* B (p) Kastdemur's Adhradh 2-29-24 DNA typed & A/F Casein ~AGS dual registered
In our small herd, we frequently change sires, usually every two or three years. When considering our next sire, we wanted to try something different while maintaining the traits we value. We found what we wanted in the lovely Kastdemur herd! We admired J'Adore from the first photo, especially her escutcheon height, foreudder length, and impressive first lactation. We made a reservation and waited anxiously. J'Adore gave us a choice of bucklings, and Adhradh caught our eye. He has big expectations, but we are pleased with him so far! Adhradh means 'admiration', and we thought it a fitting tribute to his dam.

*B (p) Irish Blessing LK Sean AI 3-20-24 DNA typed & A/A Casein ~AGS dual registered
Sean is a kid we'd been trying to get for three years, but everything from CVV to a cross-country move had blocked until fall 2023. Holly gave us a giant single boy, and while we'd hoped for a doe, the genes of this cross are what we wanted. Few bucks can claim that both their grandmothers were Top Ten three times each. We hope he'll pass on his family's line of heavy milk production and longevity in structure. Sean himself is very long-boned, tall, dairy, with excellent spacing between his ribs. He has the best personality: gentle, quiet, and a real "go with the flow" kinda guy. This really was a lovely cross.
Sean is staying with us for the time being but he may be available in the future for the right home.
