Heart's Pasture Farm Nigerian Dwarf Goats: Audacious in Every Way

2/15/2025

 
"Once in a while we will take a photo that perfectly encapsulates the goat, expressing the essential features that define a Heart's Pasture Farm Nigerian Dwarf Goat."

Some of the pictures that we take of our animals serve a most basic purpose of capturing them in a natural setting. In these pictures one would see our animals living out their happy lives here at Heart's Pasture. A lot of the time, it's actually not easy to sneak a cute photo of a pair of goats lounging in the summer sun, and while in the woods, they move quite often, and pictures often turn out blurry. Taking multiple photos could still mean that none meet our standards. But once in a while we will take a photo that perfectly encapsulates the goat, expressing the essential features that define a Heart's Pasture Farm Nigerian Dwarf goat.

This photo is one of them. Aster, our Nigerian Dwarf dam, is pictured here in her yearly photo on our photo platform. A few things have been edited out of this photo, but all of Aster remains. In addition, we placed her against an equally-as-dramatic black backdrop, accentuating her beauty through the dark. This is a photo that crosses into art, yet still showcases the true body conformity of a properly raised dairy goat. Only a background such as this could fully capture Aster's spirit and match her personality.

Aster stands tall (and proud). Her nicely shaped hooves hold her body stature upright, highlighting her straight back line. Her fully upright tail and head conveys the powerful energy of her youthfulness. Her deep black coat is sleek and shiny, with only a bit of tame white showing near her hind leg.

Aster truly is a Heart's Pasture Farm dairy goat. She is brave, bold, daring, and perhaps a bit unconventional.
