We lost Mac’s dam India Blue EOF Eye of Hope 2*M AR VEVV87 tragically due to complications following kidding. When Mac was born. the spitting image of her dam, I knew we had to keep her. She is a beautiful dairy doe, who won reserve grand champion at her very first show. Sired by Primo, this girl should excel in more than just the show ring as she has a ton of milk potential and high LA scores behind her. This is one to watch for sure!

Hallie 4*M AR EX91

Hallie @ 5yrs 3mos

Hallie is our definition of herd-goals and a true ADGA total performer. With an appraisal score of VEEE91 at 5 years old, a mammary system that has maintained beauty, function and capacity over the years, never scoring below 3rd in her class and excellent milk numbers she is our favorite of all (just please don’t tell the others!). Hallie is another doe who Val had over at Gillispie’s County Line Farm and due to space limitations at the time I could not bring here when she dispersed her dairy herd. Lucky for me, another breeder friend bought her and sold her to me with her daughter Primrose Hill LoveChild. She was a gift for Lana and we absolutely adore her!

Hallie was bred by my Dairy Godmother (see what I did there!?) Lorene Toth over at Sunnydale Farm. Lorene has become a mentor and good friend and I just don’t have the words to describe how much I admire her breeding program. Year after year she produces consistent, high-quality animals that excel in every category.

Our intent is to focus line-breeding in our herd on a select few does who meet our goals of ADGA total performers. Hallie’s dam SGCH Sunnydale Farm J Hope 3*M EEEE91 is one of those. You’ll find her in Hallie’s, Nigel’s, Nightingale’s, Nicolas’, and LoveChild’s pedigrees.

Tolly @ 1yr 5mos

Tolly is a doe I really am excited about. I chose an outcross for her that worked very well! She is an improvement over her dam and at her LA as a yearling with the highest score possible being an 89 she, scored VVVV86. She was a growthy kid just like her dam and freshened as a yearling with twins easily. She has very nice spring of rib, is flat boned and very dairy but still stays in good condition without having to modify her feeding regimen. Easy keepers are my favorite!!! Tolly was shown in 3 rings in 2021 and placed second in her class in all 3. She is one to watch for sure. If you’re looking for a total performance nigerian dwarf, Tolly is a great one!
