Dam: ARMCH Castle Rock Sky Lupine 2*D
(Twin Creeks BW Rebel w/o a Cause *S x ARMCH/CH/PGCH Esperanza WS Sara *D'VG')

Lia certainly appears to take after her Aunt Cali- I can't believe how much they look alike. Lia has been little Ms. Personality from day one, so how could I not keep her? She's a very nicely balanced doe, with a level topline, a very nice set of straight legs, smoothness of blending and flat dairy bone. She has freshened with a well attached udder with nice shape, although not as strong of an MSL as her dam (admittedly, a high bar to judge by), and she could use more dairy character.

CRF Castle Rock Honey Child
DOB 2/1/8
2 x RGCH Jr.

Sire: Woodhaven Farms Latigo
(Woodhaven Farms TKO x Woodhaven Farms Shaula Parker)
Dam: Algedi Farm S Honey Heart 5*D AR 1980
(Kaapio Acre's KK Sultan *S x CH Rosasharn's UMT Tupelo Honey 4*D)

Those of you from the South will probably recognize the correct pronunciation of this doe's name (Honey Chy-ile) with the appropriate silent "d". She is a stylish little doe who has done fairly well in limited showings. She is a very stretchy doe with a long elegant neck, a nice front end assembly, good angularity, and nice sweep and spring to her ribs. I am pleased with the area of attachment that her udder has, rear udder height, and soft texture, though I would like to see a more well defined MSL and better teat placement.

CRF Castle Rock Tuscan Sun
DOB 2/15/8

Sire: Woodhaven Farms Latigo
(Woodhaven Farms TKO x Woodhaven Farms Shaula Parker)
Dam: TX Twin Creeks WDF Sunsprite
(MCH-CH Pecan Hollow Willy's Dance Fever *S x MCH-CH Goodwood Good Day Sunshine E)

Lots of dairy character, spring of rib, angularity, with a very strong front end assembly, straight front legs, and good depth of heel. Like her dam, she is polled, long bodied, sharp and elegant. She has nice teat size and wonderful capactiy, especially for a first freshener, though I would like to see a little better teat placement.

CRF Castle Rock Tesla

Sire: Woodhaven Farms Latigo
(Woodhaven Farms TKO x Woodhaven Farms Shaula Parker)
Dam: ARMCH Lost Valley TB Infinity 4*D
(MCH Lost Valley Tae-Bo *S x MCH Lost Valley Mercedes 3*D)

Tesla (named after the electric sports car, not the band) has been a favorite from the beginning. She is a long, elegant doe, with smoothness of blending, straight front legs, a wide rump and lots of dairy character. She has this quiet sense of dignity about her. She would never think to bleat loudly (for that would be undignified) rather, she will quietly slip into your lap or gently nibble at your shirt until you notice she is there.

CRF Castle Rock Bumble Bee
DOB 3/11/8

Sire: CRF Castle Rock Sky Walker *S
(Rosasharn HB Mithrandir *S x ARMCH Castle Rock Sky Lupine 2*D)
Dam: CRF Castle Rock Honey Bee
(Lost Valley KW Stetson +*S x Algedi Farm S Honey Heart 5*D AR 1980)

Bumble Bee is a very feminine doe with smooth blending, high withers, a level topline, lots of width between the hocks and great angularity you can really see when she is on the move. She has freshened (maybe we'll get an updated picture during linear appraisal) with a very socked on udder with a pleasing shape and teats about as big as my thumbs. Her udder is smaller than I would have expected from this combination, but carries a respectable amount of milk and milks down very well. Unfortunately, it became unbalanced due to a single kid staying on her for longer than it should have, and on top of that, we had a problem with our milking machine that has resulted in a rather uneven looking udder for the time being. I think Bumble Bee has a good amount of potential, though she might not see the show ring until the next time she freshens.  Overall, I am quite pleased with how she has turned out.

(Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay +*S x MCH-PGCH Cloverdale YJ Blue Raven)
Dam: Castle Rock Annabelle
(Buttin'Heads Sharp No.2 Pencil x PGCH Twin Creeks WB Christabelle *D)

Roxanne is a very long necked, angular, and wide doe with good blending and a smoothly blended front end assembly with a flat topline.  Even though still small, she has a tremendous amount of width between her hocks on the move- a trait that runs pretty strongly on the maternal side of her family tree. These fuzzy pictures were taken just a week into her first freshening, so I am expecting more udder capacity to develop, but the shape and attachments are all very promising right now.

(Rosasharn HB Mithrandir *S x ARMCH Castle Rock Sky Lupine 2*D)
Dam: CRF Castle Rock Denali
(Buttin'Heads Sharp No.2 Pencil x Twin Creeks BW Cascade)

Obviously, we need to get an updated picture of this little lady since she's all grown up now. As a kid, she looked like an itty bitty saanen, but is starting to get much more gold in her coat. She is quite the power milker though with a very soft capacious (at the rate she's going, she'll produce over 1,000lbs of milk this year) udder that is well attached and has improved height compared to her dam. She has an exceptionally wide, flat rump, smooth blending, good angularity, and length of body.  She's got dairy character to spare, and a super sweet face that probably results in more than her fair share of attention.

Sire: CRF Castle Rock Guy Noir
(Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay +*S x Cloverdale YJ Blue Raven)
Dam: CRF Castle Rock Mouzza *D
(Buttin'Heads Sharp No.2 Pencil x Shooting Star Feta)

Brie's dam, Mouzza, is the niece of our doe Sara, whose bloodlines seem to combine very well with Montego Bay genetics. Brie looks like a rather unassuming doe, but her dam was a slow to mature doe who finally hit her stride as a three year old.  One of our friendliest, if you find yourself at our farm under a furry black and white attention-seeking-missile, there's a 50-50 chance that it is either our Border Collie, or Brie.

(Rosasharns Julius *S x ARMCH Fairlea Gretchen 2*D E)
Dam: ARMCH/CH/PGCH Esperanza WS Sara *D'VG'
(MCH/PGCH Ponders End MTB Wall Street x Esperanza ZZ Sedona Snowstorm)

Scarlet seems to be built much like her dam, Sara. She has really flat bone, a tight front end assembly, strong pasturns, angularity and an exceptionally wide and flat rump. I could wish for an extra couple of inches of lenth of body, but that didn't seem to hold Sara back, and I doubt it will hold back Scarlet either. She did hunch her neck down while we were taking pictures, so she does not look very well blended, but if someone is not trying to set her up, she is smoothly blended, and is very level while on the move. Scarlet has freshened with a very high rear udder with soft texture and ample side attachments.

Dam: Buttin'Heads Mochambo Irish 5*D AR1961
(Buttin'Heads Zip of Champagne *S x ARMCH Buttin'Heads Habanera 4*D)

Bailey is from our very first set of sextuplets born on the farm, and like her dam has that eager to get up on the milk stand personality. I am not sure why she looks quite so startled in this picture since she's certainly used to us, but maybe she thought the camera was going to eat her since she's never seen it before now. I am pleased to see that her sire seems to have improved her length of body, front end assembly, height of rear udder, smoothness of foreudder attachment, and has tightened up her toes somewhat. She levels out nicely while on the move, although she could use more smoothness of blending and better teat placement.

(Twin Creeks BW Montego Bay +*S x MCH-PGCH Cloverdale YJ Blue Raven)
Dam: Castle Rock Money Penny 2*D
(Twin Creeks PD MoneyintheBank +S'VG' x Ponders End SL Faerie Dust *D)

Penny Wise seems to have really come into her own as a milker. She's the oldest kid I've ever attempted to get on a bottle and has always been a little wild as a result. Now that she is being milked twice a day, she's completely friendly and will jump over other does in the milker stall in order to personally greet me at milking time! She cracks me up! She is a very, very dairy doe with sharpness, angularity, flat bone, wonderful spring of rib, super pliable dairy skin, and look at that stretchy elegant neck. She has a very capacious udder with a strong MSL, very large well defined teats with open orifices, and good teat placement. She is very well mannered on the milking stand, and I am looking forward to seeing how she does on 305-day milk test this year.
