Besotted is one of the most intelligent and sensitive animals we’ve ever met. She does more than just tug at a heartstring – slow to warm up to a person, if she chooses to open herself to you, she’s the tenderest of friends. Although Besotted has been with us less than a year, she has a special place in our hearts. A moment we’ll never forget was when we brought Besotted’s former herdmate, Atari, to our farm. Besotted recognized her voice immediately, and visited Atari daily at the fence between the main herd and isolation. Atari and Besotted remain very close, and we are grateful to Susurrare Salix Nigerian Dwarfs for providing an opportunity for this kind of continuity and familiarity. 

Personality aside, she’s one of the most structurally correct goats you’ll find. Level, long, strong feet and legs, excellent dairy character. Her rear udder height will be very nice indeed once she freshens this spring. Besotted comes from old breed foundation lines that have been preserved and carefully built upon, which resonates with us. We feel that Besotted and her offspring will play key roles in what we would like to build with our herd.
