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!

Sako is another amazing buck that I just can't say how grateful I am to add his genetics to my breeding program.  20 years ago, ARMCH Twin Creeks Bay Watch ++B was a legend and the buck that everyone was talking about.  Through the science (and maybe a little magic) of AI, Sako's sire was born- the son of Bay Watch x SGCH Phoenix Farm Summer Bird!

Looking up the dam's side of the pedigree is really just as wonderful.  

Sako is well within height of the ND standard, stands on correct legs, and has a beautiful long body.  He is also very sweet and laid back- just a total joy to have.

B/B variant for alpha-S1 casein- high production for protein and milk fat!

DSD: Poppy Patch RC Kitty Foyle

DD: SG Old Mountain Farm IDA Hot One

DDS: NC Promisedland SS Hotstuff

DDD: Enchanted Hill Ida

This mammary system is simply one of the best I've ever seen.  From the teat size, teat placement, capacity, and overall attachments, this doe is truly amazing!  Of course, she is also a very dairy animal that scored a 91 on LA so Order is the whole package.

FX is littermate sister to Sako and owned by Winning Streak Farm.  She is a carbon copy of her dam, Order, and has the gorgeous conformation and mammary system of her dam.  I love to see such consistency and can only hope that we can create a doe as nice as this.

In this photo, you can see Ida's general conformation that is so much like her daughter's (Order) and granddaughter's (FX).  I'm guessing that beautiful cou clair coloring comes from her Promisedland sire.... and maybe those beautiful mammary systems too.

Summer Bird is another beautiful doe that exudes dairy strength.  Of course, more Twincreeks and Promisedland genetics are at play in this exeptional doe's breeding.

Terre Haute Farm Jackson is a long and wide buck who stands on straight legs and has genetics that is some of the best in the Nigerian Dwarf breed!  

His sire's full brother SG Old Mountain Farm Elton Jay +B and two full sisters, SG/GCH Creeping Thyme Farm Thelma 2*M, Old Mountain Farm Jewel 2*M have all earned their ADGA Elite designation!

On his other side of the pedigree is the only homegrown herdsire from my first farm, Moxie Blues Farm Atticus Finch.  He was the only buckling that I allowed to remain intact and went on to sire CH Secondwind Banana Fritter.

DDS: Twin Creeks MF Pairie Hawk *S (MCH Raha Acres Twink's Pixie son)

DDD: Twin Creeks BH Homemade Vanilla 1*M 1*D 'E (Twin Creeks Braveheart daughter)

Bombahook Acres Farm was the farm that I sent my keeper buckling, Atticus Finch, when I had to sell all my goats for the move from Maine to Missouri.  The owner of the farm had some really lovely animals from Old Mountain Farm and Twin Creeks Farm and she produced some beautiful offspring.  Liz was one of those beautiful does that lived a long and productive life in a non-show herd.  I am told that she had a beautiful udder which makes sense considering her pedigree.

Cody's full brother SG Old Mountain Farm Elton Jay +B and two full sisters, SG/GCH Creeping Thyme Farm Thelma 2*M, Old Mountain Farm Jewel 2*M have all earned their ADGA Elite designation! His 1/2 brother NC Promisedland SS Deviant was the #1 Elite buck in 2017 and his 1/2 sister Creeping Thyme Farm Delores was the AGS National Champion in 2021!

Is there a doe that's made such a huge impact on the Nigerian Dwarf breed as SG NC Promisedland MG Diva 1*M?  I really don't think so.  This beautiful doe has progeny that fill the ADGA Elite lists year after year.

Being a granddaughter of the infamous AGS MCH Raha Acres Twink's Pixie 1*D 'E and  Twin Creeks Brave Hart +S 'E, how could Betty be anything but beautiful?

 This blue eyed beauty has a pedigree chock full of animals that I love.  Her first freshening udder is absolutely beautiful with a nice high rear udder, great attachments, and plumb teats.
