Goldenbrook Farm Senior Does
|
SHOWN OLDEST TO YOUNGEST
My does are all unique in there own ways, each becoming a special member of the herd. They have all been raised on our farm and all but 1 now has been born here. We maintain a closed doe herd to protect our herd's health and well-being. A closed herd means that since beginning, we have not brought in any other does, instead have bred and raised all the members of our herd here on our farm. We improve our herd through our bucks. Our bucks are from a very limited number of outside herds who are healthy and disease-free.

Strawberry is my daughter, Sarah’s baby. She is a full sister to Periwinkle and has also had a great show season finishing up with Reserve Grand Champion (to her sister). She is also a well put together doe with very strong conformation. She is a bit more feminine and refined than her sister. She has a frosted nose and ears and a pretty white belt.

Sweet is my son, Joey’s doe. She is a pretty white gold with blue eyes and very feminine. She has a nice body with plenty of depth in her barrel and a strong front-end assembly. Her top line is uphill with a nice smoothly blended shoulder and level in the chine and loin. Her legs are straight, although her toes do tend to turn out a bit. I’d also like to see more incurving of her thigh. Her udder is capacious, balanced and has a large area of attachment. Her teat are properly placed, shaped and delineated. Overall she is a nice doe and my son is very proud!

TOP-Minnie's 2nd freshening BOTTOM- Minnie as a kid |

MINNIE BLUE
D.O.B.: 6 June 2004(quints-2/does, 3/bucks)
Sire: Honeysuckle Ridge DK Blue
(Ponders End DG Pillico X Prairie Woods Blue Socks)
Dam: Oakdale’s Cleopatra
(OTR Magic’s M Hercules X Rosasharn’s Easter Bunny)
Minnie doesn’t really know she is a goat and spends most of her time following me around. Her mother rejected her at birth because she was born with retracted ligaments in her forelegs. There just wasn’t enough space inside of mom for all five kids! We bottle raised her, did daily physical therapy and made walking splints from Popsicle sticks for her. Today you would never know that she used to walk like a spider! We have held off breeding Minnie because she was the smallest kid of the quintuplets and thought she needed more time to develop.
She is small, but a well built doe. A nice topline, open ribs, loose dairy skin and an incredible milker for such a small doe with nicely divided udder halves.

I actually sold this doe and then was happy to purchase her back a month later when her new owner was unable to keep her. Boy am I glad I did! Daisy is the most smoothly blended doe I have seen. She has all of the same strengths as Kiki but with more width throughout. She also has pretty blue eyes. Her udder is capacious, well attached and balanced. She really fills up her rear udder!

GOLDENBROOK FARM BIT OF HEAVEN
ADGA/AGS Dual Registered
D.O.B.: 5 May 2006 (triplets-3/does)
Dam: Goldenbrook Farm Bittersweet
(Rosasharn’s Tom F’U’lery *S X Oakdale’s Cleopatra)
Sire: Rosasharn FS Merlin
(MCH Twin Creeks WB Fire Storm *S X Rosasharn’s UK Witch Hazel)
This doe just says DAIRY. She has a very long, deep body, nice length between her hip and pin bone and width and levelness from thurl to thurl. Open ribbed and prominent dairy vertebrae. She has a nice uphill stance and a nice long dairy neck. If I had to fix one thing it would be her shoulder blades, which could be tighter with less movement. Her markings are ususually pretty too! She is a light fawn with splashes of gray and white. If you look at her back from above, she has a perfect crescent and star! Her dam is one of my favorite milkers, both for the quantity of milk she produces and the ease in which her udder milks out.
3rd Freshening Update! She is my #1 producing doe in my herd-absolutely wonderful!

Sire: Rosasharn's Tom F'U'lery (ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb+*S X Rosasharn’s Baby USA*D)
Dam: Goldenbrook Farm Sweet S'prise (Oakdale's Cleopatra X Honeysuckle Ridge DK Blue)
This is my son's doe and he's very excited. Beautiful cream-gray buckskin with a black cape and blue eyes. I'm excited to have another Tom F'U'lery daughter for my herd! I am very excited about her first freshening udder, plenty of capacity, well attached, nice and high, and easy to milk. Her udder is smoother into her eschucheon on her second freshening and her capacity has increased. She is a wonderful mom to her kids.

Goldenbrook Farm M ShastaDaisy
ADGA/AGS Dual Registered
D.O.B. 7-4-08
Goldenbrook Farm Daisy B Blue X Rosasharn FS Merlin
A rich gold with white (not to mention the intials "EJ" on her side) and gray moonspots with blue eyes. I love the depth and width on this doe. Very open and dairy. Her dam is an amazing milker and I expect her to be as well.
Her first freshening udder in UNBELIEVABLE!!! She has great capacity, very strong and tight attachments all around, both side and medial, easy to milk teats (larger than Daisy's) and a dream my daughter and I milked her for the first time together-she didn't mind at all!. I would like to see more udder division as she's a bit flat on her udder floor, but overall I am exrtemely pleased and looking forward to her second freshening.
