| On this page, I've attempted to assemble pictures and pedigrees of some of the animals found in the backgrounds of our animals. I found these sorts of pages helpful when I was researching bloodlines, and will add pictures as time allows. It's always nice to put a face with a name! |
 MCH-GCH Gay-Mor's JJU Nonpareiel 3*D, 1*M 'E'DOB 03/08/00 height 22"
Sire: Gay-Mor Berry's Johnny Jump-Up +*S Nonnie is the dam of our buck, Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay *S, and we are so happy to get to incorporate her genetics in our herd. She easily earned her MCH as a young doe, and when ADGA opened up a Nigerian herd book, she went out and won her GCH as a six year old. She has beaten the big girls for Best Doe in Show three times, and between AGS and ADGA has seven best udder awards. Not only does she show well, she produces in the milk bucket, earning the top spot for one day milk test in 2003 with 6lbs. of 5.07% butterfat milk. At seven years old, she earned EEEE FS92 on ADGA's Linear Appraisal. Picture courtesy of Kellye Bussey, Twin Creeks Farm |
 ARMCH/GCH Rosasharn's TL Arwen 8*D 'E', 2*M VEEE 90DOB 05/02/02 height 20.25"
Sire: ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L +*S 'E' Arwen is the dam of our herdsire, Rosasharn's HB Mithrandir. This picture was taken of her as a five year old, and that super high, wide rear udder was one of the main reasons we added Mithrandir to our breeding program. She's a deep bodied doe with very good blending, a long elegant neck, and super straight front legs. Picture courtesy of Anne Petersen, Rosasharn Farm |
 ARMCH Rosasharn's Buckwheat Honey 3*D 'E', 3*M VEEE
91DOB 03/02/00 height 22.25"
Sire: OTR Magic's M Heracles Buckwheat Honey is the paternal granddam of Mithrandir and the maternal granddam of Honey Heart. Not only was she the 2007 AGS National Champion, but she is the daughter of the 2005 AGS National Champion doe, who herself is the daughter of a two time National Champion buck. Buckwheat Honey is a super dairy doe, with great ribbing and dairy character to spare. Picture courtesy of Anne Petersen, Rosasharn Farm |
 MCH-CH Goodwood Good Day Sunshine 'E'DOB 01/22/96 height 21"
Sire: ARMCH Goodwood Kauri Tree ++*S Sunshine was the 2006 AGS National Champion, and we feel quite fortunate to have her daughter, Twin Creeds WDF Sunsprite in our herd. Sunshine has exhibited exceptional structural long gevity, earning an ADGA Linear Appraisal score of EEEV FS90 at the age of 11. She's won Best Doe in Show twice at ADGA shows in Texas, and has a couple of best udder awards to boot. You can see how snuggly her udder is still attached in this picture of her as a nine year old with 11 freshenings under her belt. Her pedigree carries some of the oldest and well known names in nigerians, up close- I've even seen a picture of her sire in a coffe table book on goats of the world.

 Copper Penny Misty Blue *D
AR1963DOB 2/27/00 height 22" at 5+ years
Sire: Goodwood Loganberry +*S Misty is blue eyed, incredibly feminine and is, as one judge put it, "dripping with dairy character" having open ribs, very tight shoulders, smoothness of blending, strong feet and legs, and excellent capacity. She has wonderful structure and produces beautiful kids, with one of her kids earning a junior grand champion ribbon at less than three months old! Misty has a very capacious udder with wonderful texture and a strong medial suspensory ligament. I would like to see better teat shape as they are a little connical, but express easily and she produces over 4.6 lbs of 5.85% BF milk a day. She is the dam to Castle Rock Once Ina Blue Moon, who is very small, but has tremendous capacity for her size. |
 Twin Creeks PD Moneyinthebank 'VG'DOB 2/13/99 height 23" at 5+ years 1 x GCH Jr., 1 x GCH, 1 x RsGCH
Sire: PGCH/MCH Willow Creek Paydirt This guy comes from wonderful parents, and has produced a MCH/PGCH son- Ponders End MTB Wall Street, and is the grandfather of our PGCH Esperanza WS Sara. He stands on very straight legs with good toes, and his front end assembly is still very tight and smoothly blended with withers sharp enough to cut glass. He is very long with wide ribs, pliable skin, depth of barrel, and he is level from thurl to thurl. His dam's line has proven itself all over the country, and we can definitely see his stamp on his daughters. They have increased length of body, dairy character, udder capacity, and improved teat placement over their dams- they tend to be the smartest does in our herd too! Update: Banker is the sire of the 2008 AGS Reserve National Champion & Best Udder Doe, Castle Rock Rainy Day Fund currently owned by Little Dipper Farms. |
 Buttin'Heads Sharp No.2 PencilDOB 3/10/04
Sire: Sugar Creek's Sharp Shooter *S Pencil is an extremely dairy buck with some of the flattest bone I have ever felt on a nigi. He has an especially good front end assembly with good legs and exceptionally tight shoulders, a high escutcheon, and nice angularity. His maternal half sister from this spring will be the first Nigerian doeling featured at ADGA's Spotlight sale at this year's National Show. I expect this boy to be a down-size buck, who will add some elegance, lots of dairyness and good udder attachments to his daughters. |
 MCH Twin Creeks BH Bay Watch ++*S 'E'DOB 7/31/98
Sire: Twin Creeks Brave Heart +S (Storybook Domino x Piddlin Acres Shamrock)
Baywatch has produced some outstanding kids, with seven MCH offspring to date. He is the father of Montego Bay *S and Cascade, grandfather of California Poppy, and Sky Lupine, and can be found further back in the pedigrees of Sara, and Mochambo Irish.

 MCH Goodwood Weisbaden +*S 'E'DOB 12/21/97
Sire: Gay-Mor's RA Kingwood +*S (Goodwood Alamo Messenger x MCH Goodwood Tahoka 3*D) Weisy is the father of Christabelle grandfather of Annabelle. He seems to consitantly bring general correctness and lenght of body to his kids and grandkids. His is a slow developing line, but very long and level once they hit their growth spurt. He also seems to pass on a mellow and friendly attitude to his offspring, which we certainly appreciate! Picture courtesy of Kellye Bussey, Twin Creeks Farm |
