a wonderful herd sire and seems to have great form. Loves all the attention and is very insistent on being picked up and held.

Suzy Q's Babies:
Nigerian Dwarf triplets - born December 14, 2009

Dam: Spicebush Farm Suzy Q/Sire: Hoppy Aden's Hoppy Too

Due to their birth by c-section, we do not know which order they were born. From their personalities, I think I could guess! They lived in our house and were bottle fed. The first several weeks, all they did was eat and sleep. Those days are definitely over. Once they were old enough, they should have been migrated outside. Well, this is Missouri. Cold weather set in, then snow. At two months they were still in the house! They did finally get to move outside and are enjoying having all the extra attention. They are all really friendly and all of them have plenty of energy, but that is just all in a goat's life.

Dr. Ringen and Dr. Middleton are available now and all registration papers are completed. Dr. Lewis has gone to a new home with the Bays family.

Dr. Middleton

Price $300.00

Dr. Middleton (aka Doc) looks like mama. He is brown with lots of black on his body and has an irregular patterned white blob on his head and also has about one inch of white on the tip of his tail. Another difference in the two boys is the color of brown. Doc's brown has a greyish cast to it where Rin's has a golden cast. However, it's not something you would be able to tell unless both of them are side by side. You start noticing the subtle differences. He is definitely the trouble maker (in a good way, of course), into everything, another ring leader.
Dr. Ringen

Price $300.00

Dr. Ringen (aka Rin) also looks like mama. He looks like Doc except his white blob is smaller and more circled than Doc's is. He is more laid back, until it comes time for dinner - and breakfast and supper and snack time.....they all get a bit aggressive then. Rin would prefer to wait to eat just so he can be snuggled. Now who's the smartest?

Dam: Spicebush Farm Minxy/Sire: Hoppy Aden's Hoppy Too



Lightning is available now and registration has been completed for him. Lil' Miracle is not for sale.

Lightning

Price $300.00



Lightning Lightning is black with that same white little blob on his head and he has brown eyes. Because things got so hectic with bottle babies in the house, bad weather outside, just all kinds of stuff going on, poor little Lightning was not introduced to the love and support he should have been when he was born. He was not as friendly as most of our babies. But he's slowly come around. He really likes feed time. He got that one figured out really quick! Matter of fact, he hangs back because he knows I will hand feed him. Another really smart one!

Frosty

Price $150.00

Nigerian Dwarf single buckling - born December 11, 2009

Dam: Baby Jr./Sire: Buckwheat

Frosty is basically white with patches of tricolor on his shoulders extending down his back, one foot, and his face. He has brown eyes and is very inquisitive. Loves attention but does not want to be held, unless of course, it's his idea. He doesn't like the others getting what he declares as his attention so he is usually the first one pawing on your back or your leg saying "pay attention to me!"

Frosty is available now.

Snowball

Price $150.00



Nigerian Dwarf twin buckling - born December 12, 2009

Dam: Reba/Sire: Brock

Snowball is white all over with pink skin. That is probably not good for a boy! But he's a goat, so he probably doesn't care. He has a really cute little heart-shaped pink nose and has golden brown eyes. I think he and his brother are beautiful. They started out somewhat timid but got over that really quickly.

Snowball is available now.

Snowflake

Price $150.00



Nigerian Dwarf twin buckling - born December 12, 2009

Dam: Reba/Sire: Brock

Snowflake is also white all over with pink skin, that same little heart shape on his nose, and golden brown eyes. However, he has waddles. He is a little bit more timid than his brother but both still love attention. They nibble on you from behind if you don't give them attention. Of course, most of our babies do that - they all love attention!

Baby Girl (Penny)

Price $225.00

blue eyes

Nigerian Dwarf single doeling - born February 1, 2010

Dam: Penny/Sire: Buckwheat

Penny's Baby Girl name has the name of "Penny's Baby Girl". That just seemed to stick. And since PBG is what I write on all my paperwork, that reminds me of peanut butter and jelly. I've been calling her Jelly. She is multi-colored with blue eyes and no waddles. This is the second baby for Penny and she looks just like Penny's first baby, Kuddles. Her personality is very loving and somewhat shy but she is another one that will gently paw on your back to get attention. She comes in Miracles "special room" too and likes one-on-one attention. Loves to be held and snuggled.

She is available now.

