Our animals – Goats

Beginning of September 2022 our two Nigerian Dwarf Goats arrived at Pukeatua Farmstay from Muddy Valley Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats.

They were born on 24th August 2021 in the middle of another Auckland Covid-10 lockdown and were still babies and only a week old.

Our now fully grown goats are called Muddy Valley Twi and Muddy Valley La. They love bouncing around in their paddock and up onto the things in their playground.

They are as close to a puppy as it can be. They feel very comfortable in the house. Just the cats are scared to death by them and avoid them or hissing at them. Poor cats.

June 2023 saw the arrival of two new goats to the collection, now we have 2 boys and 2 girls. No, no breeding.

The girls are very docile compared to the boys who seem to be more ‘active’, ie running, jumping and doing silly things.

We had flooding and cylones. The ducks have been the only very happy creatures but they turned their area into a slimy, muddy mess.Guess that sums up the last few months.
