Our Animals

What We Raise

Every animal on the ridge is bottle-raised on affection and mildly poor decision-making.

Mini Donkeys

Sweet, sturdy, and endlessly opinionated. Our mini donkeys are bred for gentle temperaments and make wonderful companions or first farm animals.

Reservations Open

Nigerian Dwarf Goats

Nimble, curious, and always three steps ahead of the fence line. Raised for rich, sweet dairy milk and sold as bottle babies with sweet, people-loving temperaments.

Kidding Season: Spring

Mini Dachshunds

This program started with one very special dapple boy named Beau. Farm-raised, well socialized, and full of the same big-hearted spirit that started it all.

Litters by Waitlist

Mini Horses

Small in stature, big in personality. Our mini horses are gentle, easy to handle, and a favorite with kids visiting the herd.

2 On the Ridge

Alpacas

Curious, quiet, and endlessly photogenic. Our small alpaca herd rounds out the ridge with their soft fleece and gentle nature.

Meet the Herd

Good Stock, Good Hearts

The Donkeys

Gentle, sturdy, and full of color.

Our jennies and jacks are handled daily from the day they're born, so every foal grows up gentle, curious, and completely unbothered by kids, noise, or new faces. Coloring runs the full range — from soft dapples to classic grullo — which means no two foals look quite alike.

The Girls & The Boys

Bray Belles & The Jack Shack

Within our donkey herd, two special groups are always growing — the girls training for the Bray Belle wedding program, and the boys in our Jack Shack breeding program.

The Bray Belles

Our girls in training for the Bray Belle Burros wedding program — see them in action under Bray Belle Burros.

Tinkerbelle "Tink"

Wise eyes and a gentle soul, already well beyond her years at just one year old.

Booking Spring 2027

Honey

Beautiful and gentle, settling into her training well — ready before we know it.

In Training

Hope

A newer face around here, settling in nicely. Hope is a bit reserved and timid, and we're working with her to help her come out of her shell.

In Training

The Jack Shack

Our select breeding jacks, chosen for temperament as much as color.

Charlie

Charlie just joined our Jack Shack, and we can't wait to see what he produces. Reserved and every bit the gentleman.

Newest Sire

Buttons & Penny Lane

Mama and foal, born this spring and both staying right here on the ridge.

Buttons

Sweet, steady, and endlessly patient with a foal underfoot. Buttons is the kind of mama who makes every visitor stop for a photo.

Staying On the Farm

Penny Lane

Buttons' foal, and already the most spoiled resident on the farm. Penny naps in laps, follows the kids around the pasture, and has no plans of going anywhere — she's a keeper, through and through.

Staying On the Farm

The Goats

Raised for milk. Loved like family.

Our Nigerian Dwarf herd is raised for rich, sweet dairy milk and sweet personalities to match. Kids are dam-raised alongside daily handling, so they grow up comfortable with people from day one — perfect for a family homestead, a first dairy goat, or just a very good-natured pet. Every drop gets collected on a milking stand Brett built with his own hands, board by board, in the barn.

See Goat Pricing

Meet Our Goat Sires

Our herd sires, chosen for structure, color, and temperament.

The Fonz

Full of muscle and an even sweeter disposition — one of our goat sires.

Herd Sire

Ferdinand

Best friend of the Fonz and just as sweet — Ferdinand is planned for a few females this spring.

Breeding Spring 2027

Meet Our Does

Proven mamas, great milk producers, and the reason our kids turn out so well.

Freya

A tiny girl with a big personality — one of our Queen Bees, and for good reason. Great milk production and beautiful babies.

Herd Doe

Smooch

Freya and the Fonz's boy, and fast becoming a farm favorite — loves snuggles and headbutting your legs for pets.

Fan Favorite

Fiona

Our very first mama on the farm — strong, steady, and a very good milk producer.

Herd Doe

Forest

Fiona and the Fonz's boy — a mini version of his daddy, coloring and all.

Fan Favorite

Fawna

Fawna believes personal space is optional. If she sees you outside, she'll probably spend the day following you around like a Labrador in a goat suit.

Herd Doe

Faith

Faith was raised so closely alongside Rowdy that she's convinced she's part of the family — and honestly, she's not wrong.

Fan Favorite

The Dog Who Started It All

Beau

After college, I moved to California — and it was lonely. I'd had dachshund pups growing up, and something in me needed that back, so I bought Beau: a beautiful dapple boy with more heart than any dog I'd ever known.

He became my best friend. His lively little spirit is the whole reason we started breeding mini dachshunds here at Rowdy Ridge — we wanted to connect other people with this wonderful breed, the same way Beau connected with me.

The Next Chapter

Winston & Gracie

Winston carries his own line of color and personality into everything he does — fourteen pounds of confidence, health tested, and by all accounts convinced he runs the place. Gracie is the quieter counterpart: a shaded cream girl with the sweetest, goofiest streak on the farm, ten pounds soaking wet.

The two of them are expecting their first litter together, due August 2026 — Gracie's belly is already starting to swell, and we're counting the days right along with her. It's the next small chapter in the story Beau started, and we're glad to be sharing it as it happens.

Curious about a puppy from a future litter, or about Winston as a stud for your own girl? We're happy to talk it through — reach out here, or see the practical details on the Available Babies page.
