The Girls

Lola has the prettiest little face. She is such a quiet sweet goat. We thought she was a Brown Light Belly but turns out she is a Brown Buckskin. She has heavily Frosted Ears, a Star, with some Random White and a bit of roaning on the shoulders & moonspots. Her spots are a dark brown which are impossible to see on an unclipped brown coat. She is a very dainty dairy doe.

Lola is our best on the milkstand. She is A/B for AlphaS1-Casein. We were not disappointed in score at 2021 LA. Lola was a very dainty not yet mature doe in 2021. Appraiser made sure to point that out to us before he gave us her score. Her then yearling daughter was larger than she was. Not sure where her dainty stature comes from as both her parents are dairy but robust. Lola's chest has broadened, and her body capacity increased in 2022. She is still very refined. Look forward to seeing how she improves on her score at our next LA. Lola's udder with quads in 2022 was huge! Just what she needed to push her to the next level. Her teat diameter has also increased dramatically, still nowhere near her Dam's.

2023 was just not Lola's year. Her udder was as expected on her 4th freshening, beautiful! We finally thought she would shine at LA's. But unfortunately, that was not to be...Murphy's Law...Lola had a difficult weaning of one of her boys. He was not sold prior to weaning & cried every waking hour for about 3 weeks, till he went to live with his brother. Poor Lola was distraught. Then the weather decided to get ungodly hot & humid, Heat Index over a 100 for about 9 days. Lola developed milk stones in both udders, and she started to dry up. I managed to bring her back by hand milking, but she looked pathetic. Luckily our appraiser agreed that it would not be a fair assessment of her. She did appraise her like the boys, but she did not receive a FS. Still very helpful information.

Lola did improve on her Linear & Structural scores from 2021, so we are pleased. She beat her dam in 5 of the 7 Linear Categories she was evaluated on. Lola's udder is really her strongest asset so to see her improve in other areas is just fabulous. I think she has a much nicer udder than her dam, who had a blemished udder so could only score a V in udder. Currently she has the best udder in our herd. We do have 5 junior does that freshened in 2025 & there a 2-3 that might eventually dethrone her, one is her 2024 daughter.

Lola is a late bloomer like her Paternal Sister, BREWFM KASTOR. Jacobim's girls are really nice goats, just very slow to hit their stride. They are actually just what one wants in a herd. They continually keep getting better overtime. We were hoping 2025 would finally be her LA to shine, but alas that is not to be. Lola injured her right leg on July 2nd. Our vet could not pinpoint what is actually wrong. We dried her off because getting on the milkstand was aggrevating her injury. Lola is almost healed. She has a very slight almost unnotacable limp in that leg.

2025 Linear Update... Lola was appraised again under Code 99. Honestly as I write this I am still in a bit in shock over all our results. The one standout of the day was Lola's partial appraisal. She exceeded our wildest expectations. Lola recieved an E in Front Legs, Rear Legs and Back. She recieved V's in Head, Shoulder Assembly & Feet. She recieved a Body Depth of 37. Lola only weakness is her Rump Width. Appraiser mentioned she would be an 88 if being appraised like the Bucks. Lola's stongest asset has always been her udder & that did not get appraised. Her teats are just the perfect size for hand or machine milking. She could use refinement in her ForeUdder, but otherwise she is just what we breed for in udder in our herd. That might not be what wins in the Show Ring, but it is perfect for a small working herd. Need to get her appraised in milk. She is just such a lovely goat. Lesson here is alway present all goats who can be appraised, even if they can be excused. The value the appraisal brings far out weighs any negatives. It is always helpful to get an experts opinion on your goats.

Rosa Bella is the spitting image of her 3/4 Sister, Leela! It was definately hard to choose which of Nella's three girls to retain. I would have loved to keep them all. They all have awesome temperments. We expect great things from this little one. Rosa is much more balance between Dairy & Strength than her dam. Rosa's DD was one of our last outcross doe we brought into the herd. Rosa has some very nice AGS lines from her Dam's Sire Sol. We also own Sol's Materinal sister BREWFM KASTOR. Her dam's udder is a huge improvement on her dam's. We expect Rosa to freshen with a even better udder. Can't wait to see it in 2025.

Rosa was an excellent first time mama. She raised twins with no issues. Her daughter, Tinkerbella was very tiny & weak at birth. Rosa was attentive & allowed us to milk her on the stand with no issues, awesome for a FF. This let us bottle feed her daughter for the first 36 hours. Rosa has a great temperment & is an easy keeper in the herd.

