Wow... check out that very impressive udder!!  "A picture speaks a thousand words"

Her owner, Joanne Karohl, states: "Greatly increased capacity this time (first test day 5.4 pounds milk; averaging 4.8 pounds per day at 75 days), but still the same nice attachments."

DOB: 3/04/07 (twin) 

Fun loving Calli, with the same sweet disposition as her dam (looks AND cries like her too! If only I could stop calling her Zee!).  Level, long neck, nice width, nice leg set, beautiful, feminine face.  Calli came to live here at approximately 3 weeks young.  I used to bring her in every day to nap with me (I think I enjoyed it more than she did).  She loves attention and affection.  When I sit low to the ground, Calli will put both front legs (curled under) on my chest and I know she's hugging me.  I just love this little doe! Her sire, Dragonfly IH Orbit , will be a buck to be reckoned with, I think!  He is currently a herd sire at God's Love Farm.

Dealya's dam is Old Mountain Farm Dubonnet; Old Mountain Farm's first homegrown Master Champion.  Dealya is so refined and eloquent.  A beautiful "dairy" body, long and very level, pretty face, long neck and such a good friend!! She is "my girl"!  Shy with strangers, but so well behaved.  A great mother too!  She has a lovely personality and is very smart and patient.  She tells you she's though on the milk stand by tapping her left foot.  She reminds me of a little black stallion... very sleek and dignified.  We can't dismiss her wonderful pedigree, either!  She has excellent manners on the milk stand and easy to milk with large orifices; though her teats do point out slightly.

Mer-Zee was one of the first goats to come live here at Humble Acres Farm; she was just 7 weeks old.  She had such a wonderful and sweet disposition; very calm, but could "hold her own".  She now resides at Whitbred Farm and continues to receive the same loving care as she did here.  See her 2007 daughter, Old Mountain Farm Callisto.

Flat Rocks Meshach *D

Sire:  MCH Flat Rocks Flash 'E'  ( 
Dam:  Willow Creek Holy Smoke (  

DOB: 10/7/1995 - 12/8/2008 

Per Sue Brennan: "This picture doesn't begin to show what a lovely doe Meshach is, nor how horribly unhappy she was at being photographed!  Nonetheless, she cooperated *somewhat* <g>, although her attributes aren't shown well.  This doe is deep and wide, and has a near perfect mammary system.  I'd have to say that Meshach probably has the highest rear udder in my herd.  Her udder has incredible lateral attachment, perfectly placed plumb teats, and tons of capacity.  Her udder's only weakness is the foreudder - she has a shelf and could use more extension.  Oh well - she's still a huge asset to the herd!  I did make an attempt at showing Meshach, which I'll never do again.  She was stressed out more than I've ever seen, bloated up and basically flipped out.  

 

At 13 yrs. old, Meshach is still going strong.  This crazy old goat has become one of my all time favorites.   It appears that this old gal's reproducing days are long past, but she's more than welcome to live out a life of leisurely retirement right here - she's earned it."

Retired; Meshach died in her sleep the morning of Dec. 8, 2008 - a long life, well-lived.

Dragonfly DR Senna (polled) - Sale Pending

Sire:  Flat Rocks Diamond Rio 'E' 90.2 (Flat Rocks Gem x Flat Rocks Holy Terror)

Dam:  Dragonfly M Kestrel 'VG' (Piddlin Acres SC Maestro E x MCH Dragonfly Calliope *D E)

DOB  5/10/06 (quad)  Senna gets herd award for her nice udder and independence.

Senna is a very strong, correct doe.  She is the most independent and unassuming doe I've ever owned, and she is the only one that has been able to figure out how to open all the grain pailsSenna hates chaos and will go to great lengths to avoid it.  She is very petite, still, at almost 1 1/2 years old.  "Her half sister by Funny Cide, First Flight, earned her GCH Jr leg as a yearling and promptly freshened with a very nice udder--she was unbeaten in her class in 8 straight shows as a yearling first freshener.

Sunni Florence states this: "I think this doe has tremendous potential. Nice and high, tight, you can see the medial but it doesn't really stand out yet, nicely placed teats and moderate capacity--rather than one with tremendous capacity, deep medial, huge teats, etc. In our experience does like this one turn out to be the does that make the long haul. Their udders improve with every freshening, and they still have an exceptional mammary at 13 years old. This is the sort of udder I look for in my first freshening does. All of the correct elements are there." 

Senna's udder is very soft with very easy to milk teats and collapses down to nothing. Joanne of Dragonfly Farm states: "The udder is extremely well attached and structurally very sound. She has a very well extended, horizontal fore udder; that reflects a very well constructed medial that attaches well forward and a very high tight rear udder." 

VERY well attached second freshening udder, though her teats could be larger and definitely more plumb.

This doe is absolutely stunning; looong, feminine face, good feet and legs, nice angulation... all around nice! Very dairy with easy to milk teats and lots of milk.

Nighting Bug's sire is none other than the infamous Stonewall's Raising Arizona, with the dam being Gay-Mor's Fleet Kricket 3*D AR. Gay-Mor's Lucky Magnolia's sire being MCH Twin Creeks LS Luck of the Draw * S E. with the dam being ARMCH Goodwood Trillium *D AR. I'm very pleased, indeed, to have this lovely progeny here at Humble Acres.

Thank you, Peggy, for the opportunity to add this beautiful doe to my herd!!

D.O.B.  3/13/05

Wild is very petite at about 19 inches tall, but Wild's breeder, Joanne states: "Still milked respectably in the brief period she was able to be on test. She has absolutely terrific teats."

I have been wanting this beautiful and stunning doe to add to my herd for a couple of years, so here she is, and here she will stay... co-owned with Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm. I know it hurt Joanne to see her leave, but she also knows she's in good hands here.

I'm not sure how many of her kids will leave, so if you have an interest, please get your reservation in early.