Mischief

Price $150.00

Nigerian Dwarf twin buckling - born February 8, 2010

Dam: Maggie/Sire: Hoppy Aden's Hoppy Too

Maggie's Baby Boy, now with the name of Mischief or Chief for short, is white with black stripes over his brown eyes and waddles like his mama. In fact, he looks just like his mama's baby pictures. His personality is that of a mischievious child, into everything he can get into. He is everywhere you look, running all over (and quick at that). He will make someone a great herd sire.

He is available now.

Other Goats Available

Sassafras (Sassy)

Price $125.00

(Possibly) Alpine/Nubian Cross Doe born 02/18/08 (twin to Sox)

Dam: Daisy / Sire: BigUn

Sassy is mostly black with white "socks" on each foot.. She has white stripes on her face around her eyes as well as her mouth. There is quite a bit of light brown on her, especially on her face. She is also very friendly but is more reserved. After she had given birth to her first babies, she became a very overprotective mother. She and Blaze, and of course, her two newest twins, are the only goats we have left that are not Nigerian. She's lonely without her mama here and needs to go to a good home. Sassy as a baby is pictured on the left in the first picture with her brother Sox on the right.

Trouble

Price $50.00

Possibly Alpine/Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf twin buckling - born April 11, 2010

Dam: Sassy/Sire: Smokey

He is a beautiful little black buckling with white facial markings and white stripes on all four legs. Looks so much like his Uncle Sox when he was born. He is highly energetic, which makes mama Nervous Nellie trying to watch after them. Now that he is a little bit older, it was easy to find a name to fit his personality - Trouble (with a capital T). He is so friendly and you can just see the honeriness coming out of him. Loves being petted or just any kind of attention. He's not mean or anything, just super funny, running around like he's just "looking for trouble".

He is available now.

Bobbi

Price $85.00

Possibly Alpine/Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf twin doeling - born April 11, 2010

Dam: Sassy/Sire: Smokey

She is a beautiful heather grey doeling with feet that are just a slightly darker shade. Her head and face have some darker shading of grey as well as just a hint of tan going on in these areas. A dorsal stripe is starting to emerge, but not sure which colors will be involved there. She has two waddles; however, her right waddle is attached to her ear - like an earring. She and her brother romp, stomp, jump and play continuously.

There are some nice sized udders in this family (Mama Sassy and Grandma Daisy) so I'm expecting good milk results from her also.

Although she is super shy and does not want to be picked up at all, she has figured out that Miracle has a "special room" and she joins Miracle there -- she likes that special treatment too! Since I had wanted to call her something to do with her one waddle hanging off her ear, like Earbob, and Earbob wasn't very feminine sounding, it just drifted into Bobbi for short but EarBob is her actual name.

She is available now.

Pricing

We ask that you come to the farm to see the animals before purchasing them. Our pricing structure is based on quality of animals with all animals being picked up at our farm as we do not ship. At this time, we do not accept deposits on animals via email.

Nigerian Dwarf goats do not have a specific breeding season as some breeds of goats do. Our breeding is staggered throughout the year so there may be kids available at any given time, although our kids will not be for sale until they are at least two to three months of age. We don't have a waiting list but we'll do our very best to keep our Sales Page up to date including expected due dates. If you are looking for something special, let us know, especially if it is a buck. It is best to email us with your request.

Once a decision is made to buy an animal, we will ask for half the purchase price as a deposit until pick-up arrangements can be made. The balance will be due prior to the time of pick-up.

If we don't have the perfect animal for you, we'd be happy to refer you to someone else who might. Also, look at our Girls and Boys page. See something there you like? Just contact us. We may have something for sale that is not listed.

A health certificate is required for transportation out of the state of Missouri. For importation requirements for your state, go to USDA APHIS Veterinary web site [http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/animals/animal_import/animal_imports_states.shtml].



After The Sale

Along with the purchase of one of our kids, we will gladly supply new owners with a history of each animal that includes all medications that the animal has received as well as multiple resources and ongoing support. If needed, we'll demonstrate how to trim hooves, test for worms and if you choose to give your own immunizations, we'll also demonstrate giving an injection. We'll always be here for you, answering any questions you have and assist you any way possible. We strongly encourage new owners to learn about caring for goats before taking their new friends home.

As with other animals, caring for a goat involves commitment throughout the lifetime of the animal. Goats are intelligent, affectionate and entertaining creatures that will reward you with many years of companionship and delicious milk if properly cared for. If you are unwilling to invest in, or are financially unable to provide adequate shelter, nutrition and veterinary care, then goat ownership is NOT for you.

Please feel free to ask questions - we love talking goats!
