*B (pending) Rustic Wood's OK Keahilani 1-5-22 A/E Casein & DNA ~AGS dual registered 

     Keahilani was a surprise addition to our herd. We were in need of fresh genes for our tiny herd and an opportunity arose to purchase this young buckling unexpectedly. He is beautifully long and has an incredibly wide chest with wrinkly, dairy skin to spare. His bloodlines are well known and based on his first kids; he has blended beautifully with our girls. His littermate sister, Ecstasy, won BJDIS by 4 months old! Ecstasy also placed 4th Sr Kid in a class of 33 at the 2022 Nationals. His dam had a total of 7 grand champion wins and 2 BJDIS awards as well as milking 3,380lbs as a first freshener, earning #5 for protein and #7 for butterfat in the 2021 Top Ten! His maternal granddam, Nevaeh, earned #1 for production and protein, #2 for butterfat in the 2021 Top Ten after her 5,100lb lactation! Some serious milk behind this guy! His sire is a son of the lovely SGCH 3*M Olentangy LSX Emerald 92 EEEE, who won her class at Nationals 2 years in a row, including a 1st place udder win. Keahilani (kay-hee-law-nee) is Hawaiian for "heaven's fire", but our children have given him the barn name of Mack.

* B (p) Kastdemur's Adhradh 2-29-24 DNA pending

    In our small herd, we have to change sires frequently, usually every two or three years. When we started considering our next sire, we wanted to try something a little different, while not straying too far from the traits we value. After some looking, we found what we wanted in the lovely Kastdemur herd! We admired J'Adore from the first photo we saw of her, especially her eschuteon height, foreudder length, and impressive first lactation. We put in a reservation and waited anxiously. J'Adore obliged us, giving us a choice of bucklings, and Adhradh caught our eye instantly. He has big expectations to meet but we are greatly pleased with him and can't wait for his first kids! Adhradh (pronounced Ira) means "admiration" or the act of admiring, and we thought it a fitting tribute to his dam.

*B (p) Irish Blessing LK Sean AI 3-20-24 A/A Casein by parentage, DNA pending

     Sean is a kid we had been trying for three years to get but everything from CVV to a cross country move had blocked until fall of 2023. Holly gave us a giant single boy, and while we had hoped for a doe, the genes of this cross are what we wanted. Sean is a snazzy buckling, being wonderfully wide and long bodied. Not many bucks can claim that both his grandmothers were Top Ten three times, each! We are hopeful he will pass his family's line of heavy milk production and longevity in structure.