Really not sure how she will appraise. Her udder is not as nice as her dam's as a 2Y FF. She could use improvement in Fore-Udder. This is a bit odd for a Little daughter, as he usually improves in this area. Rosa has nice sized teats with large orifices. She is very easy to milk out by hand. Little's girls all do well on the milk stand. We am inclined to keep her in the herd even though I am fairly certian she will score in the low 80's at Linear Apparaisals. Rosa has good structual conformation but weaker udder traits. She however is likely to be one of our top milkers. We have several girls like her in our herd. She is a nice longterm, no fuss milkers.

Well I am getting better at analizing my goats. Rosa's Linear Appriasal is in line with what I was thinking. Rosa was awarded a FS81 (GGVG) 02-07 FF. Her udder scores were better that I thought they'd be. Rosa did inherit her dam's nice teat placement. She also recieved a V in Rump and Feet. She has weak areas that will need improvent but nothing to extreme so that is good. Overall Rosa is right were I thought she would be. I expect her to score in mid 80's as a 2F four year old as we will not be freshening her again till 2027.

Spring 2026 Update, Rosa is still in MILK! She freshened on 4/11/2025. Awesome for Rosa not so good for Tinkerbella her 2025 kid who is still nursing. It is just not a dribble of milk either. Tinkerbella will be forceably weaned by May. I will get Rosa back up on the stand and see what she is producing. Based on how full her udder is still getting I might just try to see how long we can keep her going. She has been on a dry doe grain ration for the last 6 months. This is usually enough in our herd to get the does to wean their kids and dry off. She however was not bred for 2026 kids. I suspect this is way she did not dry off. Rosa has been on & off and on & off my sell list. She is now officially off the list. Afterall we are breeding dairy goats, and any goat that can Milk Through as earned a place in the herd. She did not get this from her dam's line, this is her Sire, Little. His girls can MILK. Little has been retired, but I currently have 61 straws in our tank.

Selene has amazing coloring and is just so flashy! The white overlay runs on her dam & sire's sides, we were hoping for this result. The icing on the cake is she also has Chocolate Moonspot starting to show themselves on the black portions of her coat. Right now, this little one is all legs, but she also has a very nice top line. Not expecting her to be on the Big Girl side. She will likely be a smaller doe when mature like her dam. Selene did break her Left Rear leg at 20 days old but has made a full recovery. We cannot wait to see her udder.

She is a fourth generation Goldie Girl. She is the culmination of 8 years of breeding Promisedland Lines. Her dam is very petite & dairy breeding doe. We have owned her Dam, DD, DS, DDD, DSD & DDDD. She has seven consecutive Mother to Daughter LA Scores. Her sire is our newest Top & Bottom bred Promisedland Diva buck, Rapha. Selene also has a low Kintraks 10 generation inbreeding coefficient of 1.912%. For those of you who study these, you know this is low. Looking forward to crossing her back to our own Brewfm Rumpelstiltskin, which will give their kids 4 crosses to Promisedland MG Beau.

Selene did really well at our 2025 Linear Appraisal. She earned a FS83 (GGGG) @ 01-07 FF. This is way better than I thought she would score. Her Udder Depth & Rear Udder Height scores are all very nice at 39 & 37. Selene's teat placement is also very nice at 23. She could use improvement in Fore-Udder Attachment & Medial. These two traits can and will likely improve on Selene over her next few lactations & with time on the stand. Structurally she scored G's & A's. Remember, she is a very dairy young doe. G's & A's are expected given her maturity. Selene scored a 22 in Body Depth @ 01-07 whereas her dam, Moon, scored a 32 BD at 03-03. Moon received a FS82 (GVVG) @ 03-03 with a Soft Code 54 (Unbalanced Udder, "Single Kid Syndrome"). Moon earned a V in Back and G's in all other structural categories. Moon's udder did not pop until her 3rd Freshening at four. Selene will appraise much better by her 3rd Freshening at 3 years old. We are willing to wait. As they say, Rome was not built in a day.

Selene's udder on her second freshening at two years old is just what we were hoping for! Honestly it is way better than we had hoped for. Her medial is staring to deepen and her teats are starting to center a bit which is awesome. She has really nice rear attachment and her foreudder looks much better in her second freshening. Selene is starting to fill in nicely. Her body depth is increasing with out loosing her dainty dairy character. Looking forward to 2027 Linear Appraisals. It wil be very interesting to see how she does. Selene's first daughter will also freshen in 2027.

Stella glides around the doe yard like she is a Prima Ballerina. She is just so elegant. Stella is the result of a researched LA breeding. Her dam Nella is a very nice angular dairy doe. Her sire Rumpel, is our bulldog dairy boy. As we hoped Stella has her dam's dairy elegance coupled with her sire's body depth & strength. Her chest at 10 weeks is wider than her yearling sister's! In 2021 we bred Stella's DD to Rumpel's brother with really nice results, we unfortunately did not retain a doe. Really looking forward to watching this one mature.

