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 ARMCH Castle Rock Sky Lupine 2*D's sire, and we were so pleased with her mammary system (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. 

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: MCH-PGCH 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. When his dam was a first freshener she an amazing udder for a first freshener, and having seen how well her dam's udder held up over the years, I decided to keep this guy intact.  Since then, she has continued to freshen with an incredibly high, wide udder and is such a pleasure to milk too with very nicely sized teats that have very open orifices, and I've been quite happy with my decision to keep Guy as a buck.  I am pleased with how he 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.

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 guy 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.

CRF Castle Rock Harvest Moon *S
DOB 3/28/09

Sire: Rosasharn's TL Sitka Spruce *S
(ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L ++*S x ARMCH Rosasharn's UMT Sassafrass 5*D)
Dam: CH-MCH Castle Rock Once Ina Blue Moon 2*D
(PGCH The Promises Pay It Forward x Copper Penny Misty Blue *D AR 1963)

Harvey is such an exciting addition to the herd. Since I just had his sire, Sitka, here on lease, I decided from the outset to breed him to a doe I would want my next herdsire out of. Moon was a natural pick for many reasons, and I am so happy with the results. Harvey isn't nearly as steep in the rump as he looks in this picture- he levels out very nicely on the move. He has very flat bone, nice spring of rib, and I have to say, it would be very tempting to keep him just on the basis of his personality. His dam was one leg short of being our second triple-finished champion and had nine best udder awards when we unexpectedly lost her just a few days before she was due to kid in 2010. I am really thankful to have kept this buck out of her to carry on in our herd. I am really looking forward to seeing what he adds to the herd.

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. Does left for boarding must have proof of a recent (within 60 days) negative CAE test. 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.
