Ruth 7*M VG86 – Sold to S.B.

Ruth’s story still brings tears to my eyes every time I recall it from memory. She was truly a gift from above.

When we first decided to pursue goats, a Google search for performance nigerian dwarf goats near me led me to Diane’s herd. I had chosen her doe Ferrari as the dam. Months went by, and Ferrari gave birth to two beautiful doelings and a buckling. I knew Diane would retain one of them, but there was one I absolutely loved from the moment I saw her. She was chamoisee in color with bright blue eyes. Before I knew much about goats, flashy was what I was attracted to. Ferrari was bred to a buck named “Sugar Daddy” and all of his offspring that year were named after candy or chocolate bars. Diane told me she was going to name this little doe Baby Ruth and the other Twizzler. I prayed that night, that if the Lord would let me have the chamoisee doeling I would use her to tell the story of Ruth from the Bible. That night, Ferrari accidently crushed her and she died. I was absolutely heartbroken. And so, we ended up with Bit-O-Honey instead, out of a different dam.

Now look at these two pictures. The first picture is Diane’s goat Ferrari and her kids, Baby Ruth on the far right. The second picture is Bit’s daughter. I have some serious writing to do!