Our 2025 Linear Appraisal breakout doe was Stella. She exceeded our wildest expectations. Nigerian breeders have learned to be realistic when it comes to thier Yearling First Freshners, upper 70's for a Final Score is likely what one sees. Well, Stella had other ideas. She was awared a FS84 (VGVG) @ 01-07. She also earned a E in Shoulder Assembly. V's in Head, Front & Rear Legs. Our Appraiser just could not believe how deep she was in Body Depth, 37 as a Yearling. Stella does have lots of room for improvemnets. Her udder will need fine tuning. She could use improvement in Rear Udder Height & Rear Udder Arch. Stella's two year old FF maternal sister earned a V in Rump, fairly certian we will see Stella improve with age in this category.

Stella's Second Freshening udder is really very nice. She has lots of capacity and nice udder height. She could a bit of refinement in foreudder, but she has improved since her first freshening. Her medial is also coming in nicely. She also has really nice attachment. Looking forward to getting her on the stand as we suspect she is producing a ton of milk this year. She is a Goldie granddaughter. In our herd they all have nice body capacity & excel on the stand. Really hoping we get a Linear Appraisal slot in 2027. Stella has a very nice balance between strength and dairy refinement. She will be shown later this summer to get her some experince in the ring, but she likely will be a bit too nervous to expect much this year. We don't expect her to be competitive till she is a 3 year old Third Freshner.

Sprinkles is a classic buckskin. She has her slight roaning on the shoulders and neck & even has the same white chest/throat patch her Dam & Dam's Sire have. It is very likely she has dark brown moonspots. We will find out when she gets her first clip. Both her dam & sire have dark brown spots that are only seen on a clipped coat. Lola is a very refined dairy doe who's udder just keeps getting better with every lactation. We hope Sprinkles will have a bit more depth & strength from her sire. On her maternal side she has four generations of LA Appraisals, minus just one goat, Twin Creeks Rebel w/o A Cause ++* B *S.

She is the result very analyzed (obsessed) LA Score pairing. We have been hit or miss with using her sire, Tonic, in the past. He is a very nice buck! With his LA Appraisal in 2023, we have been able pick the does in our herd that should create the best results. Sprinkles & her paternal siblings in 2024 are some of the best of Tonic's kids to date. Really looking forward to watching them mature. Sprinkles got herself stuck in a hay feeder and broke her right upper leg & wrenched her shoulder at 6 weeks old. Latched lids on the feeders don't always keep them out. She recieved medical attention immediately. She will never make it to the show ring as the break healed slightly displaced. Her right leg is bit askew. It does not seem to bother her at all. Hoping it will not affect her Linear Appraisal too much in 2025. A trained eye will see it immediately.

Sprinkles held her own at 2025 Linear Appriasals. She will be like her dam, a late bloomer. Her dam, Lola was first evaluated as a 2 year old 2nd Freshner. Compairing their scores is not straight forward as Lola's 2021 appraisal was before the eliminating score adjustments for young goats. I feel Lola's scores are slightly inflated as she scored higher than Sprinkles in most categories. Lola was a very immature 2 year old. Her yearling daughter was larger than she was. Sprinkles is much more mature as yearling than Lola was at two. Sprinkles however has not had much time on the stand so her udder socres will reflect that. Sprinkles does score much higher in Udder Depth, than Lola did at 2. Overall I think they are about in the same place. We will just have to wait and see how she matures.

Sarsaparilla is a roan Chamoisee Swiss combination. She looks Gold but if you look closely you will see her Combo markings. When still wet after being born she looked just like her siblings but in a gold shades. Her siblings were both dark tan Chamoisee/Swiss Roans with white instead of black points. Sassy also has beautiful pale blue eyes, suspect she might be homoginous for Blue Eyes. She was the smallest of the litter but the most adventurous hanging with mom on day 2 outside. She has very elegant look with a nice top line & long body & Legs. Her rear stance is naturally very wide. Looking forward to seeing this Little girl mature.

Sassy was one of our nicest yearlings to date. Sassy is out of our Mockingbird line & our only one in the herd at the moment. I seem to sell most of my Mockingbird line does as they are easy to sell since they are so nice. It is one of our more show oriented lines that appraises very well. Sassy's mammery is an improvement on her dam and she has such a nice general appearance. As a Two Year Old her only real area to improve on is her Front Legs. She is a very nice doe, only time will tell if she develops the Body Depth her dam has. Sassy looks more like her Dam's Dam, Mockingbird, but with much improved udder.

