Emerald C Ranch
August 15, 2010 - Welcome Anikka to Emerald C Ranch!
What's new on the Ranch...
August 15, 2010
Thank you to Barred-M-Ranch for our most recent addition. A smart grey dun Fjord filly with nice zebra markings on her legs and distinctive markings above her eyes. We have done some basic training with her, but her biggest contribution at the moment is companionship for Aksel.

What a day! we had our first kidding on the ranch, which produced one very healthy
Nigerian Dwarf buckling. We've decided to name him Fire Topaz - Fire after
his Sire, Firecracker and Topaz to fit with our ranch's gemstone naming theme.
His Dam,
Maybelline
is doing well and is making a very good mother. Watch him in action on YouTube

Aksel was gelded today and he seems to be recovering
nicely. It also seems our practice trips paid off because he loaded and unloaded
from
the trailer beautifully, even after the procedure.

We are proud to announce that Flat Rocks Fire Cracker has joined our Nigerian
Dwarf goat herd as our herd sire! Sunoco, a handsome and friendly wether, also
joined us to be
a pen-mate
for
Firecracker. Many thanks to Agape Oaks for
parting with him. I know he will do great things toward improving our herd.

We took Aksel for his first trip in the horse trailer, in preparation for his
trip to be gelded in February 2010. He loaded and unloaded like a champ and
calmly ate his hay the entire trip. There was one small trip up on the way
out of
the trailer, which was caused by some
hesitation
on our part, not his. All in all, I was very proud of his performance.

The website is finished! Rough as it may be, we are pleased that we now officially have a presence on the web.
September 26, 2009
We attended the NDGA sanctioned show, sponsored by the Lone
Star Goat Club at the Texas State Fair where we learned more about showing and
judging Nigerian Dwarf goats as well as scouted out several potential farms and ranches to find our herdsire.
