Stars Alight Sweet Emotion *B
DOB 11/23/2020 *DNA* LA 2022 (1-07) V+V 85 Sire: Springwater AL Sweet Potato Pi *B (2019 ADGA Junior Herdsire) (SG Sugar Moon NS Alejandro +*B x SGCH DB&R Easy as Pie 3*M) Dam: Oak Apple Lily Pons 2*M EEEV 90 (Proctor Hill Farm TO Go Daddy +B x Pidlin Acres BZ Whata Diva 1*M) Sweet Emotion, AKA Moshi, represents a genetic opportunity that we will not have again. His sire, the promising young Springwater AL Sweet Potato Pi *B, was lost to a predator shortly after Moshi was conceived. Moshi's dam Lily is a gorgeous doe who excels in general appearance and dairy strength, has excellent capacity, and has a lovely flat, wide rump. We do not let many bucks remain intact here (in fact, Moshi is the first!) but his lineage was impressive enough that we decided to wait and see how he matures. We are happy with what we are seeing so far. Moshi will not be used extensively until we have seen his littermate sisters freshen, but his half sisters in other herds are beginning to freshen and all look very promising! |

Owlhaven MH Casting Crowns *B
DOB 4/6/2017 *DNA* LA 2021 (4-03) +VE 86 Sold 2021- Crown now resides at Motley Crew Ranch Sire: SG Algedi Farm MB Manuka Honey ++*B VVE88 (Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay ++*B x SGCH Rosasharn's UMT Tupelo Honey 4*M EEEE91) Dam: SG Proctor Hill Farm Pistol Annie 2*M EEEV90 (SG Sugar Creek's SS Sharp Shooter +B x SGCH Spring Fever Callista 1*M VEEE90) Despite an overabundance of bucks here on the farm, I couldn't resist adding Crown to the herd. Both parents come from a long line of successful and beautiful dairy goats, with Superior Genetics designations abundant in his pedigree. His legendary sire, Manuka Honey, has produced many exceptional daughters. Crown's dam is an exceptional doe as well, and is a half-sibling to the 2012 ADGA reserve national champion. His littermate sister, Owlhaven MH Sugarland, is the dam of our lovely junior doe, Owlhaven SW Always and Forever. |

Castle Rock Romancer +*B
DOB 3/16/2015 *DNA* Blue Eyes LA 2016 (1-02) VEE 87 Retired 2019- Carpal hyperextension Sire: Castle Rock Moon Raker ++*B (SG Castle Rock Cleveland Sage +*B x CH CRF Moon River 3*D) Dam: GCH CRF Castle Rock Roxanne 1*M *D VEEE 91 (CRF Castle Rock Guy Noir +B+S x SG Castle Rock Annabelle) I've never been as excited to add a buck to my herd as I was when I was offered the chance to buy Romancer. His dam, Castle Rock Roxanne, is legendary, with 23 Best of Breed wins and 16 Best Udder wins. Needless to say, Roxanne has a gorgeous, high, wide, and well-attached udder, as well as a lovely overall general appearance. Romancer's littermate sister, CH Castle Rock Rochelle, is a beautiful doe, with an udder much like their mother's. I'm hopeful that Romancer will pass those awesome udder genetics on to his kids! |

De Novo Cairo
DOB 4/12/2020 Blue Eyes Moonspots Euthanized 2022 due to severe carpal hyperextension Sire: Cedar View Placido *B (Little Tots Estate Clouddancing +*B x SGCH Cedar View Isabella 4*M ELITE) Dam: De Novo Cliona (Cedar View Quaid *B x SG Pholia Farm Chamomile 7*M) Cairo has lots of flash, with both blue eyes and moonspots, but he's more than just a pretty face! He has lots of greatness in his pedigree- both sides are highly decorated with SG, SGCH, and *B/+B, designations, and lots of milk stars. His sire Placido is a son of the beautiful Elite doe, SGCH Cedar View Isabella 4*M (EEEE 91 @ 04-01). Placido's sire, Little Tots Estate Clouddancing +*B, is son of AGS Kae Bar Te Cad Coupe, who has earned not one but two +B's, and SGCH AGS Sm3pines Juren's Sugar Glider 2*M, who earned a final appraisal score of VEEE 90 as an 11 year old (!!!) Clouddancing also makes an appearance in Cairo's dam's side of the pedigree. Cairo's dam Cliona is sired by Cedar View Quaid *B, son of Clouddancing and the lovely SGCH Cedar View Fortunata 3*M. Cliona's dam Pholia Farm RD Chamomile also has her SG designation, along with an impressive 7*M. Chamomile is a daughter of Elite buck Sugar Moon Rocky Dolby +*B. |

Adobe Acres Blue Moon Rising
DOB 4/8/2014 Blue eyes Sold 2020 Sire: Copper Penny STAMP Hot Stuff (AGS Caesar's Villa LV Stampede x Copper Penny WOW One Hot Moma) Dam: Adobe Acres WOW Georgia Brown (Alethia Wowie Kazowie x CH Algedi Farm MH Aria) Moon has all the flash- striking blue eyes and loud moonspots, although you usually can't see them under his massively long coat. His maternal grandmother, Aria, is a Manuka Honey daughter, and a finished champion with a final score of VEEV90. So far, Moon's kids have had good general appearance and dairy character. |

Dog Island Artax *B
DOB 3/30/2018 Retired 2019- Teat spur Sire: Dog Island Irish Car Bomb *B (SG Castle Rock Cleveland Sage +*B x Dog Island Kahlua N Cream 1*M) Dam: SG Castle Rock Lady Rainicorn 5*M (CRF Castle Rock Harvest Moon ++*B x SGCH Algedi Farm H Purple Rain 4*M) Artax's pedigree needs no explanation. He has a great number of accomplished animals and beautiful udders behind him, and I was so excited to have the chance to add him to my herd. Artax is long and angular, with an even topline and lots of width between the hocks. He's also super sweet, and would love nothing more than to follow me around all day, which is getting to be a less appealing notion now that he's discovered what his job is and has started to adorn himself accordingly. Artax's first kids are on the ground, and they're every bit as elegant as their sire, with long level toplines and lots of dairy character. |

8Gables MR Cortado Laredo
DOB 1/18/2017 Blue eyes Sire: Castle Rock Moon Rock *B (Castle Rock Chicago Peace *B x SGCH Castle Rock Moon Beam 1*M) Dam: The DJ's Kids Breve (Lost Valley ML Red Strokes x Honey Goat China Aster) Laredo is a beautiful buck. I'm a sucker for long, level toplines, and Laredo has just that. He's got nice width of barrel and good, upright feet. Not to mention those beautiful blue eyes! He's also a sweetheart, and got along great with both the mature buck and the 2-month-old buckling I housed him with. I only got to use him on one doe for 2018 kids, but the two doelings resulting from that breeding were incredibly long, and inherited their sire's excellent topline. |
