Old Dallas Mountain Farms - Nigerian Dwarf Goats

🐐💡 Goat Gold & Weirdness Wednesday! 💡🙈

🐐 Goat Fact:
Goats have accents—and they actually change over time.
Much like a human who starts picking up a Southern drawl or a bit of valley girl, goats adjust their vocal tones to match their herd.
Basically, they’re walking, bleating examples of “you are who you hang out with.” 🐐🎤

🙈 Weirdness:
Capuchin monkeys pee on their hands… to impress each other.
During mating season, male capuchins will urinate into their own hands and rub it all over themselves to woo the ladies.
It’s not subtle. It’s not classy. But apparently, in monkey terms… it’s hot. 💦💀

📸 Pictured: Born Yesterday (aka Bornie), giving us the look of someone who just heard about this and is thoroughly unimpressed.
“Pee… on their hands? Amateurs.”
(-Every buck in rut season, ever.)

➡️ So in summary:
🐐 Goats shift accents to match their crew.
🙈 Monkeys self-scent with pee to flirt.
🤔 And goats have zero time for rookie-level weird.

🐐🌸 Happy Easter from Old Dallas Mountain Farms! 🌸🐰

Meet Lulu, one of our sweetest little doelings—unregistered, but absolutely unmatched in charm. 💖
She’s here to remind us that sometimes the best things come in soft fur and gentle hearts… and occasionally stand next to Easter baskets. 🥚🐐

Wishing you all a joyful day filled with peace, sunshine, and maybe a few goat snuggles. 💐💕

Hard to believe it has already been a week but it's time for....

🐐💡 Goat Gold & Weirdness Wednesday! 💡🐸

🐐 Goat Fact:
Baby goats can start hopping within minutes of being born.
No training wheels, no warm-up laps—just pure, wobbly-legged zoomies on Day One. It’s like they come factory-installed with a built-in spring-loaded mischief mode. 🐐💨

🐸 Weirdness:
Some frogs literally freeze solid… and come back to life.
During winter, certain frogs completely shut down—no heartbeat, no breathing, nothing.
They turn into little amphibian ice cubes. ❄️💀
And then? When it warms up, they thaw out, wake up, and hop off like “Sup, did I miss anything?”
Nature didn’t just break the rules—it microwaved them. 💚

➡️ So in summary:
🐐 Goats are born bouncing.
🐸 Frogs can casually reboot themselves.
🤔 And nature continues to operate with zero supervision.

It's that time!

🐐💡 Goat Gold & Weirdness Wednesday! 💡🪱

🐐 Goat Fact: Goats can remember human faces… for years.
They don’t just recognize you—they remember if you were nice to them, brought snacks, or dared to trim their hooves. So if you feel like a goat is glaring at you from across the pasture… they probably are. 🐐👀📝

🪱 Weirdness: Sea cucumbers launch their own guts as a defense mechanism.
When threatened, they eject their insides straight out their back end in a dramatic display of “NOPE.” The attacker gets confused (or deeply traumatized), and the sea cucumber casually regrows its guts like it’s no big deal.
It’s basically biological passive-aggression with built-in regeneration. 💀💥

➡️ So in summary:
🐐 Goats don’t forget.
🪱 Sea cucumbers don’t hold back.
🤔 And nature clearly runs on chaos and petty vengeance.

🐐💡 Goat Gold & Weirdness Wednesday! 💡🍑💨

🐐 Goat Fact: Goats can learn their names—and will still act like they’ve never heard of you.
You could be holding a bottle, shaking a feed bucket, and shouting their name like it’s a fire drill, and your goat will just... blink at you. Slowly.
They know. They just don’t care.
It’s not ignorance. It’s defiance wrapped in fur and hooves. 🐐👑

🐢 Weirdness: Some turtles breathe through their butts.
Let that sink in. While hibernating, certain turtles absorb oxygen through their back-end breathing portals in a process called cloacal respiration.
It’s like biological Wi-Fi… but through the wrong router.
Scientists study it. Nature endorses it. And now you know it.
Somewhere out there, a turtle is silently judging you—and doing it entirely via butt-powered breaths. 🍑💨💀

➡️ So in summary:
🐐 Goats ghost you on purpose.
🐢 Turtles out here casually breathing through their butts.
🤯 And nature continues to be the weirdest reality show we’ve ever watched.
