The Boys

Rumpelstiltskin is our first retained BREWFM buck. He is top & bottom SG NC PROMISEDLAND MG BEAU, Ranked 2nd in PTI21. Goldie, our founding doe and best milker is his dam. His sire, Rebel Acres SP Tanqueray is producing some really nice kids for us. We are looking forward to working him back into our herd. We have two of his Maternal Brother's girls in our herd. They have been slow to reach their potential, but they are keepers. He definitely has his dam's sweet calm & quiet temperament. Our little Rumpel is always wanting to be picked up. As a kid he was content to be carried around like a limp rag doll, even at nine months old. Rumpel & Gold were our most adorable mother son pair we have had. They have the same mannerism, it is uncanny.

Rumpel is a beautiful butterscotch gold just like his dam with a bit of white. He also a good sized visible dark tan moonspot. It is on his chest just under his front legs. He is everything we try to breed for, awesome lap dog temperament & great milking udders. His pedigree not too shabby either. He is a solid goat & proved it at our 2025 Linear Appraisal with a FS87 (VVE ) @ 02-06. He received an E in Feet! His fronts are better than his rear but that might change as he matures. I can't quite remember the appraiser's explanation, but something to do with his hip rotation. It is hard to keep in mind he is only two and a half, as he is massive. He also received V's in Head, Shoulder Assembly & Back. He scored a Body Depth of 42. He might eventually best his sire in that category, but Tonic has a BD of 45.

Rumpel's first kids in 2024 are just as beautiful. He was bred to Nella Bella, one of our more dairy dainty girls. We were hoping for kids with a bit more strength in without losing dairyness and that is what we got. Stella Bella, Rumpel's first daughter, blew us away at our 2025 Linear Appraisal. She scored a FS84 (VGVG) @ 01-07 as a First Freshener. She received an E in Shoulder Assembly. Stella also had V's in Head, Front & Rear Legs. She scored a 37 in Body Depth as a yearling! Rumpel's 2025 daughters seem to be on the same trajectory as Stella. It is going to be so much fun watching them mature.

Tickety Boo is the result of our first foray into Artificial Insemination. He was the result of a much-agonized Linear Match Up. We were also very cognizant of Inbreeding Coefficients when selecting his sire. Tickey Boo has a Kintracks 10 generation inbreeding coefficient of 2.626%. We were looking to improve on his dam's Rump Angle & Rump Width. Agape's Prize Goldie Cox is currently ranked 5th in Rump Angle & 4th in Rump Width by Trait Average. It will be a long wait to see if we have achieved what we have hoped for in this breeding.

Wood Bridge Farm 22K Gold, Cox's Dam, is the 2021 ADGA National Champion. Cox is also the sire of the 2023 ADGA Spotlight Sale Buckling, Agape's Prize Gold Frenchman. Strong structural scores from his Dam, Sire & Sire's Dam are why we settled on Cox. 22K Gold has a RA of 32, RW of 40 with a V in Rump. Cox has 8 daughters w/nine appraisals. They average 32.2 in Rump Angle & 33.1 in Rump Width. Cox's Old Mountian lines compliment our buck, Rapha's Old Mountian Lines nicely. This match up also allows us to bring back in some more show oriented Wood Bridge lines to the herd.

Lola, Tickety's Dam, has been a late bloomer. She has the best mammary system in my herd, and it just keeps improving every lactation. In 2025, Lola was evaluated under ode 99. We had to dry Lola off early due to a front leg injury that is now almost healed. Our Appraiser said her slight limp was barely noticeable. She even commented on how nice her mammary system looked even dry. Lola received E's in Front Legs, Rear Legs & Back. She also earned V's in Head, Shoulder Assembly & Feet. Lola's sire is out of my milkiest line, E K Farms Goldfinch. Lola's dam, Lilly has very strong milk lines. Lilly's sire & full brother have earned their Superior Genetics.

Tickey's first kids will be hitting the ground in Spring 2026. He will be bred to our doe, Brewfm RR Sarsaparilla. She is out of our Mockingbird dam line that has a strong Wood Bridge line.

Tonic is Swiss marked with a minimal white and slight roaning on his hind legs. His light tan legs have darkened to a lovely reddish brown. He has fantastic milking & show lines. Tonic comes from a strong performing Paternal Line. Sire, SS, SSS & SDS all have earned their +B or +S. This is one of the reasons we purchased Tonic along with his dam's 2 CH Legs & LA results at 3 years old. Tonic is so calm and sweet. He is the first to greet visitors at the gate. He follows me like a puppy dog when I'm in the buck enclosure, looking for scratches.

Tonic also carries two copies of the A Variant for Alpha-s1 Casein. Some feel that the A Variant is associated with the highest fat content in milk. I guess this will be confirmed as more testing is done on goats. We have noticed this to be true with some of our does who are A/A. This means he will always pass one on to his offspring. Tonic does have a negative ETA index, he just acquired in 2021. Keep in mind the measure of a buck is how is kids do. None of Tonic's kids been Shown or gone on DHIR Test. He has had four daughters and one son appraise in 2023 & 2025. To learn more about PTI/ETA Indexes in our herd click on the link.

Tonic missed out on 2021 LA's due to a tattoo mishap. We did not have time to get his registration certificate updated to show the mistake. 2023 LA's didn't work or for Tonic again. One of his tattoos was not completely legible & his registration certificate showed his tattoos in the incorrect ears! He was appraised but was not given a final score. We were planning on selling Toinc but based on his Linear Trait & Structural Scores we will be keeping him. He scored within the Ideal Range on 5 of the 7 Linear Categories he was appraised on & received 3 E's in Structural Categories! Based on his scores I would venture to say he might have scored in the high 80's for a FS. Tonic did get coded for weak pasterns. Working with our vet, Tonic is getting BoSe injections. His pasterns have improved dramatically & it has done wonders for his libido.

2025 was not Tonic's year to be appraised yet again. His certificate still does not match the tattoos in his ears. I will need to contact my ADGA representative to sort out how to get this corrected as I have tried twice, and not been successful. Maybe our third try will pay off. Our appraiser strongly suggest we get this sorted and have the herd appraised next year. Appraiser felt Tonic was an Exceptional buck and would have scored him a 90 or 91! Unfortunately, that will not be possible as he is over breed height limit. That is a breed specific disqualification for Excellent in Final Score & Appearance. The highest he could receive would be FS89 (VEE ).

Tonic seems to be a Buck sire. His son's are consistently really nice. Tonic seems to pass on his strong structural traits to his kids. Most notably his beautiful Head, Body Depth & Excellent Rump. Seems like his girls are late bloomers like Tonic, but his son's are outstanding right out the door. Tonic's 1st Daughter, Mags, is a beautiful swiss marked doe with amazing structural confirmation. In 2023 Mags received a FS85 (VEEG) 03-04 2F w/ E's in Legs Rear, Back & Rump. Mags' first daughter scored a FS82 (GGGG) 01-06 FF, w/V's in all Structural Categories.

We are liking Tonic so much that we have retained our first BREWFM buck, his son BREWFM RUMPELSTILTSKIN, FS87 (VVE ) @ 02-06 w/43 in Body Depth. He scored an E in Feet & V's in Head, Shoulder Assembly & Back. Rumpel's first daughter appraised with a FS85 (VGVG) @ 01-07 FF w/E in Shoulder Assembly; V's in Head, Front Legs, Rear Legs & a Body Depth of 37. As we are having such sucess with Rumpel's & his kids we have decided to retire Tonic after the 2025 Breeding Season. He was bred to Kastor, who I cannot breed to Rumpel for 2026 kids. We also have pleanty of straws in the tank.
