Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay +*S
DOB 2/17/3 

Sire: MCH Twin Creeks BH Bay Watch ++*S E
(Twin Creeks Brave Heart +S x MCH Piddlin Acres Tiny Bubbles *D E)
Dam: MCH-GCH Gay Mor's JJU Nonpareil 3*D 1*M
(Gay-Mor Berry's Johnny Jump-Up +*S x Gay Mor Tut's Lorna Doone 2*D AR 1570)

He's the littermate brother of Sky and Cali's sire, and we were so pleased with their mammary systems (Sky has eleven best udder awards!) that we wanted to incorporate more of those genetics into our herd.  He has several full siblings around the country, and his full sisters have very nice mammary systems, and his full brothers have been producing very nice kids as well.  I've consistently seen an improvement in dairy character and udder capacity in his daughters and was impressed by his first freshening daughter Alum Root scoring an almost ideal MSL on Linear Appraisal. He has at least three finished champion offspring on the ground, and several daughters who have earned milking legs as well. 

Rosasharn HB Mithrandir *S
DOB 4/18/06

Sire: Rosasharn TF Honey Bear*S
(Rosasharn's Tom F'U'lery *S x ARMCH Rosasharn's Buckwheat Honey 3*D E(2007 AGS Nat'l Champion!))
Dam: ARMCH/GCH Rosasharn's TL Arwen 8*D 2*M E AR1809
(ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L ++*S E x ARMCH Rosasharn's Elfin 7*D VG)

Mithrandir is quite shaggy, which isn't doing him any favors in this picture, but we figured we needed to get a picture of him up.  Maybe one day we'll be more inspired and actually clip some of our senior bucks, but since we have pretty much stopped showing bucks, there's not much incentive to go through the trouble.  In addition to copious amounts of hair, he also has flat bone, nice angularity, and dairy character with a very sweet face and some fabulous udder genetics behind him.  I am pretty happy with the general appearance of his daughters as they have good length of body, tight toes, flatness of bone, and added dairy character.

Fairlea Barnaby Rudge *S
DOB 2/17/07

Sire: Rosasharns Julius *S
(MCH OTR Magic's M Heracles x ARMCH Stonewall's Little Luli *D)
Dam: ARMCH Fairlea Gretchen 2*D E
(MCH Fairlea Diggory Venn x MCH Fairlea Heidi *D)

Barnaby is the full brother (although definitely not a litter mate of) ARMCH Fairlea Fleur 3*D E, a doe I have long admired, and comes from a line of does with well attached, capacious udders. He is long, angular, flat boned and has a good amount of dairy character and really nice spring of rib. I'd like to see his front legs a bit straighter when viewed from the side. He has gotten even friendlier over time, seemingly the first to meet me at the gate, and he'll follow me around the pasture while I'm doing chores.

CRF Castle Rock Guy Noir
DOB 2/18/07

Sire: Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay +*S
(MCH Twin Creeks BH Bay Watch ++*S E x MCH-CH Gay Mor's JJU Nonpareil 3*D)
Dam: Cloverdale YJ Blue Raven
(Promisland CP Yellowjacket x Pecan Hollow Bonnie Blue)

Guy Noir is an example of the fact that sometimes I break my own rules. His dam (a first timer) freshened last year with a lovely udder that had it all, and having seen how well her dam's udder has held up over the years, I decided to keep this guy intact.  When she freshened this year with an incredibly high, wide udder I was quite happy with my decision to keep Guy as a buck.  She is such a pleasure to milk too with very nicely sized teats that have very open orifices.  I am quite happy with how nice Guy is looking-- he's got smoothness of blending, a very wide, open escutcheon, dairy character, and tops it all off with a very sweet personality.

Update: at the 2008 AGS National Show, a trio of Guy Noir's doe kids won Best Get of Sire, and two of his daughters- Little Dipper GN Flashdance, and Sly Farms GN Catalina, have won best junior doe in show at all-breed goat shows. I'm very pleased with the general appearance and dairy character of his offspring so far this year.

CRF Castle Rock Sky Walker *S
DOB 4/13/7

Sire: Rosasharn HB Mithrandir *S
(Rosasharn TF Honey Bear*S x ARMCH/GCH Rosasharn's TL Arwen 8*D 2*M E)
Dam: ARMCH Castle Rock Sky Lupine 2*D
(Twin Creeks BW Rebel w/o a Cause *S x ARMCH/CH/PGCH Esperanza WS Sara *D'VG')

Sky Walker is currently sporting about a four inch mane along his topline, which stands up on end everywhere, except for his chine, which looks a bit weak in this picture as a result (but isn't in real life). In any event, I'm really happy with the combination of bloodlines this buck represents, and am excited about getting some of Sky's genetics spread around the herd a bit more. He looks like he is going to have more length of body than his sire, walks with lots of with between the hocks, and has super straight front legs with nice tight toes. Much like his dam and granddam, Sky Walker is very affectionate and laid back, until you grab his collar and try to set him up, at which time he reminds you why you pretty much never take bucks to shows. His first set of kids on the ground are very nice, all with improved general appearance, length of body and dairyness.

Update: Sky Walker is moving- I really like his kids, and he is very sweet and easy to work with, but my buck pasture is just too full and I have to make room. We hope you enjoy him Lisa and Ernie!

CRF Castle Rock Mr. Lincoln
DOB 2/15/8

Sire: Woodhaven Farms Latigo
(Woodhaven Farms TKO x Woodhaven Farms Shaula Parker)
Dam: TX Twin Creeks WDF Sunsprite
(MCH-CH Pecan Hollow Willy's Dance Fever *S x MCH-CH Goodwood Good Day Sunshine E)

I had offered this buck for sale, until I took another look at his pedigree  and realized that this gy has some really nice bloodlines and is not closely related to the other bucks in my buck pasture. He's very dairy and flat boned with a level top line, and a sweeter than candy personality. I wanted to add some of Latigo's genetics to the herd since he seemed to add refinement to his daughters, and I really like many aspects of Sunsprite's mammary system and would like to see those traits in more of my herd.  His first kid crop has turned out to be very nice- lots of length of body, angularity, corectness, and super, super friendly personalities.

Dragonfly Odyseuss *S
DOB 3/13/08

Sire: Rosasharn TL U'gene *S
(ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L +*S E x ARMCH Rosasharn's Uni 3*D E)
Dam: ARMCH Dragonfly Calliope *D E
(Stonewall's Apocalypse Now +*S x Fairlea Louise)

I was planning on waiting a bit to get a buck from Dragonfly Farm, but when the opportunity came to add Ody to the buck pasture, I had to take it.  He is very sharp, level and smoothly blended with a nice set of feet and legs, and good angularity.  He has a tremendous amount of milk behind him, with Uni holding the number one spot for 305 day production from 2003-2006.

We are pleased to offer the stud services of our bucks at a rate of $60 per doe bred. Boarding of does is available at $2.00 per day, and I prefer that does be brought close to when they are expected to come into heat. We do ask that your does be disease-free when they are brought for breeding, as we strive to maintain a clean and healthy farm. Any doe left here for boarding must have a collar when dropped off, or she will incure an additional $10 charge so we can purchase one for her.  No exceptions.
