Sire: Six M Galaxy Leonardo *B SS: SG Six-M-Galaxy Galileo ++*B (Elite Sire) SD: SG Six M Galaxy Red Sunrise 14*M (Top Ten & Elite Doe) Dam: SG Six M Galaxy Isabelle Darlene 11*M (Elite Doe - 88 EVEV) 2008 Elite Doe - 99% DS: Six M Galaxy Desmond ++*B DD: SG Six-M-Galaxy Galina Darlene 10*M (Top Ten & Elite Doe) Splash was our first USDA-DHIR Elite Sire who also had the INBA Outstanding Sire Award under his belt. He was a sweet, gentle buck even in rut. He left us with some wonderful sons and daughters to carry on his legacy of high milk production, easy going personality and solid physical build. He is missed as much on a personal level as on any other.
Ranger is line bred on Top Ten Doe, The DL Cup Cake. Cup Cake wasn't on DHIR until she was 11 years old and that's when she made Top Ten. She was 14 years old when she kidded with her last litter and finally retired from the milking string, but she wasn't having any trouble producing and maintaining her weight even at that age. Ranger's dam earned her milk star, remained in milk over 400 days and earned her Superior Genetics award as a first freshener and she’s peaked at 18 pounds a day on official milk test in subsequent freshenings. Ranger has already shown that he produces easy to milk does that are easy keepers with sweet personalities. We're excited about the longevity and production we hope Ranger will add to our herd as well.

G6S Normal, Disbudded Sire: Crow’s Dairy Prince Danny *B SS: SG Six M Galaxy Noel’s Comet +B (Elite Sire, son of Top Ten doe) SD: SG Black Mesa Cory’s Shelly Dee 4*M (Elite Doe, daughter of Top Ten doe) Dam: Windsong Farm Heidrun 13*M DS: Bulletcreek Benchmark *B DD: Six M Galaxy Obe’s Bella 12*M (89VVEV @ 10-02, Elite Doe) Prince came to us from Headway Nubian Goats in New Mexico. He’s a handsome, sweet natured buck with a stellar pedigree to match his flashy coat. We are hoping he will add length and height to our lines with lots of milk.
Loner is a combination of some of our best genetics in one buck. We really had no intention of keeping a home bred buck, but he sort of grew on us and the more we thought about it, the more excited we were about using him to line breed on Sunshine and Splash. We have not regretted that decision as his offspring have been gorgeous and milk well. We sent him to a couple of other herds for a few years and we were so excited to have him back!
Linn Farm's General Zebulon is the grandson of two time Top Ten doe, Ronco Farm Windy Ebony and Veteran's Tia's Traveller, whose dam also made the Top Ten multiple times. His maternal grandparents are half siblings sired by Bulletcreek Boquet who was the result of an AI breeding using a buck born in 1982, GCH Nestucca Bracken's Bo-K ++*B. Zeb is a nice blend of current and old fashioned milky lines and he was selected specifically to line breed on Ronco Farm Windy Ebony. We plan to use him for some fall breedings before he leaves. It's been a while since we had a Linn Farm's buck around and this guy is extra special because of the Ronco Farm and AI breedings in his immediate background.
