Until ADGA gets their severely backlogged performance programs updated, all show awards, milking stars, and appraisal scores are "pending." Actual milk records can be viewed on the CDCB website, and upon request, we can provide copies of our 2023 appraisal scores, verification tests, and any show awards in the future. This also applies to the 2022 DNA results still waiting for upload. We understand how frustrating this is for everyone, please do not hesitate in contacting us if you have any questions. We do not currently participate in many AGS programs, though that may change in the future.
GCH (p) 5*M (p) Lucky*Star's RD Fable 3-20-2015 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered *D with AGS RETIRED
Fable is our powerhouse doe. Large and deep bodied, she's an eye-catcher for her outstanding general appearance and solid productivity. She is nearly ideal to what we desire in a dairy goat and the only things we’d like to change on her are lengthening her teats a tiny bit and adding more angulation to her rear legs. As of summer 2021, she earned the last two legs for her championship! Way to go Fable! Also in 2021, Fable met the ADGA point requirements to earn her milking star. The icing on the performance cake was her appraisal score summer 2023! Fable has nothing more to prove to us and has earned her retirement. She will milk her 2024 lactation until she indicates she's ready to stop milking. After that, she will just be a spoiled, sassy goat for the remainder of her days. Well done, old lady!

5*M (p) Lucky*Star's ME Holly Hunter 2-10-2016 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered *D with AGS
Holly is our mischievous “pocket” goat. She is very personable and always looking for something she can open or get into. She has a beautiful head which only seems to emphasize her elfishness. Holly is a smaller doe who did not fully mature into the glamour her famous family is known for. Despite this, she is wide and broad chested with a long, wide rump and loads of dairy strength. But her best feature is her mammary. Her snug fore udder accentuated by her butter soft udder texture and heavy production. We would like to see a more smoothly blended neck and a more level rump slope. In her lactation for 2021, Holly met the ADGA points requirements to earn her milking star.
Show Record: 3x 2nd, 2x 3rd
DHIR Lactations:
2021 ~ 322 DIM 3,588lbs. 3.4%BF 3.2%P.

6*M (p) Irish Blessing LL Naoise 3-25-21 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered
Naoise is an elegant and growthy sundgau doe. We are very pleased with her and very hopeful for her future development. Naoise (pronounced nee-sha) means "warrior." She has a very wide rump, especially over the thurls and the best shoulder assembly in the herd! As a freshened doe, we love her udder texture, medial suspensory ligament, and width of udder arch. We also appreciate her added overall length as an improvement over her dam. We'd like to see a bit more depth of rear rib and more foreudder extension at this time. Naoise was DNA typed in 2022 and emailed proof of completion is in our possession, but has not been uploaded into ADGA's NG program. We have no estimate for the timeline and until it is, her offspring will not show full parent verification.
Show Record:
4x 1st, 2x 2nd, 1x 3rd, 2x JrCH, 1x SrGCH
DHIR Lactations:
2023 ~ 303 DIM 1,887lbs 4.4%BF 3.5%P.
2024 ~ In Progress!
LA: 2-03 87 EVVG (E in shoulders, rump, & back)
Naoise was bred AI to +*B Rockin-CB RY Zoren (see Reference Page) and kidded with triplet buck kids. They are beautiful and one of them is available. These kids are half brothers to the 2021 National Champion!
Naoise will be bred to Scealai this fall. 1st doe kid may be retained. Additional does and any bucks will be available. Kids will be A/A casein.
6*M (p) Irish Blessing LL Niamh 4-28-21 A/A Casein & DNA typed ~AGS dual registered
Truly a blessing for 2021, Fable kidded with triplet does and this little one was quickly claimed by our children as the favorite, cementing her place on our farm. Niamh (pronounced neev) means radiance and we feel it suits her. "Wide" is the best description for Niamh's structure. She is very wide in her chest, rump, and space between her rear legs. She also boasts lovely breed character. As a milker, we love her udder texture, snug foreudder, and lateral attachments! We'd like to see more overall length and height to her size, and more correctly pointing, larger teats. Niamh was DNA typed in 2022 and emailed proof of completion is in our possession, but has not been uploaded into ADGA's NG program. We have no estimate for the timeline and until it is, her offspring will not show full parent verification.
Show Record: 1x 1st, 1x 2nd, 1x 3rd, 1x SrRCH

2023 ~ 316 DIM 1,641lbs 4.4%BF 3.7%P.

Niamh will be bred to Sean this fall. 1st doe kid may be retained. Additional does and bucks will be available. Kids will be A/A casein.
Irish Blessing RK Rioghnach 2-19-23 A/A Casein & DNA typed ~AGS dual registered
Rioghnach was our keeper of the beautiful twin does Holly gave us in 2023. Rioghnach (pronounced ree-oh-nuh) means queenly, and we agree with the regal air of this little girl. She is tall and growthy with incredible natural width between her rear legs. She has great depth of body for her age and improved strength of bone over her dam. We are especially excited about her width of rear udder and lateral attachments. At the moment, we would like to see a more level rump slope and more properly positioned teats. Don't let her sweet face fool you, Rioghnach is just like her mother; mischievous and into everything within reach.
Show Record: 1x 1st, 2x 2nd
DHIR Lactations:
2024 ~ In Progress!
Reena will be bred to Adhradh this fall. Bucklings will be wethered. Likely all doe kids will be available. Kids will be A/A or A/F casein.
Irish Blessing RK Roisin Dubh 2-19-23 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered
"Teeny," as she is called here, was not an expected keeper, but when our intended keeper kids weren't born, we felt Rioghnach needed a penmate and kept one of Naoise's beauties. She earned her nickname from being the smallest baby born in 2023, but she is far from the smallest now! Roisin Dubh (row-sheen-dove) means "little black/dark rose" and we couldn't think of a better fit for this black imp. We are appreciative of her level top line, rump width, incredible dairy skin, and her very affectionate personality. We are pleased with her foreudder as an improvement on her dam, though we would like to see more depth of body and height of rear udder arch at this time.
Show Record: 2x 1st, 1x 2nd
DHIR Lactations:
2024 ~ In Progress!
Teeny will be bred to Adhradh this fall. Bucklings will be wethered. Likely all doe kids will be available. Kids will be A/A or A/F casein.
