Paidir pictured as a 2 year old first freshener

When Paidir (Irish Gaelic for “prayer”) was born I shed happy grateful tears! Her dam Purple Ribbon’s Macushla 3*M VEEE90 has been a bit stingy with the doe kids and the two others she has had in the past met their fate under sad, unexpected circumstances. I held my breath as this little one grew up but she has blossomed into a beautiful and promising doe. Paidir is very milky ranking 81st percentile as a first freshener and I feel in mammary excels her dam specifically in her medial suspensory ligament. Paidir’s sire, Sunnydale Farm RJ Nigel brings many of my favorite does to the table here and strengthens the loose line-breeding on Tupelo and Zenith I was looking for from the cross. He also brings Sunnydale Farm J Hope EEEE91 in who is behind Hallie, Nightingale, Reese, Neve and Saiorse as well 🙂

Macushla 3*M EX90

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 excels in more than just the show ring as she has a ton of milk potential and high LA scores behind her.

In 2024, Mac exceeded both dam and sire’s LA scores and was 90th percentile (top 10 percent production for the breed)!

Hallie 4*M AR EX91

September 13, 2021 / ashjones03 / 0 Comments

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, Nightingale’s and Nigel’s pedigrees.
