Melvyna as a 4 year old.

Melvyna is strong and smooth, with a particularly wide and flat rump. She has a quirky personality--always getting into trouble and looking to be queen. Her udder is rock solid, with a lovely medial, and ideal teats. She is out-producing herself: daughters Merry, Mistral, and Milk are just lovely.

Shillelagh, age 4 years.

Shillelagh [shill-LAY-lee] is such a neat cross of old and new from the Iron-Rod lines. She is incredibly smooth, and her udder is just stellar. She is well-loved here. She placed in both the 2017 and 2018 ADGA National Shows. She did not freshen until age 3, and we are over the moon with her progeny in 2020 and 2021. Her udder is finely textured, smoothly attached, and very easy to milk. She had mastitis in early 2021 that impacted her left half, affecting both her milk production total and her show season. We hope for an even freshening in 2022

Bethyl as a 2 year old.

Bethyl was the last baby from our beloved Blythe. Jet black and polled, she is incredibly dairy, and has come in with great capacity and milkability. In fact, she prefers to continue milking long past everyone else. Bethyl is Delysia's showmaship doe. We are retaining her daughter Ballerina as a dry yearling in 2022.
Show Results:4x1st, 1xRGCH.
Breeding Plans: Milking through 2022.

Mistral as a 2 year old.

Mistral is a character--into your pockets, bothering older does, chewing on things. She was a sharp kid, and freshened beautifully. She has a lovely udder, as confirmed by an E in her 2 year-old LA score. She had an injury to her right hind leg in April 2021, so stayed home for much of 2021. She recovered to beat Bethyl in the September show, and earn a 90 point LA score in October! We love her Rising Son daughter, Mageddon, so we will repeat the breeding.

  Silver Lining as a milking yearling.

Quite possibly the most correct and promising Legs daughter that we have had. Silver Lining was the last kid from a very productive doe, a premie C-section success story. She is very open and flat, while maintaining a lovely balance of dairy and strength. She is an exciting prospect, and we have already seen this cross yield some lovely animals, such as her full sister Lyrix.

Minerva at 4 months.

Minerva is a lovely kid, with a strong set to her rear legs, and excellent body capacity. We are pleased to have a Magdalene daughter back in the herd. Her fresh udder is very well attached, productive, and easy to hand milk.  Due to a later kidding and strong will to milk, she stayed home rather than traveling to shows in 2021. I have no updated picture at this time!

Stella as a milking yearling.
We are pleased to lease this sharp, milky doe. She developed with a lot of width and probably our favorite udder to milk in 2021. She is laid back, and easy to handle, making her a joy to have in the barn.
