New Colored Angora Goat Kids at The Eureka! Farm







Marla had triplets: a black, a deep red, and the darkest chocolate we have ever seen.




















Marla's dark chocolate kid, same as the one in the first picture.










Allen and Randy have one of the best Angora goat herd in the country. They especially like to raise colored goats with intense color. They have good fortunate in getting lots of baby goats this year.

Allen reports,

"Kidding is here, and in full-force! We have over 20 natural colored Angora Goat kids, with 8 alone being born on one day! Last fall, we bred most of our does to a buck (Eureka! Sparks) we had bred several years ago. Sparks won Champion Colored Angora Buck at many fairs and shows as a yearling when we showed him. We sold him after his winning year and never used him as a herd sire. His new owners decided to get out of goats last summer; we took the chance to get back this buck that we regretted selling! And, with the amazing depth of chocolate and red color this spring, we're glad to have him back on our farm!"
