The longer I have this doe here, the more I love her. She is very sensitive, and has to try harder than those with calm personalities to be a good goat, but she really does try.  She was sold to me because she was such a beast in the show ring at her first show that her breeder put her on the sale page in disgust--but she apparently had no intention of being shown the door again, because she always behaved perfectly for us, though it took some convincing to get her to walk with her head up. It helps that she is very fond of horse cookies. She has been everything we have asked her to be--great mom, beautiful show doe, happy milker. Thanks are due to my good friend Sunni for not only letting me have this paragon, but for not being mad that she has turned around so well!

Like Party, Chiara has a little trouble reconciling herself to being a dairy goat, but we think she is more than worth the trouble. Her second freshening udder is so much better than her first that I consider her a cautionary tale about making decisions about a first freshener too hastily. Her udder is very capacious, and when full, it absolutely does not move, and the rear view is just beautiful, even when the doe is at a dead run. I know this for sure because she demonstrates it to me every day at milking time. As always, thanks Kellye, for breeding such beauties and for sending them my way!

Sire:Gladys Porter Zoo Leprechaun (Goodwood Z Ali Babba +*S x Gladys Porter Zoo Aquarius)
DOB 3/3/04
(Photo by Declan; shown dry)

Salutations was named by her breeder after the erudite spider's greeting in "Charlotte's Web", so we call her Charlotte. This is an old, old pedigree--you don't see these names in the generations of 2 and 4 very often these days. Her sire (who is also her great grandsire), Leprechaun, a son of Z Ali Babba, was still settling does just before his death at 14 years young, a tribute to longevity indeed.

Dam:Flat Rocks My Shadow (Flat Rocks Pyrite x Flat Rocks Image)
DOB 3/13/04
LA 2007 VEEV 88

A few years back, when I asked Sunni to choose for me the doe kid she would keep if she had room for just one more, Penumbra was the one. She epitomizes the best of Flat Rocks; our 2007 linear appraiser, Elizabeth Henning, agreed that she is one of our most promising young does. In addition, she has a personality almost too big for her body, and a level of creativity that rivals that of the Meg/Calliope line. She believes we should all live in interesting times, and works to make it so. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Show record: 1 x 1st, 1 x GCHJr, 1 x BOB Jr Doe

This doe is very quiet and unassuming, until it comes time to make her way to the milk stand--then watch out; she is unstoppable. Obviously a dairy goat in her soul! For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

DOB 3/19/04

For her cheerful and sunny personality, this doe is one of my favorites. She is so much fun to interact with and to milk that she ended up not getting bred for the show season in 2007, because her heats are very subtle unless she is penned near the bucks. The winter days just kept going by and I didn't want to stop milking her and move her to where she would show that she was in season--before I knew it, it was spring and she had stopped cycling. Fortunately Rio caught her on one of his clean-up visits this summer, and she kidded with beautiful buck doe twins on 12/3/07. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Show record: 2 x 1st

Sire: Piddlin Acres SC Maestro E (Piddlin Acres Shortchange x Piddlin Acres Concerto)
DOB 4/6/04

Typical electric personality from the Meg line.This doe in my favorite bright chamoisee is easily the loudest forlorn maiden during her heat cycle that I have ever heard...and like her mother before her, nothing can stop her from making her way to the buck pen, either. Well, she knows where it is, and never wanders anywhere else, so we let her have her way, but it can be hard to wait until November to get her bred!

When asked recently which living goat I would take home if I could have absolutely anyone, I chose Pacifica's dam, Nonpareil. I am so happy to have her lookalike daughter here. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Dam: Hill Country's Destiny (MCH Goodwood X-ray *S E x Mesquite Tree Acres Niabi *D)
DOB 5/8/04

I know that William did not want to sell this doe, as she was one of the last left before his final herd dispersal. I have just started to get to know her, and she is very laid back, sensible, and unassuming. It's kind of striking because she looks just like her half sister Pretzel, but could not be more different in personality! For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Dam: MCH Gay-Mor's LR Kitty's Meow 2*D E (Piddlin Acres Lies and Rumors +S x Gay-Mor's RA Kitty *D)
DOB 5/16/04

We really need to get newer pictures of this pretty doe, but she freshened in February this year and we just never got her clipped! She is milking very well, and is the first doe in our herd to have earned her star on 305-day test. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

TX Twincreeks Trace of Silver
Sire: Twin Creeks BW Spinnaker *S (MCH Twin Creeks BH Bay Watch ++*S E x MCH Little Rascals Black Dahlia 2*D E)
Dam: Twin Creeks WB Go For Gold ( MCH Goodwood Weisbaden +S E x MCH Twin Creeks BH Mariri's Zinnia 4*D E)
DOB 4/21/05
extended pedigree

This sweet, pretty doe with the star-studded pedigree made her way to me by a circuitous route, but I am very happy she did. She had a beautiful first udder, capacious and well attached, with terrific milkable teats. We are looking forward to her second freshening here this spring.

Dragonfly DR Harlequin
Sire: Flat Rocks Diamond Rio (Flat Rocks Gem x Flat Rocks Holy Terror)
Dam: Flat Rocks Salutations (Gladys Porter Zoo Leprechaun x Flat Rocks Celebration)
DOB 6/1/05
extended pedigree

(Photo by Dennis Whitlock.) Harley is a nice little polled doe of pure Flat Rocks breeding, who is apparently the spitting image of her granddam, Holy Terror. She is not supposed to even be here, because both of her parents are polled--obviously a big oops on my part, but she turns out to be perfectly normal. So we seem to have dodged a bullet, and you will certainly not see a pedigree like this one every day. I usually refer to Harley, who stands 17 1/2 " tall, as my toy goat--she is really very correct, just very tiny. I love her udder, though I have to admit it is not very gravitationally challenged. Bred to Hunk, delivered buck/doe twins 4/29/08. For more pictures and information, click here to go to her page.

Dragonfly G Deirdre 
Sire: MCH Twin Creeks BW Giacomo Puccini *S E (MCH Twin Creeks BH Bay Watch +*S E x MCH-CH Twin Creeks WB Madam Butterfly 2*D 'VG')
Dam: Twin Creeks WB Summer Blonde (MCH Goodwood Weisbaden +S E x MCH/PGCH Twin Creeks Midsummernitedream 2*D E)
DOB 6/2/05
extended pedigree

Deirdre was originally sold but we decided to retain her after all, because we sold her dam. She is pure Twin Creeks breeding, closely linebred on Twink's Pixie and Weisbaden, and is an improvement over her dam, Summer Blonde, in the area of feet and legs, teats, and medial suspensory ligament, while retaining Summer's nice qualities in other areas, including her sweet and quiet personality--all of which reflects well on her sire Giacomo. A powerful little doe, she still receives lots of positive comments from judges on her sharpness and dairy character, which are more evident to the hands than to the eye. Placed a respectable 3rd in her class at the 2007 AGS National Show. Bred to Halifax; delivered twin does on 5/16/08. For more pictures and information, click here to go to her page.
