DOB: 3/04/07 (twin) 

Fun loving Calli, with the same sweet disposition as her dam (looks AND cries like her too! If only I could stop calling her,  Zee.  Level, long neck, nice width, nice leg set, beautiful, feminine face.  Calli came to live here at approximately 3 weeks young.  I used to bring her in every day to nap with me (I think I enjoyed it more than she did).  She loves attention and affection.  When I sit low to the ground, Calli will put both front legs (curled under) on my chest and I know she's hugging me.  I just love this little doe! Her sire, Dragonfly IH Orbit , will be a buck to be reckoned with, I think!  He is currently a herd sire at God's Love Farm.

Flat Rocks Meshach *D

Sire:  MCH Flat Rocks Flash 'E'  (Flat Rocks Mighty Mike x MCH Flat Rocks Surprise)

Dam:  Willow Creek Holy Smoke (Glady's Porter Zoo Ali's Pirate x Willows Woebegone) 

DOB: 10/7/1995 - 12/8/2008 

Per Sue Brennan: "This picture doesn't begin to show what a lovely doe Meshach is, nor how horribly unhappy she was at being photographed!  Nonetheless, she cooperated *somewhat* <g>, although her attributes aren't shown well.  This doe is deep and wide, and has a near perfect mammary system.  I'd have to say that Meshach probably has the highest rear udder in my herd.  Her udder has incredible lateral attachment, perfectly placed plumb teats, and tons of capacity.  Her udder's only weakness is the foreudder - she has a shelf and could use more extension.  Oh well - she's still a huge asset to the herd!  I did make an attempt at showing Meshach, which I'll never do again.  She was stressed out more than I've ever seen, bloated up and basically flipped out.  

 

At 13 yrs. old, Meshach is still going strong.  This crazy old goat has become one of my all time favorites.   It appears that this old gal's reproducing days are long past, but she's more than welcome to live out a life of leisurely retirement right here - she's earned it."

Retired; Meshach died in her sleep the morning of Dec. 8, 2008 - a long life, well-lived.

I feel honored to have this doe here. She displays charisma and elegance... all in one little package! She is very sweet and enjoys getting her daily, special attention.  If this girl doesn't receive her quality time, she will high tail it from inside the stable, out to the paddock, and SCREAMS until I either disappear or go back and give her some love (it took me a while to figure it out). Thalia is that goat that you could just sit and watch all day long as she is wonderfully graceful, both on the move or just hanging out. She is a petite goat with lovely manners and so very enjoyable to milk with such soft, pliable teats and large orifices. 

I retained her 2009 doe and she is just stunning.

This doe is absolutely stunning; looong, feminine face, good feet and legs, nice angulation... all around nice! Very dairy with easy to milk teats and lots of milk.

Nighting Bug's sire is none other than the infamous Stonewall's Raising Arizona, with the dam being Gay-Mor's Fleet Kricket 3*D AR.

Wild is very petite at about 19 inches tall, but Wild's breeder, Joanne states: "Still milked respectably in the brief period she was able to be on test. She has absolutely terrific teats."

Halli is all around nice; legs, feet, wide flat rump, length, beautifully blended shoulders, and great depth of body.  I couldn't ask for a lovelier goat and friend!
