Until ADGA gets their severely backlogged performance programs updated, show awards, milking stars, and appraisal scores are mostly "pending." Actual milk records can be viewed on the CDCB website, and upon request, we can provide copies of our 2023 appraisal scores, all our verification tests, DHI paperwork, and any show awards in the future. 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.
SGCH 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. She is large and deep-bodied, making her an eye-catcher due to her outstanding general appearance and solid productivity. She is nearly ideal for what we desire in a dairy goat, and the only things we would really like to change are lengthening her teats a 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 in summer 2023! According to her 2024 PTI score, she should earn a superior genetics designation whenever that program is up and running again. Fable has nothing more to prove to us and has earned her retirement. She gets to be a spoiled, sassy pasture princess for the remainder of her days. Well done, old lady! ADGA finally awarded her CH in 2025, four years after earning it. We are still waiting on her milking star.

5*M (p) Lucky*Star's ME Holly Hunter 2-10-2016 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered *D with AGS
Holly, our mischievous "pocket" goat, is very personable and always looks for something to open or get into. She has a beautiful head that emphasizes her elfishness. Although Holly is a smaller doe who did not fully mature into the glamour her famous family is known for, she is wide and broad-chested with a long, wide rump and loads of dairy strength. Her mammary is her best feature, with a snug fore udder, butter-soft udder texture, and production. We would like to see a more smoothly blended neck and a more level rump slope. Holly met the ADGA points requirements to earn her milking star in her 2021 lactation.
Show Record: 3x 2nd, 2x 3rd

6*M (p) Irish Blessing LL Naoise 3-25-21 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered
Naoise is an elegant and stately doe. 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 would like to see a bit more depth of rear rib and more foreudder extension at this time. ADGA finally uploaded Naoise's 2022 DNA into the NG database. Partially. Her records now show her as fully parent verified, but her individual typing is still in the void. ADGA has told us this will not affect her offspring's profiling.
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 ~ 322 DIM 2,419lbs 4.9%BF 3.6%P.
2025 ~ In Progress!
LA: 2-03 87 EVVG (E in shoulders, rump, & back)
Naoise has an AI breeding planned for fall 2025 with Adhradh as back up. 1st doe retained.
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 their favorite, cementing her place on our farm. Niamh (pronounced neev), meaning radiance, suits her well. The best description for Niamh's structure is "wide". She has a wide chest, rump, and space between her rear legs. She also boasts lovely breed character. As a milker, we adore her udder texture, snug foreudder, and lateral attachments! We would like to see more overall length and height to her size, and more correctly pointing, larger teats. Niamh's DNA is in the same boat as Naoise. She was typed in 2022, and it's now uploaded into NG, but only shows full parent verification, no individual typing. We are told this will not be an issue with her kids showing parent verification. Late summer 2024, Niamh contracted mastitis and became very uneven. She freshened fairly even this spring and we are happy to see the permanent damage was minimal.
Show Record: 1x 1st, 1x 2nd, 1x 3rd, 1x SrRCH
DHIR Lactations:
2023 ~ 316 DIM 1,641lbs 4.4%BF 3.7%P.
2024 ~ 285 DIM 1,561lbs 4.7%BF 4.0%P.
2025 ~ In Progress!
LA: 2-03 84 GGGV (E in rear legs and head)
Niamh has an AI breeding planned for fall 2025, Adhradh as back up. 1st doe retained.
Irish Blessing RK Rioghnach 2-19-23 A/A Casein & DNA typed ~AGS dual registered
Rioghnach (pronounced ree-oh-nuh), meaning queenly, has a regal air that we agree with. She is a tall, growthy, and productive lady with incredible natural width between her rear legs. For her age, she has great depth of body and improved strength of bone and length of back over her dam. We are especially excited about her rear udder width, lateral attachments, and chest width. Currently, we would like to see a more level rump slope, sharper shoulders, and more properly positioned teats. Rioghnach may have a sweet face, but don't be fooled - she is just like her mother, mischievous and into everything within reach.
Show Record: 1x 1st, 2x 2nd
DHIR Lactations:
2024 ~ 269 DIM 1,387lbs 4.5%BF 3.4%P.
2025 ~ In Progress!
Reena will be milked through for 2026.
Irish Blessing RK Roisin Dubh 2-19-23 A/A Casein & DNA typed~AGS dual registered
Roisin Dubh (row-sheen-dove), meaning little black rose, is a perfectly suited name for this dark imp of a goat. She shares Naoise's fantastic shoulders and we love her improvement in foreudder over her dam. She also shows pleasant levelness of rump, udder texture, and fantastic milk down. We would like to see more evenly sized teats and depth of body at this time. She is immature and on the smaller side but she is maturing beautifully.
Show Record: 2x 1st, 1x 2nd
DHIR Lactations:
2024 ~ 267 DIM 1,160lbs 4.8%BF 3.9%P.
Teeny will be bred Sean. Kids will be A/A casein. Doe kids are currently reserved. Buck kids are available.
Irish Blessing RK Seadna Mor 3-30-24 DNA typed, A/E Casein, AGS dual registered
Seadna is the long-awaited, and final Fable daughter we were blessed with; and boy, was she worth the wait! Long, tall, wide, and elegant. We particularly love her brisket extension, but would like to see more rear leg angulation and a more elegant bridge of nose. She is everything we had hoped for when repeating this breeding, and we can't wait to watch her mature! Thank you, Fable, for this treasure! Seadna Mor, pronounced "shay-na-more," is a style of Irish poetry. Her littermate brother, Scealai (reference), has a very limited amount of straws available from our personal tank.
Show Record: 2x 1st, 1x 2nd
Seadna will be bred to Sean, fall 2025. All kids likely available. Kids will be A/A or A/E casein
Irish Blessing LL Sibin 3-30-24 DNA pending, A/A Casein by parentage, AGS dual registered
It was completely unexpected for our then yearling, Rioghnach, to freshen with triplets, and at 4.2lbs, this little girl seemed like an afterthought. However, she hasn't let her tiny birth size hold her back from being the boss - she's spicy! Sibin has grown faster than any of our kids this year and she has a lot of style. She has long, flashy, gorgeous rear legs, and an escutcheon arch just like her mother. We would prefer it if she had longer cannon bones and her toes tracked 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 be bred to Adhradh, fall 2025. Likely all kids will be available. Kids will be A/A or A/F casein
Irish Blessing RN Somhairlin AI 4-20-24 DNA typed & A/E Casein AGS dual registered
“Frisky” is our first AI doe! We had originally planned to breed Fable to Nile, but Fable turned out not to be an AI candidate. So we tried her daughter, Niamh, who settled but lost her first Nile babies around 40 days. We tried one more time, and the result was our singleton miracle girl! She is lovely, and we are excited to watch her grow. Frisky is long, growthy, and has incredible width of rear leg and escutcheon. We would like to level her rump slope out a little more. Frisky’s registered name, pronounced “so-ver-lean,” is the Irish form of Samantha.
Show Record: 1x 2nd
Frisky will be bred to Adhradh, fall 2025. All kids likely available. Kids will be A/E, A/F, or E/F by parentage.
