Does

The "girls" of the Whistlekick Pygora herd have been carefully selected from top bloodlines for their fiber quality, conformation and temperament. The herd is large enough to provide variety in fiber, but small enough that we know each goat individually. Our goaties are "part of the family" and are handled with love and care. We get a lot of joy out of our interaction with our Pygoras.

The Whistlekick herd is a blend of personalities. In fact, it's almost two mini-herds: a group of more mature does who go about their day sedately grazing, resting and ruminating, and a group of "babies" - the younger does who spend their day interspersing wild bouts of play with their grazing, resting and ruminating. Come meet the girls……..

Note: For an explanation of micron counts, spin fineness and comfort factor, see our Sales & Services Page.
 
Whistlekick's Molly
Molly is the kid who started our love affair with goats (read her story on our home page. Now a grand old lady of 9, Molly rarely honors the rest of our herd with her presence. Since she was raised with our horses before the other goaties came to live here, Molly is convinced that she is a horse, preferring to spend her time with the horses rather than the goats (ok, who are we fooling? If we let her, Molly would be in the house with us).

Fleece Type: B
Micron Count: 18 µ
Spin Fineness: 24 µ
Comfort Factor: 80.7%
Sire: Applebright Farm Clifford
Dam: Hollyhock Hollow Margo

Lula and her gorgeous daughter, Snow, came to us from Verdant Vistas. Lula is a beautiful doe; square bodied and strong legged with a pretty face and a kind temperament. She settled right into our herd, establishing her place as one of the dominant girls. Her fiber is a beautiful white with a hint of caramel and her babies are fabulous!
Verdant Vistas Snow

Fleece Type: B
Micron Count: 19 µ
Spin Fineness: 25.4 µ

Dam: Goose Creek Farms Bee Bop a Lula

For sheer beauty, Snow is IT in the herd. Great conformation and a refined head with luminous eyes and a sweet personality to match. And oh, her fiber…soft, thick, warm, white with a hint of caramel and a beautiful sheen. Snow is a bit more dignified than the rest of the herd, but she will unbend enough to play.
Tuckerwoods Farm Adeline (Winnie)

Color/Fleece Color: light grey agouti/white
Fleece Type: A
Micron Count: 20 µ
Spin Fineness: 25 µ
Comfort Factor: 93.4%
Sire: Fluffball Farm Falkner
Dam: Hawks Mountain Ranch Blue Bell

When this girl came to us, we were not sure what we had. We knew the bloodlines were good. And then she started to grow fiber, surprising us with a luscious, curly, thick, type-A coat. Silky, cool and soft, her fiber almost spins itself.

Spin Fineness: 25 µ
Comfort Factor: 82.4%
Sire: Baker Ridge Arvydas
Dam: Verdant Vistas Pygoras Black Velvet

Another wonderful Verdant Vistas kid, Bresa is a magnificent example of a Pygora goat: great conformation with incredible fleece (soft, soft, soft) and a winning personality. At the Shepherd's Harvest gathering in Lake Elmo, MN, her fiber was the first to sell out. To read a professional opinion of her fiber, see the Fall 2008 issue of Spin-Off magazine (page 80).
Weeping Willows Ginger

Fleece Type: B
Micron Count: 21 µ
Spin Fineness: 38.2 µ
Comfort Factor: 90.6%
Sire: Verdant Vistas Aiden
Dam: 4 Bucks Ranch Ginger

You're not supposed to have favorites, but I have to admit that I do and Ginger is it. She is the explorer of the herd. Knowing no fear (and few boundaries), Ginger sets out to explore the world - or at least our farm. A playful, energetic, loving Pygora, she loves to have her belly scratched. Ginger has a soft, deep, thick coat of caramel once a year.
Weeping Willows Taffy

Fleece Type: B
Micron Count: 19 µ
Spin Fineness: 21.7 µ
Comfort Factor: 99.1%
Sire: Weeping Willow Pygoras Ezekiel
Dam: Weeping Willow Pygoras Ruth

Even though they are not related, we referred to Ginger and Taffy as "the twins". When they were babies, they looked very much alike and, coming from the same farm, they are devoted to each other. As they mature, you can see differences between them: Ginger is more daring and Taffy has fluffier, curlier, softer fiber. A dream to spin, the feel of her fiber slipping through your fingers as you spin is a treat. As is Taffy herself (except for her voice - somehow, she sounds more like a foghorn than a goat : ).

Spin Fineness: 35.7 µ

Colene comes to us from Verdant Vistas. She is one of the shyer goats in the herd. She has an adorable cap of curls that flops over her forehead when in full fleece and the most amazing, soft, abundant, curly fiber. She truly looks like a walking fleece ball when in full fleece. Colene is the proud mama of Contessa.

Dam: Verdant Vistas Snow

Named by my husband, Scarlett was our first 2010 baby and is the first to carry our farm name. A lovely fawn color (that she gets from her handsome sire) with white ears and a white 'crown', Scarlett is an elegant girl who will have great confirmation and lovely fiber.

Sassy was opinionated from her first breath (I know because I delivered her) and not shy about letting you know it. Twin to Scarlett, Sassy is an active, friendly girl who loves to explore and takes after her mom, Snow, with a soft, fluffy white coat.

And what a beauty Grace is growing up to be! 2010 winner of the Doelings, 6-12 month class, winner of the Dam/Daughter class, and winner of the Get of Sire class at OFFF 2010.

She has lovely ringlets and a glossy coat. Gabrielle made us proud this year at OFFF, winning the Get of Sire class with her sister Grace.

Color/Fleece Color:
Fleece Type:
Micron Count: 20.5 µ
Comfort Factor: 89.9%
Sire: Cattail Meadows Farm Alec
Dam: Verdant Vistas Colene

'Tessa' is the single doeling born in the spring of 2011 at Whistlekick Pygoras. She is very affectionate and likes to be right with me when I am working in the barn or field. Tessa is the most independent baby we've ever had. Although she checks in with mom Colene from time to time, you will find Tessa exploring on her own or hanging out with Ginger and her girls. Scratching her neck sends her into raptures of bliss as her eyes close and she zones out. Tessa's fleece is very soft, springy and curly.

Sally is the second of the two new does from Crickview Ranch. A big shyer than Darcy, Sally is a thinker. She is very willing to accept pats and scratches once she is convinced it is to her benefit. She has wonderfully soft fiber to go with that sweet face.
