THE SMILING GOAT!
In loving memory...
June 2019 we tragically lost our beloved Zephyr.
June 2019 we tragically lost our beloved Zephyr. It was a terrible shock. After 2 1/2 years of showing our goats, and never having any goats get sick our herd was infected at a spring show along with almost all the other herds. Our milkers were those affected. Some affected more than others. Zephyr never got the illness but sadly the virus (that is what it was thought to be) circled around a second time and Zephyr was hit hard overnight. We did all we could but we were not able to save her. We exhausted all means of finding out what the illness was. The virus affected goats over 3 shows and herds from 7 states and at +/- 500 animals. Needless to say the devastation is felt among all of us here. She truly was our smiling goat! Our future with showing is still being assessed. We take every precaution but there is always risk, sadly.
Zephyr will be forever missed.
She is still present in our herd through her offspring!
We see her influence and even her smile through her kids!

One of our favorite pictures- Asking the Judge for a kiss!
Zephyr was one of our favorites, always smiling, hugging, and giving kisses. A true JOY!
When she was naughty and was scolded she would squint her eyes and stick up her nose as if to say, "I can't hear you- I'm pouting right now!" She sure was a special girl.
We adored Zephyr.
Zephyr has very strong solid genetics behind her. Typical of a Lamancha, she was sweet, loving and filled with personality. We bred Zeph for minis her first freshening, standards for her 2nd. Her 3rd Freshening produced Buck/Doe twins. Zephyr just got better with age. She was a solid more compact doe. A beautiful deep bodied doe. Excellent hand milking teats with fantastic orifices and proper delineation. Although her teats were on the larger side her mammary system beautiful. This was a lovely doe in every way!

Star was a very special doe! We first saw Star when we went to purchase her mini buckling Henry. We took Henry home and months later got a call and asked if we would like her. We jumped at the prospect! Star was so sweet. Everyone loved her! Calm, affectionate and just an all around joy. She had a wonderful triplet kidding the following year and we were so excited to be able to retain kids from her 2nd litter. Sadly that never happened. She was killed in an accident involving another goat. Our first real loss on our farm it was devastating. It would be years before we could even mention her name without breaking down. Star will always have a special place in our hearts here. We are grateful that her mini buck son produced offspring for us and her daughter Princess, although she went to another farm, her daughter is here and part of our mini program!
Star's buckling mini son Henry is no longer with us but his offspring are.

The Silly Millie ~
ADGA- NOA GRADE LAMANCHA

Incredible cream!
Millie was a strong, hardy dairy goat. As homestead goat- we decided to apply for NOA status (Native On Appearance) with ADGA so her offspring could be registered. She was a great producer that has excellent duration of lactation, kept her condition throughout her lactation quite easily. Producing very sweet creamy milk. She has passed her hardiness and excellent production to her offspring. She was very parasite resistant, great with foraging, and had great feed conversion. She passes her hardiness to her offspring. Millie needed no pampering. Truly an amazing goat. Millie's milk was sweet and very creamy! A favorite here! Millie has passed on now, however her Recorded Grade offspring have been amazing and is our favorite developing line. My first Lamancha, so she holds a special place in my heart. She wasn't much to look at but had all the other goods. Very grateful for those breeders that encouraged us to breed up. It truly is an amazing story. Her descendants have ben absolutely amazing!
Millie is survived by the following which have been retained for our program.
daughters- SGCH Tiffany 1*M (2016) and Maple (2020) and Mini Mancha VCH Trouble
granddaughters- Mousse (2018), Adalynn & Amirah (2019), Dreamy (2020 Mini)
