The farm name is "Thistledew" (play on words for "this will do")

The goat herd I am calling the "flower children".....aside from the two wethers, they will be named for flowers and plants

Our farm name is RainySunday Ranch

Herd name (with ADGA and AGS) is RainySunday (tattoo RSUN)

Our goats so far follow their mom's name for theme. The four does were bought as adults and therefore were named and registered before we got them.

Peekaboo had Tag You're It and Hopscotch last year, and this year had Solitaire and Double Dutch (kid games, see?)

Amber had Koelsch, Pilsner and Shandy this year (beer type beverages)

Alibi had Felony and Jail Bird this year (legal names)

And Lindy (registered name Lindsey, which I don't like as a goat name, so we call her Lindy, like Lindy Hop) didn't end up following the theme. She had one special little guy we named Gizmo; he didn't make it, but he was a funny little guy.

Next year, we will probably switch to a theme of the year, or something.

We don't really have a farm name, I call it Spoonfed Farm, hubby calls it Honey Do.

My ADGA herd name is Bee Udderly Happy. It is too long for fancy goat names, but I like it. It is also my soap and lotion business name. My tatoo is BAB1

My ABGA herd name is Kaleidoscope. Thanks to Roll Farms I have a spot addiction and I wanted a name that would reflect the wild patterned goats I hope to breed. My tag line on my business cards is Kaleidoscope Boers, where quality animals can be spotted. :D

Everything operates under KF-Acres- the dairy, sheep, and beef... But we have been known to show under Hurricane Hamps, and Black Diamond Shrops.

I was playing around with German words and came up with Schön Farbe witch translates into beautiful color
I'm still starting out in the goat business and none of my baby's are registered yet so idk if the registration people would let you do that sort of thing or not but I like it

I have not been able to register as of yet. I do have a name picked for the farm. I have a small list of possibilities for the herd name as well and I am pretty sure my tattoo pick is not being used either. Crossing fingers, will be registered by end of August at the latest.

Animal names vary at this point as a few are owned by other family members. However have started a theme using native American words, so hoping to stick to that. Right now I have:

Izzy (came with name),
Sweet Sakura: Japanese Cycle of life. Owned by another family member.
Hakuna-Matata: from Lion King, meaning: No worries for the rest of your days. Owned by another family member.
Cheekahla Kinta: Little Deer Lokota
Koko Mapiya: Night(Blackfoot) Sky(Sioux) Known as Peanut at the barn. Peanut was her given name from previous owner.
Loco Loki: Crazy(Spanish) Loki(Norse god of mischief) My son named.
Crazy Enapay Viho: Crazy Brave(Sioux) Chief(Cheyenne) Known as Gus Muss at the barn. Gus was his given name from previous owner.
One Royal Esha: One Royal Desire(Hindi )
Coconut Rum(English) Owned by another family member.
Venus ( came with name)
Mavis: daughter named her
Bambi: owned by another family member.

Sheep: Rhett & Scarlett. Owned by another family member.

GP: LGD's Tahoe & Yukon came with names at 7yrs old.

If we ever did register as a farm....I'd have to say we'd do Stone Plantation :) Just what I've always called our little lot of land and animals.

I'm not sure the process of actually registering. Might have to look into that. What does it take to qualify?
