FLAT ROCKS GOLDEN BERYL--Polled

 |
| FLAT ROCKS GOLDEN BERYL--POLLED! (Flat Rocks Gem x HBF LS Sunflower)--DOB: 4/06--"Goldie" is a full sibling to our beloved Snicket. She arrived with our surprise junior buck, Gatorade, from Flat Rocks--many thanks to Sunni for her generosity. Goldie is very refined and dairy, with a great deal of body capacity. She is also sweet, sweet, sweet. Photo at Age Two Years. |

Being the product of a breeding that produced our beloved Snicket in 2005--see his story at the bottom of our main "Sales" page--as well as a gift from Sunni, Goldie is very special to us. She has matured beautifully, and is a long, angular, and elegant junior doe with a quiet and gentle personality. Genetically, she shows lots of promise too, being a daughter of the late Gem, who produced many stunning daughters (and udders!), and of HBF Sunflower, littermate sister to MCH Clementine--a beautiful doe, productive in the milk pail and aging wonderfully--at Twin Creeks.
2011 BREEDING PLANS: Goldie will be bred to Rosasharn Tom's Water Tabby*S, for a crossing of Kingwood and Gem lines. We'd like to see Tabby tighten up shoulders in Goldie's kids, our only critique of an otherwise lovely doe with tons of mammary potential.

Barring some totally unexpected genetic aberration, it's hard to see how this stunning junior could be anything but stellar as a late first freshener in 2011. Being the product of beautiful multiple award-winning parents, Acadia represents an quality mix of strong show and milk genetics. She is especially prized for her uniqueness because her sire's death in 2010 negates any chance of a repeat. As we see it, Acadia's only drawback is that she is a wild-and-crazy girl. However, both her pedigree and good looks go a long way toward redeeming Acadia in our eyes and we are very happy to have her here as our only Halifax offspring...Expecting great things in the future!
2011 BREEDING PLANS: Service sire is NC PromisedLand RC Stormy*S*B, for a combo of old Stonewall and more recent Rosasharn lines...Expecting long and elegant kids with excellent mammary and milk potential.
