I have
always particularly liked this doe's dam, Treasure,
who was RGCH on 5 occasions, and twice GCH. Sadly Treasure was lost
to cancer recently. Andi is an absolute love, and a beauty as well.
With that mark on her muzzle, she looks like she belongs in a "Got
milk?" ad. That's appropriate, as she is a pleasure to milk
with terrific teats.Thanks again, Kellye! For more pictures and

(Photo by Emma
Gould.) Photographed 10/9/06. I absolutely love this doe, and
I feel so lucky to have her here. Sunni, Ella's breeder, has retained
her full sister Ever After, and considers her one of her best--and
we can see why. Ella's dam is closely linebred on Surprise: she
is both a Surprise daughter and granddaughter. Ella represents
a cross of the Surprise line with a Kingwood descendant, which
has proven very successful in the past. She is very elegant and
level on the move, with great legs and feet and a sweet, cheerful
disposition to boot. Bred to Giacomo; kidded with buck/doe twins
4/9/08. Ella's udder is a carbon copy of her beautiful sister's;

She
was aptly named when she arrived, but has become more friendly.
The Wild one's littermate brother, Firecracker, is an absolutely
stunning herd sire at Agape
Oaks. Wild freshened with a single
buckling under mysterious circumstances; she claims immaculate
conception, but we have heard that one before. First freshening
udder shown below. Wild is still very petite, about 19 inches
tall, but was milking about 3 pounds per day. For more pictures

(Photo courtesy of
Nancy Salem.) Lomasi is a lovely little Raising Arizona granddaughter
by a son of the AGS 2006 National Champion Doe. I absolutely love
this little doe, and I thank Nancy Salem of Tucked Away Farm for
letting me have her. She had to have an emergency C-section to deliver
her first kidin 2006. We were unable to save the kid, so we dried
her off immediately to give her a chance to rest and mature before
breeding her again. We were able to see her really beautiful little
udder, however, and we can't wait to see it again. For more pictures

Littermate sister
to our beautiful First Flight, we were lucky to get Declare back
in June of 2007. Unfortunately she missed being bred that year,
but we are really looking forward to her second freshening this
summer. She looks a lot different than in her baby picture, above!
She is a chocolate repartida (buckskin with no face stripe) similar
to Chiaroscuro, and now could be easily be mistaken for solid chocolate.

Birgitte
has a particularly level rump on the move--a quality we have been
seeking. Along with a sweet temperment and a lot of substance,
she has one of our favorite pedigrees of the kids from 2006, including
AGS National Champions Waterlilly and Eclipse, and ANDDA Specialty
BOB winner and close Eclipse relative Heidi, as well as our favorite
old man Paco in multiple places. Bred to Rio; delivered buck/doe
twins December 2, 2007. One of our nicer first freshener udders.

Lovely
pale gold with that cute butterfly mark on her face, plus a sweet
temperment in a very stylish package. Daughter of one of my favorite
does of all time, and granddaughter of the great Zinnia. I am
really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Bred
to Rio; delivered polled
buck/doe twins on 10/1/07. Cute little first udder; we really
need a better picture of her now, but it may have to wait until
spring. For

(Photo

if that were the only change, I would be quite pleased. Bred to

A pedigree
that is just loaded, and great markings to boot.
Still a bit standoffish, but her dam got over that and we hope Electra
will, too. (Caption from her baby
picture, in this space until recently: You've heard it all before,
but this picture really does NOT do this beauty justice--she is
quite elegant and really does have a neck, honest.) See? I told
you she had a neck. Bred to Rio; delivered a single
buck 12/4/07. I just love this udder; among other things, the
teat size and placement are an improvement on her dam's,
which makes me quite pleased with Hunk. For more pictures

(Photo
by Kieran Dean.) I am so pleased that I bred one of my favorite
does to Turner Ashby--both Callisto and her brother Lancelot are
full of potential and personality both. This doe almost caused
me a major cardiac incident by winning Best Junior Doe In Show
at a small ADGA show recently..a close thing; it was nearly death
by goat show. For more photos and information, click here

(Photo
by Declan.) The second of our Turner Ashby daughters -- surprisingly
flashy but otherwise built much like her dam at this age. Not
a very happy camper in the show ring, but nonetheless correct
enough for her non-dairy temperment to be overlooked long enough
to win her junior leg. Yet another firecracker personality from
the Fairlea Louise line. For more photos and information, click
