It’s going to be a long hard winter waiting for this year’s kids to be born. After building our herd for so long, we’re finally seeing our plans formulate into some beautiful animals. Our original does, who helped us so much along the way, Wonder, Bourbon, Scotch and especially our beautiful Surprize will be retired. Their daughters, granddaughters. great….  daughters and sons are pulling their genetics together in wonderful ways.

We’ve always bred our herd with production in mind, able to bring good milk amounts to the table even without expensive alfalfa and feed supplements. Though I wish we could bring alfalfa to the herd every year, it’s just not in the cards, but we’ve got several does reaching their stars year after year, and bringing us daughters who improve on their mothers’ records. Though we’ve lost Mithral, this year Jobi Fern will be bred, and her kids will be guarded carefully, as Fern is much like her sister and dam (Fawn and Fanci in the Jobi herd) and is our top milker here now.

So, if you’re looking for friendly, productive, beautiful family milkers or show stock, check us out. We’re eager to see how Rebel’s daughters, Shane, Macrame and Arpeggia mature, and then there’s the LJ kids and grand kids, Ali, MInuet, Roulette, Sundog, Corona, Quicksilver, Patina and their brothers.

We also have our new little buck, Cornerstone Farm Jeriah, who comes from a long line of milkers in the Ceasar’s Villa herd, hopefully following in the way of his grandsire, Stetson and his sire, Fable, in bringing milk along with correct kids.

As I said, it’s going to be hard to wait, but I love what I see out in the field right now. I think you will too!
