Irish Blessing RK Seadna Mor 3-30-24 DNA pending, Casein pending

     Seadna is the long awaited, and final Fable daughter we were blessed with this year; and boy was she worth the wait! Long, tall, wide, and elegant. We particularly love her extension of brisket, but would like to see more rear leg angulation. She is everything we had hoped when repeating this breeding and we can't wait to watch her mature! Despite being a quad, she has ruled the doe pen this year with her growth. Thank you, Fable, for this treasure! Seadna Mor is pronounced “shay-na-more” and is a style of Irish of poetry. Her littermate brother, Scealai, is on the buck page.

     Show Record: 2x 1st, 1x 2nd

     Seadna may be bred this fall. If she is, she will be bred to Adhradh and the 1st doe kid will be retained. All additional kids will be available, bucklings as wethers only.

Irish Blessing LL Saoirse 4-01-24 DNA pending, A/A Casein

     Saoirse is the class clown so to speak. She’s constantly doing goofy things like latching onto your clothing while you walk so she can drag behind you, kind of like a furry caboose. We love her rear legs, square stance, and beautiful Linden style head. We would like to see a more level rump slope, but this is common in Linden's offspring and usually corrects with age. Saoirse wasn’t a planned keeper but we are glad that she’s staying with us for the time being and look forward to watching her grow. Saoirse is pronounced “sear-sha” and means “liberty.”

     Show Record: 2x 2nd, 1x 3rd

     Saoirse may be bred this fall. If she is, she will be bred to Sean. All kids will be available, bucklings as wethers only. Any kids would be A/A casein.

Irish Blessing LL Sibin 3-30-24 DNA pending, A/A Casein

     It was completely unexpected for our yearling, Rioghnach, to freshen with triplets; and being only 4.2lbs at birth, this little girl seemed more of an afterthought. But her tiny birth size hadn’t stopped her from being the boss of all the doe babies this year. She is spicy! Sibin has grown the most rapidly of all our kids this year and she just oozes with style. Long, flashy, gorgeous rear legs, and an escutcheon arch just like her mother. We would prefer her toes track more forward facing while on the move. She is A/A casein by parentage. Sibin is pronounced “she-bean” and means bootleg/homemade whiskey.

     Show Record: 1x 1st, 2x 2nd

     Sibin will likely remain dry for 2025.

Irish Blessing RN Somhairlin AI 4-20-24 DNA typed & A/E Casein

     “Frisky” is our very first AI doe kid! Originally we had planned to breed Fable to Nile. Fable turned out to not be an AI candidate, so we tried her daughter, Niamh. Niamh settled but lost her first Nile babies around 40 days. With our last straw, we tried one more time and the result was our single miracle girl! She is just lovely and we are excited to watch her grow. Frisky is long, growthy, and has incredible width of rear leg and escutcheon. We'd like to level her rump slope out a little more. Frisky’s registered name is pronounced “sow-ver-lean” and is the Irish form of Samantha.

     Show Record: 1x 2nd

     Frisky will be dry for 2025.
