We just found out that our buck Larkstone SP Grand Design *B made the 2021 ADGA Elite Buck List!  He's in the 96th percentile, with a Production/Type Index 2:1 of 156, which puts him in 19th place for the highest PTI2:1 of all Nigerian bucks.

Grand's sire, Sugar Moon O Sky Pilot +*B*S, also made the Elite buck list this year, and Grand's dam, SGCH Sugar Moon RB Mine By Design 3*M, made the Elite list once again (she's been on the Elite list since 2016).

Today we sent the does out to new pasture.  The chicory, alfalfa, tansy, and mullein are blooming blue and purple and gold.

Little Lady leaps the ditch:

Music found my abandoned boots "hiding" in the grass and couldn't figure out what those strange black things were:

Krebs QQ Caribou Quinn has matured into an elegant doe:

The goats respect the horse's space (he's never mean--just a lot bigger), but they like keeping him in sight, especially when the grass is tall.  He has a much higher vantage point than they do, so they feel secure knowing he can spot any danger:

This is Krebs QQ Hope.  Need to get a side photo of her--she is extremely long bodied:

Caribou luxuriating in back scratches:

Krebs QQ Clairissa Quinn:

Krebs C Sandy:

Willow looking good without her winter woolies.  She's a very petite doe:

And just because I snapped the photo as I walked back from taking goat photos . . . . After years of introducing (intentionally or not) many different colored and styled hollyhocks to our flowerbeds, we have ended up with a menagerie of colors growing wild.  Deep burgundy, magenta, pink, yellow, white; single to fully double blossoms.  One of our favorites that appeared this year is this peachy-pink double:

This afternoon we worked on getting some more goat photos for the website.  It was a bit of a challenge because the grass is so deep in the pasture now, that the goats disappear, but we did get some nice photos, and we caught a few interesting moments in goatdom as well . . . .

​Willow munching on thistles (yum):

Patty Pan thinks thistles are very tasty:

Eve Quinn:

Little Lady, Miss Muffet, and Pumpkin (left to right) came over to say hi.  I'd be thrilled if all my goats had Pumpkin's head and udder.  Pumpkin and Miss Muffet are litter sisters out of Heidi, sired by QuentinQuinn.  Little Lady is out of Ladylove, sired by QuentinQuinn:

Finally got a decent photo of Dove (she's suspicious of cameras--you can see her hackles sticking up in this photo):

Kasha looks just like her mom, Cookie, in a different color scheme:

10-year-old Heidi with her pleasant expression and "lipstick":

Heidi's daughter Elise, sired by DeClaire.  Really excited to see how this doe freshens next year:

Peppermint looking beautiful (see more new photos of her here):

Here is Whisper.  She is the sweetest goat ever.  Who couldn't love goats after seeing that face?

We have updated the website with new photos.  We are extremely pleased with our first-freshening CH Old Mountain Farm QuentinQuinn *B daughters, and our two 2020 doe acquisitions (Willow & Ygritte) turned out to be good additions to the herd.  Check out the new photos at the following goats' pages.

(UPDATE 5/17/21: ALL SOLD) These 3 cute little guys are looking for new homes.  They are $ 100 ea. (photos below).  They were born on May 6 and May 12.  Prefer they go as bottle babies.  Can go separately if you already have goats; at least two must go together if you don't have goats already (goats are herd animals and need a buddy of the same species).  Please contact us with any questions.

Went out and visited the goats this evening.  They're enjoying the spring weather and fresh grass . . . . 

Krebs Farm OT Clairebelle 2*M 2*D AR is one of our favorite does, but we've never been able to get photos that do her justice.  Finally, today we got them!  She is 5 years old, 5th freshener milked out in these photos.  See more information about her on her page. 

Also check out her stunning 2021 son sired by Larkstone SP Grand Design *B (photo at the bottom of the post).  He is 1 month old in the photo.  He and his beautiful chocolate-colored litter sister are retained.  :)

And her 2021 son sired by Grand Design . . .
