Old Dallas Mountain Farms - Nigerian Dwarf Goats

It’s Wednesday, the air’s getting cooler, and the mood around the farm is… let’s say romantically motivated.
Bornie is here, face to the fence, asking the age-old question:
“Where. Are. The. Ladies?” 😏

In honor of Bornie's very first dating season this year, y'all get a special treat from the man himself. Bornie gets his very own Clarihew poem.

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
When bucks are in rut, their cologne game changes dramatically.
They pee on their own faces and beards, fluff up their scent glands,
and strut around like the farm’s most questionable fragrance ad.
It’s not subtle but in goat world, it works.
Let’s just call it Eau de Determination. 💦🐐🔥

WEIRDNESS:
Meanwhile in the insect kingdom, male honeybees (drones) have… a dramatic love life.
After mating, their endophallus literally explodes and they die shortly after.
It’s nature’s way of saying, “go out with a bang.” 🐝💥
Bornie read about that once.
He respectfully disagrees with the concept of “one and done.”

Face to the fence.
Eyes on the horizon.
Confidence at an all-time high.
It’s officially flirtin’ season.

Bornie’s Mating Season Clarihew:
Bornie the buck, with swagger supreme,
Dreams of romance, and snacks, in the same dream.
He flirts through a fence with unshakable pride,
Because true love waits… on the other side. 💘

It’s Wednesday again, somehow.
The coffee’s half gone, the week’s half over,
and Lil Bit Sunthin is here to remind us that a little scratch and a lot of cute can fix just about anything. 🐐💖

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
Goats love a good scratch, especially under the chin.
That’s because their scent glands sit just below their horns,
and scratching helps them spread their personal “signature smell.”
So when a goat leans in for a good rub,
it’s not just affection…
it’s branding. 🐐✨

WEIRDNESS:
In 1518, Strasbourg, France was hit by a dancing plague.
Hundreds of people began dancing uncontrollably in the streets,
for days, even weeks, until many collapsed from exhaustion.
No one knows exactly why,
but Lil Bit figures they just heard the world’s most irresistible beat. 💃🕺

Pictured:
Lil Bit Sunthin, mid-scratch, mid-smirk,
and fully aware that she’s a lil bit adorable and a whole lot of trouble.

🌞 Sunday Smiles from the Farm 🐐💖

This is Hissy Fit, serving face and fully aware of it.
That grin says it all:
“Yes, I’m adorable. No, I won’t apologize.”

May your coffee be strong, your day be calm,
and your confidence at Hissy Fit levels. ☕😎

It’s Wednesday, and Baddie has that look.
Breeding season might not mean much to Nigerian Dwarfs—
because for them, every season can be breeding season. 🐐💘

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
Unlike many larger goat breeds, Nigerian Dwarfs don’t stick to a fall-only breeding cycle.
They can breed year-round, which means bucks like Baddie never really “turn it off.”
From the blubbering serenades to the eau de cologne (yes, that’s buck pee),
their courtship routine is always ready for prime time.
Romance, Nigerian Dwarf style. 💦🐐💖

WEIRDNESS:
Meanwhile in the ocean,
male anglerfish take “committed relationship” to a whole new level.
When they find a female, they bite her and never let go.
Eventually, their bodies fuse until the male is basically just… gonads with teeth.
Anglerfish call it love.
We call it parasitic marriage. 🐟🫀

Cookie season? No.
Busy season.

😄 Sunday Smiles 🐐🌞

This is Lulu.
Yes, that’s her real face.
Yes, she’s smiling at you.
And yes… it’s contagious. 💖

Happy Sunday from the farm!

Goats jumping, meat falling, just another Wednesday.

🐐 GOAT GOLD & WEIRDNESS WEDNESDAY! 🌟

GOAT GOLD:
Goats don’t just leap fences to escape—
sometimes, they jump simply because they’re happy.
Those little hops, twists, and sideways kicks you see in the pasture?
That’s called “pronking,” and it’s basically goat parkour.
It’s not strategy.
It’s not rebellion.
It’s just pure joy in motion. 🐐✨

WEIRDNESS:
In 1876, residents of Bath County, Kentucky, looked up to see…
raw meat falling from the sky.
Steak, mutton, mystery bits — raining down like confetti from a butcher’s parade.
The incident became known as the Kentucky Meat Shower.
Scientists eventually suggested vultures had vomited en masse while flying overhead.
Which raises a bigger question:
would you rather it actually rained meat…
or be standing under a sky full of puking vultures? 🌧️🥩🦅🤢

Pictured:
Four yearlings, carefree in the pasture, showing off the kind of joyful energy that reminds us:
sometimes life is about leaping for fun—
and sometimes it’s about being thankful the sky is only dropping sunshine. 🌞🐐
