Meet the Goats!

Star

Hi, my name is Star. I was born on March 4, 2022. I am a female Nigerian Dwarf goat, otherwise known as a “doe”, who gave birth to Angel and Lil’ Wayne. I love affection, especially behind my ears. I am gentle and love being with children. I am always willing to make a new friend. 

Angel

Hi, my name is Angel. I was born on May 27, 2023. I am a female Nigerian Dwarf goat. I am smaller than my twin brother, Lil’ Wayne. I enjoy playing with my family and love people as well. I like to stand up on two legs to rear and head butt my pasture mates. This is how I play. I am small, but mighty! 

Lil’ Wayne

Hi, my name is Lil’ Wayne. I was born on May 27, 2023 just like my twin sister Angel. I am the only male goat of the herd. I am known as a “wether”. I love to play! I am very curious and will lower my head and nudge you to get attention. I love to head butt as a sign of my affection and playfulness. I adore the attention you give me. 

Ash

Hi, my name is Ash. I was born on May 5, 2023. I am a female Dwarf Nigerian goat. 
Star is my half-sister! We have the same mom but different fathers. That means I am 
Angel and Lil’ Wayne’s aunt! I am quieter than the other goats in our herd and 
sometimes like to be alone. Although I am shy, I enjoy your company and hope we can 
be friends .
