REGISTERED DOES
McKENNA
Re-Homed to Lafayette, CA.
McKenna is an ADGA registered doe. She has had three kiddings; two here at Redwood Grove Farm. Her second kidding here happened on March 17, 2021, giving us two colorful babies, one buck and one doe. McKenna came to us with an injured leg and Kathleen nursed her back to health. She's one of the sweetest does we have.
KIRA
Re-Homed to Clayton, CA.
Kira is an ADGA registered doe. She was bred in November 2021 for a kidding in April 2022. Her favorite place is on your lap if you're willing to sing to her.
KAYLIN
Re-Homed to Clayton, CA.
Kaylin is an ADGA registered doe. She is the half-sister to Kira, and is usually by her side. Kaylin is playful and very friendly to people and the other does. She will be bred in Summer 2022 for a kidding in Fall 2022.
NON-REGISTERED DOES
LEAH
Re-Homed to Briones, CA.
Leah is a gray-roan purebred Nigerian Dwarf goat with blue eyes. She was a rescue goat and as such, we have no registration background. She had her second kidding in February 2022, giving us three differently colored doeings with blue eyes and white markings. She is the ruler of the flock.
COLLEEN
Re-Homed to Placerville, CA.
Colleen is a tri-colored, purebred Nigerian Dwarf goat with blue eyes. She was a rescue goat and as such, we have no registration background. She had her first kidding in February 2021, giving us two beautifully marked bucklings with blue eyes. She is the ruler of the flock when Leah isn't watching.
FIONA
Re-Homed to Briones, CA.
Fiona is a Chamoisee-patterened, purebred Nigerian Dwarf goat with brown eyes. She was a rescue goat and as such, we have no registration background. She had her second kidding in February 2022, giving us one chamoisee doeling and one black buckling. Fiona is very people oriented and will usually follow us around the yard.
SHAUNA
Re-Homed to Placerville, CA.
Shauna is a light gold-colored, purebred Nigerian Dwarf goat with brown eyes. She was a rescue goat and as such, we have no registration background. Her second kidding was in February 2022. She was bred to Seamus and as such, produced two very colorful doelings with brown eyes. Shauna is a very gentle doe.
REGISTERED BUCKS
SEAMUS
Available for Purchase
Seamus is an ADGA registered buck, all black with unique blue eyes. The breeder made us promise not to neuter him because of his good conformation and those bright blue eyes. (And that's what got us started in our breeding hobby.) Seamus sired Rooney and Finnegan in our herd. Seamus keeps the other boys in line.
DEVON
Re-Homed to Placerville, CA.
Devon is an ADGA registered tri-colored buck with brown eyes. Devon competes with Seamus for the does' attention, and he sired Leah's and Colleen's kids. Devon is number two in the boys' yard, except when it comes to food; then he's usually first in line.
ROONEY
Re-Homed to Walnut Creek, CA.
Rooney is an ADGA registered tri-colored buck with blue eyes. He is the son of Seamus, born July 2020. We kept him to help us promote the blue eyed babies in our herd. He is leash-trained and enjoys outings to senior centers with his brother, Finnegan. His first breeding will be in Fall 2022 (If he's interested.)
FINNEGAN
Re-Homed to Walnut Creek, CA.
Finnegan is an ADGA registered tri-colored buck with brown eyes. He is the son of Seamus, born July 2020. Finnegan is an example of what happens if we give a baby a name... we end up keeping him! Originally the runt of the kidding, Finnegan is very colorful and has turned out to be the most playful and affectionate buck in our herd. He is leash-trained and enjoys outings to senior centers with his brother, Rooney. His first breeding will be in Fall 2022.
NON-REGISTERED WETHERS
GRADY
Re-Homed to Pittsburg, CA.
Grady is the old man of the herd. He was one of Kathleen's original goats, acquired to mow the two acres of waist-high weeds. He is a neutered gray and white goat with Nigerian characteristics, but larger than the average dwarf goat. He may have another breed mixed in there, but he has the sweet disposition of his fellow Nigerians. Nothing phases Grady.
LIAM
Re-Homed to Pittsburg, CA.
Liam was purchased to be a companion to Grady. He is an unregistered, neutered Nigerian Dwarf. Liam is shy and skittish, probably because we didn't have the chance to bottle feed him early in his life. He is, however, Grady's buddy, and they're usually hanging out together.
ALPACAS
Winston and Cromwell
We came across Winston and Cromwell while searching for a way to protect our chickens from marauding raccoons and foxes. We learned alpacas will attach themselves to whatever menagerie you have and protect them against intruders. Alpacas are smaller than their llama cousins. They are tame around humans and will eat from your hands. They don't spit like llamas do either; instead they hum when they are content.
Alpaca fleece is denser and warmer than sheep wool. Our alpacas produce unique "rose-gray" wool with varying degrees of crimp. We shear them once a year in late Spring. For information about how to obtain some alpaca wool for your own spinning, click
Winston and Cromwell help graze the acreage and are very amusing creatures when they run and play. Alpacas also produce potent fertilizer that is readily available to your plants without composting. For information about obtaining our mixed alpaca-goat manure to fertilize for your own garden, click
CHICKENS
Redwood Grove Farm is also home to a variety of chicken breeds. They lay eggs of different sizes and colors... Copper, brown, tan, white, green and olive. The chickens are always a hit with visiting children, as a few of them will eat from your hand if you're patient enough. (It is a constant chore to feed and clean up after them.) They also let us know when something unfamiliar enters the yard.
DOGS
ALLIE
Allie is a Welch Corgi who has herding titles from her younger days. Allie is very easy-going and leaves all the trouble up to her half sister, Sophie. Allie is annoyed by cats.
ZEENA
Zeena is a Dutch Shepherd Malinois, very energetic and very athletic. She never seems to tire and can jump the four-foot fences with ease. She has started Agility Sports training. Zeena plays with the cats.
SOPHIE
Sophie is a strong-willed Welch Corgi, half-sister to Allie. Sophie is too smart for our own good and is also very good at Agility Sports. Sophie has to constantly remind Zeena that Corgis rule. Sophie tolerates the cats.

WILDLIFE
Redwood Grove Farm is surrounded by wildlife, both on the ground and in the air. We have nesting pairs of Kites, Great Horned Owls and other predator birds. We're visited by various songbirds. We see deer, and of course the ever-present coyotes who test our fences. We're occasionally visited by turkeys, raccoons and foxes.
