I hope whoever took Skylark is totally ashamed...and I hope she is safe somewhere waiting to be found...

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! At 6 her udder is still high and widely attached, and she is milking better than ever this year. For more photos and information, including udder shots, click here to go to her page.

Show record: 8 x 1st, 3 x GCH Sr. doe (2 ADGA legs--Ed Cavanaugh and Partricia Ricotta, SMDGA Spring shows, May, 2010), 2 x RGCH Sr. doe (received a leg for one)

2006 ANDDA All-American Milking doe 2 years to under 3 (tied with Party)

(This terrific picture by Kieran Dean.) When asked recently which living goat I would take home if I could have absolutely anyone, I chose Pacifica's dam, Nonpareil. It is obvious that this line is incredibly prepotent for the look and quality that Nonpareil represents--I think that Pacifica is very nearly the spitting image of her dam, although she is not quite as capacious. And now I am so happy to have Pacifica's lookalike daughter, Sweetwater, back--3 generations of gorgeous girls indeed.

2006 ANDDA All-American Milking doe 2 years to under 3

We really need to get body shots of this pretty doe in milk, but she freshens early each year and we just never seem to get her clipped! She milks very well, and was the first doe in our herd to have earned her star on 305-day test. For more photos and information, including udder shots, click here to go to her page.

Willow is now co-owned by and lives with my friends Addie and Joe Pepoli at Proctor Hill Farm.

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, being both a Surprise daughter and granddaughter. Ella represents a cross of the Surprise line with Kingwood, 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. Ella's udder is a carbon copy of her beautiful sister's; for more photos and information, click here to go to Ella's page.

(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.

Deirdre is one of our nicest does, and as such she represents a teachable moment for me, because I did not see it at first. I just could not look past the power of this girl to see how dairy she really is; but judges consistently commend her on this quality. She also has a terrific work ethic; I have no other goat who knows exactly what she is supposed to do when she walks into a show ring, and just does. it. Our first senior doe to earn Best Doe in Show. For more pictures and information, including udder shots, click here to go to her page.

(Photo courtesy of Angie Wills, Firestone Creek Farm)I am so glad to have Chickadee back here--thanks so much Angie and Jill Bullock for making it possible! I don't have many kids from either Giacomo or Snowbird, so she is doubly valued. I am looking forward to seeing her freshen this year, and getting her in the show ring and on milk test as well.

Our February surprise! I really liked this doe as a kid, and so did the judges, but for the longest time they always liked one other kid just a little more. That's okay with us. She looks just as nice standing in the pasture as walking in the show ring. She has a naturally level topline and beautiful neck blending into her shoulders. Leprechaun's get are known for their slow developement, and as Ceili is Leprechaun in spades, we knew she was right on track. Sure enough, she has matured into a beautiful doe who I think truly deserves her excellent linear appraisal. For more pictures and information, click here to go to her page.

Show record: (as a junior doe) 3 x 1st, 6 x 2nd, 1 x GCH JrDoe, 1 x RGCH Jr Doe (ADGA)

This doe is put together so well, I just love her. Answers to JoJo (loudly). Milking this doe has taught me the fallacy of statements like "That udder is terrific, she just needs to fill up that rear a bit more." This udder is attached high and wide and looks beautiful even empty, even though it milks down to exactly nothing. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Show record: 3 x GCH and BU (2009, Jeremy Lezniak, Franklin County Fair,  2010, Bob Bartholomew, Saratoga County Fair, 2011,Bob Bartholomew, Blandford Fair), 2011 ADGA National Show, 4th in the 5 year old class and Best Udder of Breed (Lauren Acton and Meghan Treadway-Carter).

(Photo by Declan.) Danu is still a farm favorite. She is following a very deliberate developmental curve that is similar to the one her beautiful dam was on, so I am just going to wait until she gets where she is going. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

This very striking doe, almost the image of her dam plus some white overlay. This is an absolutely incredible pedigree: the best of Gay-Mor crossed with 2 of Twin Creeks' finest sons. Sweetwater was returned to us this year in time to be bred to freshen for the first time as a 3 year old. It was worth the wait; this is one of the best first udders we have ever had.

Show Record : 1 x RGCH

(Left photo courtesy of Dan and Glenys Gotthardt, Kyeema Ridge Farm) Electra freshened for the first time in December of 2007 (not by design!) and as a result, she has been kind of a sleeper here--no one saw her but us. I knew immediately, however, that she was going to be one of our strongest competitors, and her subsequent freshenings more than fulfilled my expectations.

(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 in 2007..a close thing; it was nearly death by goat show.

Show Record : 4 x 1st, 1 x GCH Jr Doe (ADGA), 1 x Best Junior Doe in Show (ADGA)

(Photos by Lorene Toth) This is one that hit the ground and said "Tah-dah!" as Kellye Bussey has been known to say. She was one of those kids that looks nice all the time running around the pasture, and one of the first into your lap if you should happen to sit down out there. The day she finally caught the judges' eyes as a junior doe, they couldn't take them off her. Not a bad pedigree, either. Declan's pick for 2006. A good case study of Hunk's ability to improve an udder. For more photos and information, click here to go to her page.

Show record: 5 x 1st, 1 x GCH Jr, 3 x BOB Jr.

One of our valued imports from Flat Rocks: an unpolled Gem daughter, which makes her incredibly precious (because she can be bred to a polled Gem son...). Galena is not the friendliest goat with the prettiest face, nor is she the prettiest color, but her udder makes up for all--according to her breeder, better than her dam's at the same age. Her nice general appearance and dairy character, plus a near perfect front end don't hurt either. For more pictures and information, click here to go to her page.

Beautiful little doe in an interesting shade of gold with darker points and her sire's patented white tail. This doe is a combination of all the different lines we have been working with in nearly equal parts. Also, she is a real pistol. For more pictures and information, click here to go to her page.
