A few pics of the babies and fresh milkers from around the barn tonight....

Spent some time this morning updating our website....more updates yet to come as time allows.

We currently have one 2026 buck kid and 7 doe kids available. Prices are $300 each and we will do a group price if you take multiples. What started out as a buck year turned into something totally different at the end...otherwise I would not be offering these doelings. These were all keeper kids as I sold non-keeper kids at birth.

Available buck kid is out of Raintree HT MaiTai and sired by Mint*Leaf New Heights...gorgeous kid and I really want to keep him so someone better grab him up!

Purebred/American Doe kids are out of the following does:

1 doe out of Raintree SFC Sweet Tart X Flim Flam Farms Jax Fools Gold. 2/4 kid. Granddam is SGCH Calico Patch DS Snickers who was 2021 High 305 Milk, High 305 Fat, High Lifetime Milk, High Lifetime Fat and Total Performer at the National Show...again another kid I really want to keep!

1 doe kid out of GCH Manzinita Farms Ice Hooligan X Mint*Leaf Max Million....last available kid out of Max!! Hooligan appraised 91 VEEE last June.

1 doe kid out of J-Haven's SV Strawberry Moose X Calico Fields SFC Renegade. Her maternal sister, Melons, was 7th Yearling Milker at Nationals last year and 1st yearling Milker at the Indiana State Fair.

1 doe kid out of Alder*Rose Nik Reaver X Mint*Leaf New Heights. Reaver appraised 87 VVVV on her 1st appraisal last year and she definitely knows how to milk.

1 doe kid out of Reaver's yearling daughter, Alder*Rose Sanji Nami. Nami is sired by Rockin-CB AAT Sanji. Kid is sired by Calico Fields SFC Renegade and is polled.

Experimental kids:
1 doe kid out of Meraki JT Dazzlin' Doja X Mint*Leaf New Heights. Beautiful 3/6 kid....nearly 11 # at birth and she hasn't stopped growing....kids out of her will be American.

1 doe kid out of Calico-Acres WS Buttercup X Shady Lawn AS Island Pirate. Buttercup is a stunning 2nd freshener this year. 75% kids out of her will be American.

Now that kidding is over and we've had a chance to evaluate what we have, there will be a few doelings available. Right now I have 2 experimental doelings and possibly 2 or 3 purebreds available. Prices will be reasonable but will be dependent on pedigree and how long I have to keep them. Most of the available experimental doelings will have American LaMancha kids when bred.

Serious inquiries only`.....if interested I can send pedigrees, pics and prices.

We may also have a small group of milkers and dry yearlings available. We have one milker that is currently dry but cycling and could be bred for fall freshening since our bucks are in rut. She'd make a great dairy doe!

And it's a wrap...the 2026 kidding season has come to an end...and all 4 kidded in a matter of 5 hours time....yielding 7 does and 2 bucks.

Alder*Rose Nik Reaver had triplets...2 does and a buck. She was bred to Mint*Leaf New Heights.

Alder*Rose Sanji Nami (dtr to Reaver) was bred to Calico Fields SFC Renegade and had twin polled does.

Alder*Rose Nik Tyranny was hand bred to one buck but obviously ended up bred to a different one...DNA is being ordered but since the kid is polled, there aren't a lot of doubts on the sire. She had a buck and doe and I'm guessing they are sired by Calico Fields SFC Renegade who was used as a clean up buck in her pen a week after she was hand bred.

Lastly, Calico Acres WS Buttercup had twin does sired by Shady Lawn AS Island Pirate.

For the most part, easy kiddings although both Tyranny and Buttercup had one kid with a head back and down. Sharla came to the rescue on Tyranny and I managed to snag Buttercup's. The rest all kidded without help but managed to do it back to back. It's been a long day!

I can't say this has been an easy kidding season...and lot of huge kids and the loss of two does cut deep, so I heave a sigh of relief that it is done.

Now if the weather will cooperate (this IS Wisconsin after all) we can clean the barn on Sunday!!

