Kimmy is one of my grand old ladies. Even at age 13 she demanded to be bred. Her last year’s kid, Clyde, looks to be one of my long-term Senior Herdsires. Kimmy is a very heavy milker, but is still extremely upright on her pasterns. When you look at her outstanding pedigree, you can see why she’s called North Carolina home since she was a kid.

Emma is the only daughter of my Patty. Patty was BJDIS at NC State Fair in 1997, but sadly, Patty died of heart failure shortly after Emma was born. Emma has a definite Alpine personality, but we love her anyway. I’ve retained a number of her bucks, but I think that this years buck kid, a son of Clyde, is a winner.

Flora is my pink-nosed lover. In spite of her smaller stature, she is one of the heaviest milkers in my herd. She is productive even during hot weather. She has numerous RCH wins and several GCH wins. Because of her excellent conformation, I have used her unregistered buck kids with great success. She is the grand daughter of our first, unregistered, goats, but is Alpine through and through. Flora kidded on March 21 with two doe kids.

Annabelle is actually my grandson’s goat. She is a big, deep-bodied doe and a heavy producer. She had triplets 3 years ago, twins the next year and two doe kids sired by Clyde this year. So far one of the Clyde kids shows all the width his previous kids have had. The second take more after her mother.

Daria is one of those does who probably should be on Prozac. While she’s not mean, she IS flighty. The flighty is going away as she ages, thankfully. In spite of that, I’ve kept her and her daughters and will have no hesitation in keeping a buck out of her. Daria decided to take 2011 off.

Guin’s personality is such a polar opposite from her dam. She is cool, calm and collected and probably one of the best animals I’ve ever had here. I retained both her buck and her doe kid from this year – however Germaine, her buck, is now a happy camper on another farm.
Since Guin had other ideas, I was not able to AI her, but we did get her bred to Clyde for late April kidding.

Verdene in both looks and personality is a lot like her dam, Dallas. When it comes to food, you do NOT want to be between her and the bucket. She does, however, give exceptionally nice kids.
One of Daria’s doe kids now calls Grenada home – with thanks to the Grenada Project ( http://thegrenadaproject.org ) Verdene is bred to Schatzgeiss TK Jester for early April kids.

Idabelle is yet another whose personality is just like her mother’s. But to say she’s laid back is an understatement. She knows where she is in the herd order and, while not pushy, does make it clear that she can get her way! She is milking through and still producing right at 4 – 5 lbs a day.
It looks like Ida is going to milk through again this year.

OK, so she wasn’t very impressive as a milking yearling but boy, has she matured nicely. Lydia is now a long, long doe with an udder that milks down to nothing. I bred her to Nodaway Sorcerer Visionary last year and have retained both her buck, Bors, and her doe, Aurora.
Lydia co-operated with the AI nicely again this year and is bred to Goodwoods James for early April kids.

While I don’t have an official pedigree for Pauli as she was out of an unregistered Alpine and sired by a Grade Alpine buck,her grandsire is Goodwoods James and her granddam is Schatzgeiss TR Nosegay, one of my best animals. Although small in stature, she milks like a champion and has one of the softest-textured udders in the herd. She was bred to Bors fall of 2010 and kidded March 24 with a buck and doe. The buck kid not only has wattles like his mom, he is black and white pied with a pink nose. The doe kid has a pink nose, too, and is cou blanc.
