Time to thin the herd and flock |

September 1, 2017 |
Marchita Johnson, who is retired from a career
in retail management and now describes herself
as a grandmother, gardener, farmer and daughter
of the King, is working to divest her Moyie
Springs farm of a few goats and chickens, but
she wants to make sure the homes they go to are
as loving and caring as hers is.
She is offering for sale one awesome dwarf
Nigerian wether who knows his name, understands
some commands and is super sweet. All she wants
is reimbursed for hiscastration fee of $76.
"He is a lovable pet and not for eating,"
Marchita said. "He sired all our kids, but I
don't sell bucks as they are usually mistreated.
He is a beautiful little guy. CAE and CL
negative."
There are also two dwarf Nigerian kids. Sweet
William is disbudded (no horns) and wethered, so
he can't breed. He is a tri-colored buckskin and
beautiful.
"He is such a gentleman he convinced two of our
does to mother him!" she said.
Willy is CAE and CL negative. He is a special
little guy and Marchita would love to keep him
but doesn't have room. Asking $50, she said
Willy, too, is not for eating, but a pet only.
Poppy is a sweet little girl that will make an
awesome milk doe. Her mother died and Poppy grew
up bottle fed. She is disbudded and ready for a
new farm where she will be lovingly cared for.
Poppy is a purebred from great milk lines, CAE
and CL negative, but no papers. She is $75 and a
great opportunity for someone starting a new
homestead. If there are no other goats at their
new home, Marchita said, Poppy and Willy must go
together.
She's also selling this year's chickens as she
has too many. There are two Issa brown hens that
started laying two months ago who are offered
for $20 each, a Black Astralorp that just
started laying one month ago, also $20 and one
awesome Americana Rooster, who will produce
green egg laying chicks, for $10. All are
organically raised and clean birds and Marchita
will consider group deal.