Mission accomplished....today we geared up for the last group of 4 does due the end of the week. Last of the kids moved into the barn, tattooing caught up and everyone microchipped. Totes washed and disinfected and set up.

Since I was out in the barn working, I also caught up all of the hoof trimming including all 6 dry yearlings and a couple of dry does that needed a trim. Tonight James will lightly bed all the pens in the barn with hopes that we can do spring barn cleaning next Sunday.

The 4 remaining does will be induced for Wednesday/Thursday kidding. We've had some extremely large single kids this year and want to avoid any more stress (on me and them!!). We have 2 first freshening yearlings in this final group as well as a 2 and 3 year old. Does due are Calico-Acres WS Buttercup, Alder*Rose Nik Reaver, Alder*Rose Nik Tyranny and Alder*Rose Sanji Nami.

Looking forward to the end of kidding!!

Well that was NOT the end of my kidding season that I planned....a single 11 # buck kid...and yes, I checked multiple times. Newly sires kids that are half grown at birth, it seems. Haven't made my mind up about this guy's future....time will tell...but for now he stays.

Sharla still has 2 more does to kid in April and so does James....one of those bred to Newly....maybe we'll induce her early!

Except for two 6 # kids born fairly early, Newly's kids have averaged well over 9 #.

Day 150....and still waiting! MaiTai at chores this AM....maybe today? She is bred to Mint*Leaf New Heights!

03/14/2026

And then there were 5.....

We made the decision to induce Tizzie a week early as she was struggling on her feet and legs. Easy, peasy delivery with twin 7 # bucks...BAD TIZZIE....this was a yearling I really wanted a doe kid out of.....but the easy delivery was welcome and appreciated. I did tell the hubby not to waste the pink towels on them, though!

With a winter storm headed our way, we have one more doe to freshen this weekend and hoping the doe fairy can bring at least one doeling from my beautiful MaiTai!

If anyone is interested in one of these guys, they have an impeccable pedigree and would make you a deal if picked up soon. But let us know ASAP or they will be gone. One is pretty much black and the other is black with a partial white belt and facial stripe.

Next two does up to kid are personal favorites.

First up is Raintree HT Mai Tai, a 2nd freshening 3 year old. MaiTai is the daughter of Opportunity Charade Grace X Jen-Mae-Ka Kids Heart Throb. She is bred to Mint*Leaf New Heights. MaiTai is a beautiful doe with a gorgeous mammary and we can't wait to see her fresh again! Hoping for a doeling this time!

Second up is yearling, Royal Cedars Drachen Tizzie. A first freshener Tizzie is out of GCH Royal Cedars Red Canary and sired by Barnowl Drachen. She is bred to Alder*Rose Trip (GCH Alder*Rose Jugg Lirin X Alder*Rose Righteous Brand). Tizzie is developing a beautiful mammary with perfect teat placement. She already has one of the deepest bodies I've ever seen on a yearling.

Both does should be fresh this weekend.

We are sold out of milking does for this year as well as mature bucks. We have a few show quality dry yearlings available and may have a few April doelings available. Let us know if you are still looking for that next show yearling or kid!

We appreciate all the buyers who have gotten milkers and bucks from us this spring!

03/08/2026

And then there were just 6 left....

Kiss finally kidded on day 152 with triplets...just what Sharla ordered...a doe and 2 bucks. Doe is retained, bucks are reserved. This was another set of Newly kids and they are sure living up to expectations!! Just 2 does left bred to him this season.

This was our milkhouse this AM....Kiss buck on left, Doja twin does in middle and Kiss doe and buck on right...you sure can tell who their sire is!

Next one up is Raintree HT MaiTai, one of my personal favorite does also due to Mint*Leaf New Heights but we have 8 days before she is due. Right behind her is our first yearling FF, Royal Cedars Drachen Tizzie who is bred to Alder*Rose Trip. Tizzie can barely climb on the milking stand right now with 12 days to go so we'll be watching her pretty closely.