As a Two-Year Old first frenshner, Sassy has been a nice surprise. Her udder is just what we were hoping to achieve & we are very excited about her future. She has improved fore-udder & udder attachment over her dam. Her medial will start to pop once we get her on the stand. We have not had her on the stand yet but not overlly worried about that. She is a Little daughter and they all milk well. Little has given us the milkest daughter's for the last eight years. Really ironic, because on paper he does't look like he'd be a milkly sire. Sassy's paternal sister, Rosa Bella, has milked on through this year. She is over 365 days fresh and still going. Little does have an Elite paternal sister.

Very excited to possibly get her appraised in 2027 as a 2nd fresh three year old. We think she will do mid to upper 80's for a Final Score. We might even try to get her in the show ring this year for experience. As a FF Two year old, she likely will not have the udder development to compete against does who were FF as yearlings.

Tinkerbella is our second daughter out of our buck Rumpelstilskin. We are loving his girls! Not sure when we will be letting any of them go anytime soon. Tinker is just soo sweet but is definatley bossing her bigger brother around and keeping her dam very busy. Tinker's 3/4 sister, Stella Bella, was appraised as a Yearling First Freshener. Stella earned a FS84 (VGVG), this is awesome for a yearling. Stella also recieved an Excellent in E Shoulder Assembly & Very Good in Head, Front Legs and Rear Legs. Tinkerbella is following the same trajectory as Stella, so really expecting she will do quite well in the future. Tinker's dam seems to be milkier than her sister Stella so expecting Tinkerbella to best Stella on the stand in the future.

Yearling Update: Tinker had been quite the chubby little youngster. As a yearling she has just blossomed. She has shed that baby weight and is looking really nice. She is almost a carbon copy of her Sire's Dam, Goldfinch. Looking forward to getting her in the show ring later this summer. Would love to get some feedback from the judges on her strengths & areas for improvement. Excited to see her freshen in 2027. Can't wait to see what her udder is going to look like. We are loving her 3/4 sister's 2F udder!

Trixie is one of our more vocal youngsters. She is also very friendly. She has quite a few moonspots throughout her Chamoise coat. They really are apparent when she is clipped. Trixie is a nicely balanced youngster. She is not as leggy or long as her littermate sister, Tonks, but her Rear Udder Arch is much nicer. Have a feeling in the long run she will be nicer confirmationally than her sister Tonks.

Yearling Update: We gave Trix a clip in June and really liking how she is looking. She will definantely be going to some shows later this summer after she learns to lead properly. She did get her dam's stubborn streak. Extremely excited to see her udder in 2027. Our Rapha girls really are very nice!!!

Junior Doe Thursday is beautiful! Lots of nice lines on this little one and she has color to boot. Her dam, Stella, is Rumpelstilskin's first daughter to freshen & we are delighted. Thurdsay is the result of a long awaited pairing, a Rumpel Daughter x Rapha. Only time will tell, but right now we are loving the results. We might have Rapha Daughter x Rumpel cross in Late July, can't wait to see.

Junior Doe Tissaia is just wonderful. Couldn't have dreamed of a sweeter little goat. Her dam, Sapphire, produced a mini me. Love it when does do that.

Our Rapha is an excellent match for Sapphire. Sapphire has a nice topline and wide rear stance. Sapphire's dam, Laia, was my most consistant producer for years. Her sire scored a 45 in Body Depth and has E's in Head, Back & Rump. Hoping to see a bit more Brisket and improvement in Shoulder from this match. We think Rapha will score well in Structural Categories at Linear Appraisal in October.

Sapphire did not disappoint! All three of her kids are super friendly. The kids have not yet unfolded so can't quite comment on their conformation at 2 days old, but they are looking like Rapha kids. Sapphires udder is just really nice for a First Freshner. Her teats are a bit to close to her legs at the moment, but that will change as her medial deepens and her udder edema dissipates. She is really easy to hand milk. She has nice teat width & large orifices. Her teats should lenghten a bit over her next few lactations. Really excited to see what her udder will look like on 2nd & 3rd Freshening.

Junior Doe Tatiana is our first linebred doe on E K Farms Goldfinch, our founding doe. Really excited about Tatiana, as Rumpel & Selene seem to be well matched. Selene is one of our first Rapha girls. Selene's dam's udder on her 3rd freshening was really nice. Selene's 2F udder is looking great.

We were hoping to see a bit more Strength and improvement in Head in in Tatiana and I think we have achieved that. It is very exciting as a breeder when you see the results you were hoping for. We will have to search for a nice AI buck to compliment Tatiana as I do not have a buck onsite that I can breed her to.

For those who love & breed Promisedland & Sugar Moon Lines Tatiana has it! Five crosses to PROMISEDLAND MG BEAU who is ranked 2nd in PTI21. She has 2 crosses to PROMISEDLAND MG DIVA who is ranked 1st in PTI21. Three crosses to BOPEEP and Two crosses to ECHO2 & SENORITA. Tatiana has a Kintraks COI of 4.021%. This is really low for linebred kids.
