Pygmy Goat Weather Vane Pricing
This Pygmy Goat Weathervane was originally created for a customer in Florida. She was building a large horse barn (16,500 square feet) so she needed an extra-large (four-foot sculpture piece) weathervane for the central cupola. She also ordered two large (three foot sculpture piece) Arrow Weathervanes for the two smaller flanking cupolas. Rather than do a more traditional horse weathervane, she opted to have us make a weathervane based on one of her favorite companion animals, a Pygmy Goat named Fern. |

As you can see, we added an optional fern motif to the weathervane as well as a collar with Fern’s name on it. We also added an optional copper bell to the goat’s collar. If you look at the close-up view of the goat’s head, you can see the custom glass eyes we used, complete with horizontal pupils.
A pygmy goat is a small domesticated breed of goat. Although they produce a very large amount of milk for their size, they are more popular as companion animals. Pygmy goats are small and stout, and have a full coat of straight, medium-length hair. Male Pygmy goats have full, long beards. Pygmy goats tend to be more robust and breed more continually throughout the year than either dairy or meat goats.
The Pygmy Goat was originally called the Cameroon Dwarf Goat and comes from Cameroon in West Africa. In the United States and elsewhere, Pygmy goats are raised mainly as companion animals although they also are popular as pets, exhibition animals, and are widely seen in petting zoos. They are used to keep land cleared or may be found in urban backyards, depending, of course, on local regulations concerning livestock ownership. We even use lifelike goat eyes to give the weathervane a more animated appearance:
