BREEDING SPOTLIGHT
Bama Belle’s Calendar Girl

While I don’t have many photos of her, Callie’s quality speaks for itself. She was bred to Patron, with kids due in late January. The kids from this pairing will be Experimentals, and I have no doubt they’ll be the kind that can MILK.

Callie is an absolute joy to milk. She has long, easy-to-milk teats, a soft, pliable udder that milks down into a RAG, and above all, a strong will to produce. When she first came here, she was already partially dried off, but with a little extra effort (milking her 3x a day for a week or two) she bounced right back into milk. Once settled back into a 2x/day routine, she was producing a solid gallon daily (half a gallon each milking). That determination and persistence in the pail is exactly what I love about her!

BREEDING SPOTLIGHT!

Freckled F***y CM Mystified was bred to Dallas, with kids due 1/20!

Mystified is a striking doe with an elegant look and a very correct, functional build. She combines dairy strength with balance and capacity, all while maintaining a feminine, eye-catching presence in the herd. Her wide, level frame and openness of rib point toward strong production potential, and we are thrilled to see what she and Dallas will produce together.

At this time, no reservations are available for Mystified’s 2026 kids, but I am eagerly anticipating what this pairing will bring to our herd in the new year!

This was the last of the Nigerians to be bred for the season, as long as no one else cycles back into heat! With everyone now bred, I’ll be working on collages for each of the pairings, which will be posted once breedings are confirmed.

🌟 Doe Spotlight:
Ladner Farms Coco Chanel

Coco has not been given nearly the attention she deserves! As a first freshener, she was somewhat hidden in the crowd, as I had so many FF last year that she unfortunately got overlooked, even though she was quite impressive herself. From the very beginning, Coco has always been eye catching to me. She combines that strong, powerhouse look we value in our herd with plenty of dairy character, making her a very balanced and appealing doe to admire.

One of her best qualities is her willingness and eagerness to milk, she absolutely LOVES it! Without fail, Coco is at the gate twice a day, right on time, ready to head to the milk stand. She is a doe with a very capacious udder, one that takes a bit longer to really fill, and these pictures show her on a 24-hour fill. Structurally, Coco shows us a well-attached mammary system with a high, wide rear udder arch and a strong medial suspensory ligament. Her fore udder is smoothly extended into the body wall, and she has nice teat size and placement (one of my favorite things to see). Along with her strength, she stands on correct feet and legs, with that level topline and balance that makes her so eye appealing.

Coco will not be kidding in 2026, as she will be milked through. I are excited to see how she continues to perform in the parlor over the coming year! She Does have kid reservations open for 2027 though!

BREEDING SPOTLIGHT
Daphne

Daphne was bred to Dallas for Unregistered Nigerians! Kids will be FCFS 🙂 Due 1/19!

BREEDING SPOTLIGHT:
WG Hills C Martini

This one is also incredibly special to us! Martini is the very first registered homebred doeling here to freshen! She’s due 1/17, alongside her dam, Bellini.

Martini comes from strong roots within my herd. Not only does her dam remain here with us, but Martini also has a littermate brother, as well as several nieces and aunts in the lineup. truly keeping this line thriving within our program.

She has went through a stage of growth and transformation recently. Martini spent much of her first year in an “ugly duckling” phase, appearing immature compared to her peers. While she still carries a youthful look, she has blossomed into a graceful almost 2-year-old who strongly reminds us of her dam. Martini carries that same elegance, dairyness, and presence that made me fall in love with Bellini.

Martini is bred to Rafter 2K Hang On Snoopy, and we are thrilled to see what this cross will bring! Currently, 1 doe reservation remains open for this pairing. (Buck kid reservation status is still undecided.)

We are so excited to watch our first homebred doeling step into the milk pail this season—and to see what she and Snoopy produce!

✨BREEDING SPOTLIGHT ✨
Freckled F***y DD Bellini

To begin the doe spotlights, I’ve decided to post each one as the does are bred. And who better to start with than Bellini. She is due 1/17!

This spotlight is especially close to my heart, as Bellini has always been one of my absolute favorites in the pasture. She moves with the grace and elegance of a deer, and to me, she perfectly represents the “type” of Nigerian I strive for in my herd.

Bellini was an impressive first freshener, producing nearly half a gallon of milk per day on a consistent 2X a day milking schedule. Unfortunately, her second freshening was cut short due to mastitis, which led to an early dry off. We are hopeful there was no permanent damage to her udder and are hopeful that she will freshen normally for future lactations.

She has already made her mark here, with two kids retained in the herd and multiple grandchildren. Her son, WG Hills C Pour Decisions, and daughter, WG Hills C Martini, are both with us, along with granddaughters WG Hills PD Golden Hour, WG Hills PD Armani, and WG Hills PD Freaky Friday. I still regret not keeping her other doe kid, Mai Tai, but I’m grateful for the impact Bellini continues to make through her progeny.

Looking ahead, I am very excited for Bellini to freshen again in 2026 with kids sired by Snoopy. While there are always things to improve on any doe, I truly believe Bellini is an outstanding foundation doe who will leave a lasting influence on my herd. Perhaps I’m biased, but I think she’s pretty great. ❤️

✨ More pics to be added. There are no reservations available for this pairing in 2026.

I am very pleased with the 2025 kids and am very excited to see them freshen in 2027! (with the possibility of some as early as late 2026). The Dallas daughters in particular are already showing exactly what we had hoped for from their pairings. Reservations are currently available for their FF, even though it is incredibly far in the future!

*they will be added to the website soon!*

✨BREEDING SPOTLIGHT ✨

Rafter 2K Hang On Snoopy is an exciting addition to our breeding program, offering the combination of power, balance, and refinement that I want to see in a herd sire. While I haven’t had any kids born here from Snoopy yet, I have seen a few of his kids (from does that I sold bred) and they were improved over their dams in the ways that I had hoped for! (unfortunately no photos). I’m very excited to see his first true kid crop here next year! His ability to blend structural correctness with dairy strength positions him to hopefully produce kids with both eye appeal and performance potential.

There’s a FEW free reservations that remain available for Snoopy’s 2025 kids!

*more pictures will be added soon!*

BREEDING SPOTLIGHT!

Musemark C Patron, my yearling ADGA LaMancha type Experimental buck who will be covering all of the standard does for the upcoming breeding season.

Patron is an outstanding young buck whose natural stance showcases his level topline, and excellent feet and legs. He stands uphill, blending smoothly from a clean, long neck into prominent withers, and shows admirable width and depth in the chest floor for his age. His angularity, flat bone, and openness of rib reflect strong dairy character, while his substance of bone and balanced proportions promise durability and longevity.

He carries a long, wide, and level rump with, paired with a wide, open escutcheon. Traits that should translate into capacious, well attached mammary systems in his daughters. His overall balance, and correctness make him a valuable sire for building structurally sound, productive dairy goats which is exactly what we strive to breed for.

We are already seeing his influence in the herd with his promising daughter, WG Hills P She Was A Fairy, a stylish young doe we are very excited to watch mature.

We are confident that Patron will sire kids with the structural integrity, style, and production potential demanded by discerning breeders. Many free kid reservations remain open, ask us about them!

Breeding Spotlight: WG Hills C Pour Decisions

WG Hills C Pour Decisions is a standout homebred buck who embodies the balance, structure, and style we aim to produce in our herd. He combines the strength and correctness of his dam, Freckled F***y DD Bellini, with the sharpness and dairy strength of his sire, Ladner Farms Casanova.

“Dallas” excels in overall balance, a long, level topline, strong feet and legs, and a smoothly blended front end. His length of body, well-sprung rib, and clean dairy frame give him the capacity and angularity we value in productive animals. He is naturally upstanding with a masculine, yet refined presence.

We are especially excited for his influence on the next generation, with three promising daughters currently in our herd:
• WG Hills PD Golden Hour
• WG Hills PD Armani
• WG Hills PD Freaky Friday

We look forward to seeing these young does freshen and believe they will carry forward his structural correctness, smooth blending, and strong dairy character. Dallas has already proven himself as an asset to our breeding program, and we are confident he will continue to help us achieve our long-term goals for both show and production. I am SO excited to utilize him in the coming years! Please let me know if you’d like to get on the list for one of his kids!

(Also, don’t mind his haircut, also give him grace, he’s in FULL rut lol 🤣. Also I am beginning to start a spotlight to where I post the animals that will be used this breeding season.)

In Loving Memory of Freckled F***y E Bold Face “Bold”

Bold’s life was one of resilience, transformation, and love. When she first came to me, she was underweight, unhappy, and carrying the weight of a previous home. With time, care, and a bit of well-deserved spoiling, she regained her spark and became the queen of the gate, greeting me every day without fail.

True to her name in some ways and opposite in others, Bold avoided conflict, except when it came to babies. She wanted nothing to do with kids that weren’t her own, yet was a devoted and protective mother to her daughter, Poker, who passed earlier this year. I take comfort in imagining them together again, free from pain.

Bold had a taste for life’s small luxuries: animal crackers, french fries, and Doritos. 🤣 and enjoyed a privilege only a few other goats had: daily access to the babies’ alfalfa wall. It was a routine I will miss, seeing the joy on her face when I clipped the leash to her collar and she knew where she was going was priceless.

She passed from polio Tuesday night, loved and cherished until her very last breath. Many knew her story of hardship and recovery, but I will remember her most for her quiet strength, her quirks, and the light she brought into my life.

Rest peacefully, Bold. You were truly one of a kind. ❤️
