Old Mountain Farm Derby Winner- SOLD

 DOB: 7/19/2018

Sired out of Lost Valley Legacy *S*B and out of Kyeema Ridge MS Black Shadow.   As if the combination of Lost Valley and Rosasharn genetics aren't enough, this little guy's dam is out of  Morning Star NR Moonshine- a littermate brother to a beloved goat that used to reside in my former Moxie Blues Farm (Morning Star NR Rosebud).  This connection makes Maritime's Legacy feel like a long lost family member.

  One just has to look at Black Shadow's udder (not filled in the picture above) to see the capacity, amazing MSL, and plumb/ plump milkable teats.  This collapsible udder is a dream to milk and one that I'd love to see in future progeny at American Jewell Farm.

Receiving her Superior Genetics designation, Rosasharn Peppercorn is a gorgeous doe with a beautiful well attached udder.  Again, the medial suspensory ligament is noteworthy as are the plumb teats with large orifices.  Photo of SG Rosasharn KB Pepper Corn courtesy of Kyeema Ridge Farm.

 A heavy linebreeding on Gay-Mor RA Kingwood ++*S, Laura Whitlock of Dawnland Farm writes of Legacy: 

"Legacy represents the best of the best of the old time Nigerian lines that were pivotal in developing these little goats into dairy animals. Although it seems like yesterday in my mind's eye, many of Legacy's forebears date back to the 1990's. Legacy was used for 2018 kids--and his two daughters and two sons are stunning. It's obvious that he is a strong general appearance buck with all of his kids showing improvement in width, top lines, legs/feet. Although Legacy is a small and refined buck, probably due to the degree of his line breeding, he adds stature and strength to his offspring."  We have one of those daughters (Dawnland America Jewell) along with Mariner Legacy and are thrilled to watch her grow here at American Jewell Farm.

 I asked Amy Kowalik to describe Nickita and this is what she shared:  "My Nickita girl is powerful, yet dairy, beautifully blended on all areas of the score card with sharp shoulders, long/ level body, beautifully attached mammary system that is very snug but capacious, beautiful medial with great fore and rear udder attachments."  Picture above is of Nickita's dam ARMCH Lost Valley KW Nala 4*D 3*M, courtesy of Amy Kowalik, Lost Valley Nigerians.

This doe represents an amazing milking pedigree from Old Mountain Farm & Painted Pepper lines.   Old Mountain Farm Bold Elk is well known for producing the 2017 ADGA National Champion and Best Udder, CH Old Mountain Farm Merriment as well as the 2018 ADGA Reserve National Champion, SGCH Old Mountain Farm Shy Elk. Just look at all those Superior Genetics in the first two generations of this pedigree!  Really, how could I resist bringing this girl to Missouri? 

 Honey Lemon's first freshening udder was everything we hoped it would be and more!  Between her conformation, gorgeous udder, and sweet personality, this doe is one of our favorites!  The photo above is of Kodie Bradley - her first time ever showing a goat and I knew Honey Lemon would be the perfect goat.  Kodie did a beautiful job showing her and Honey Lemon was the perfect lady.

Painted Pepper Farm was the first strictly Nigerian Dwarf organic dairy farm in the country and was primarily built off of Old Mountain Farm goats.    As such, their focus was entirely on milk production and dairy character.  Lemon Meringue is a beautiful example of what Painted Pepper has produced: a deep bodied doe with a soft capacious udder with 2" teats that are a dream to milk.

Bold Elk is a force to be reckoned with.  Sire to the 2017 ADGA National Champion and Best Udder (Old Mountain Farm Merriment) and the 2018 ADGA Reserve National Champion (SGCH Old Mountain Farm Shy Elk), Bold Elk also has other offspring that are excelling in the showring and milk pail.  The best measure of a herdsire's worth is on the consistency of high quality offspring that he produces and this guy is proving to be priceless!

NC Promisedland Nemesis "Sissy" is the full package milking goat.  Her topline, strength in brisket, length/ depth of body, and beautiful udder are characteristics that we would love to see in our own herd. Of course, her pedigree is  chock full of famous Nigerian Dwarf goats such as: ARMCH Rosasharn’s Tiger L, ARMCH Goodwood Water Lilly, ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb, ARMCH Stonewall’s Little Luli, ARMCH Rosasharn’s Elfin, ARMCH Goodwood Kauri Tree, Gay-Mor Berry’s Johnny Jump Up, and more!

 Dawnland CDR Ambrosia represents the culmination of two decades of breeding by Laura Carye at Dawnland Farm and offers some of her best-ever genetics.  This beautiful doe is elegant, correct on her feet and legs, and has one of the most beautiful mammary systems that I've ever had in my herd.  The udder photo shown was with my once a day milking (thanks to my full time nurse job).  This doe is a show stopper and I am excited to build a herd with foundation genetics like this!

Littermate sister to Dawnland RR Whirligig, Little Bee is a gorgeous doe who has excelled in the show ring and the milk pail.  At the 2022 ADGA Nationals, Little Bee placed 6th place in her class of aged does.

Dovey is absolutely a stunning doe that should do well, both, in the show ring and in the milk pail.  Her first freshening in 2022 was of a large single buckling that she had trouble delivering.  I loaded her up in the back of my Bronco to take her to the vet and on the drive there, I heard the snuffling sounds of a newborn kid.  When I pulled over on the interstate, I saw the most beautiful (and large!) buckling that I named G.O.A.T. Mode.  :)  Dovey's ff udder was perfect in every way and I can't wait to see how she matures this Spring.

Dovey's ff udder was really quite beautiful and everything was exactly where it was supposed to be.  I've learned to be patient with ff udders like hers and fully expect that I will see her full potential in 2023-2024.  

Just look!   I mean, an LA score of 91 says it all but I'm just focused on this udder!  Even though I had the distinct opportunity to use Beau Geste for a breeding season at my farm, I sold some of my own homegrown kids and kept Dovey.  Why would I do that?  This udder!

I have long been a fan of Old Mountain Farm JustPlainEd, so, when I was given the opportunity to be his forever home, I was so very honored.  He is the sire to our does: Old School Creamery Annie Bies (amazing udder that you have to see!), Old Mountain Farm Love Bug, and Old Mountain Farm Squid Ink.  I've seen several of his daughters in other herds who have beautiful, well attached mammary systems and I'm so very excited to see where he takes our herd. He is definitely a buck to build a herd on.

I have to thank Wyl and Cheryle Moore-Smith for their friendship, kindness, generosity, mentoring, as well as their passion for this special breed of goats.

Cheryle says of Ed's dam, "Old Mountain Farm Millet was a beautiful doe who moved to another farm after kidding here. Despite her only once a day milkings here, and a stressful 18 hour truck ride, she stepped off the transport truck, walked into her first three show rings as a six-year-old and easily became a finished champion. The first time in full hair coat only a couple of hours after arriving at her destination."

When Julie Mannix was kind enough to send Old Mountain Farm Anna Jay and her three daughters to me, I had a difficult time picking which doeling to retain and which to move into other homes.   The best compliment to a buck is their beautiful progeny and  Annie was my "gateway" to understanding Ed's value.

I just love the outline of this doe!  No doubt, this is where the chocolate smoky color comes in amongst his gold coat.

Both of his grandsires are this very beautiful and influential buck!
