The Girls

Kastor is a sweetheart, but our herd bully. She is a Chamoisee/Buckskin Roan with minimal white & moonspots. We discovered her spots June 2021 when she was given a show clip for LA's. She was the first of Jacobim's girls on the stand. We were surprised when we switched to a milking machine and her volume almost doubled! Kastor holds back quite a bit of milk for her kids. She has tested A/B for AlphaS1-Casein. Kastor's dam, Grinny, was line bred AJUD LD SENOR BANDIDO *S. Grinny, her dam & sire were all registered AGS. We also owned Kastor's maternal brother, The UD SOL, and have a few of his granddaughter's in the herd. Sol was one of those goats I should have kept.

Kastor held her own at 2021 Linear's. Her sire, Goldie's boy, vastly improved Kastor's udder over her dam. In Udder Side she scored 12 points higher, in Udder Height 10 points higher & 9 points higher in Medial & Rear Arch compared to her dam. At 2021 LA's, Kastor was terrified in a new place and was uneasy walking around when presented. Appraiser commented that it was hard to evaluate her since she was moving so awkwardly, envision a goat Frankenstein walk. Feels like she can score higher if she were being appraised at home. Her udder is not her strongest asset, but she seems conformationally correct.

Well we right about Kastor, we had LA's on our farm in 2023 and she was just perfect for the appraiser. Kastor scored a FS88 (VEEG) under a very tough but fair appraiser. She scored an average of 5 points higher in Linear Categories over her 2021 appraisal. Kastor also received and E in Rump & Rear Legs. Couldn't be happier for her, we have always thought she was very nice goat. To see full Linear & Structural category scores for our herd, click on the Linear Appraisal link below.

Lola has the prettiest little face. She is such a quiet sweet goat. We thought she was a Brown Light Belly but turns out she is a Brown Buckskin. She has heavily Frosted Ears, a Star, with some Random White and a bit of roaning on the shoulders & moonspots. Her spots are a dark brown which are impossible to see on an unclipped brown coat. She is a very dainty dairy doe.

Lola is our best on the milkstand. She is A/B for AlphaS1-Casein. We were not disappointed in score at 2021 LA. Lola was a very dainty not yet mature doe in 2021. Appraiser made sure to point that out to us before he gave us her score. Her then yearling daughter was larger than she was. Not sure where her dainty stature comes from as both her parents are dairy but robust. Lola's chest has broadened, and her body capacity increased in 2022. She is still very refined. Look forward to seeing how she improves on her score at our next LA. Lola's udder with quads in 2022 was huge! Just what she needed to push her to the next level. Her teat diameter has also increased dramatically, still nowhere near her Dam's.

2023 was just not Lola's year. Her udder was as expected on her 4th freshening, beautiful! We finally thought she would shine at LA's. But unfortunately, that was not to be...Murphy's Law...Lola had a difficult weaning of one of her boys. He was not sold prior to weaning & cried every waking hour for about 3 weeks, till he went to live with his brother. Poor Lola was distraught. Then the weather decided to get ungodly hot & humid, Heat Index over a 100 for about 9 days. Lola developed milk stones in both udders, and she started to dry up. I managed to bring her back by hand milking, but she looked pathetic. Luckily our appraiser agreed that it would not be a fair assessment of her. She did appraise her like the boys, but she did not receive a FS. Still very helpful information.

Lola did improve on her Linear & Structural scores from 2021, so we are pleased. She beat her dam in 5 of the 7 Linear Categories she was evaluated on. Lola's udder is really her strongest asset so to see her improve in other areas is just fabulous. I think she has a much nicer udder than her dam, who had a blemished udder so could only score a V in udder. Currently she has the best udder in our herd. We do have 5 junior does that freshened in 2025 & there a 2-3 that might eventually dethrone her, one is her 2024 daughter.

Lola is a late bloomer like her Paternal Sister, BREWFM KASTOR. Jacobim's girls are really nice goats, just very slow to hit their stride. They are actually just what one wants in a herd. They continually keep getting better overtime. We were hoping 2025 would finally be her LA to shine, but alas that is not to be. Lola injured her right leg on July 2nd. Our vet could not pinpoint what is actually wrong. We dried her off because getting on the milkstand was aggrevating her injury. Lola is almost healed. She has a very slight almost unnotacable limp in that leg.

2025 Linear Update...Lola was appraised again under Code 99. Honestly as I write this I am still in a bit in shock over all our results. The one standout of the day was Lola's partial appraisal. She exceeded our wildest expectations. Lola recieved an E in Front Legs, Rear Legs and Back. She recieved V's in Head, Shoulder Assembly & Feet. She recieved a Body Depth of 37. Lola honestly only needs improvemnet in Rear. Lola's stongest asset has always been her udder & that did not get appraised. She has such a beautiful Fore-udder Attachemnt & her teats are just the perfect size for hand or machine milking. Need to get her appraised in milk. She is just such a lovely goat. Lesson here is alway present all goats who can be appraised, even if they can be excused. The value the appraisal brings far out weighs any negatives. It is always helpful to get an experts opinion on your goats.

Rosa Bella is the spitting image of her 3/4 Sister, Leela! It was definately hard to choose which of Nella's three girls to retain. I would have loved to keep them all. They all have awesome temperments. We expect great things from this little one. Rosa is much more balance between Dairy & Strength than her dam. Rosa's DD was one of our last outcross doe we brought into the herd. Rosa has some very nice AGS lines from her Dam's Sire Sol. We also own Sol's Materinal sister BREWFM KASTOR. Her dam's udder is a huge improvement on her dam's. We expect Rosa to freshen with a even better udder. Can't wait to see it in 2025.

Rosa was an excellent first time mama. She raised twins with no issues. Her daughter, Tinkerbella was very tiny & weak at birth. Rosa was attentive & allowed us to milk her on the stand with no issues, awesome for a FF. This let us bottle feed her daughter for the first 36 hours. Rosa has a great temperment & is an easy keeper in the herd.

Really not sure how she will appraise. Her udder is not as nice as her dam's as a 2Y FF. She could use improvement in Fore-Udder. This is a bit odd for a Little daughter, as he usually improves in this area. Rosa has nice sized teats with large orifices. She is very easy to milk out by hand. Little's girls all do well on the milk stand. We am inclined to keep her in the herd even though I am fairly certian she will score in the low 80's at Linear Apparaisals. Rosa has good structual confirmation but weaker udder traits. She however is likely to be one of our top milkers. We have several girls like her in our herd. Not show goats but really nice longterm, no fuss milkers.

Well I am getting better at analizing my goats. Rosa's Linear Appriasal is in line with what I was thinking. Rosa was awarded a FS81 (GGVG) 02-07 FF. Her udder scores were better that I thought they'd be. Rosa did inherit her dam's nice teat placement. She also recieved a V in Rump and Feet. She has weak areas that will need improvent but nothing to extreme so that is good. Overall Rosa is right were I thought she would be. I expect her to score in mid 80's as a 2F four year old as we will not be freshening her again till 2027.

Selene has amazing coloring as is just so flashy! The white overlay runs on her dam & sire's sides, we were hoping for this result. The icing on the cake is she also has Chocolate Moonspot starting to show themselves on the black portions of her coat. Right now, this little one is all legs, but she also has a very nice top line. Not expecting her to be on the Big Girl side. She will likely be a smaller doe when mature like her dam. Selene did break her Left Rear leg at 20 days old but has made a full recovery. We cannot wait to see her udder.

She is a fourth generation Goldie Girl. She is the culmination of 8 years of breeding Promisedland Lines. Her dam is very petite & dairy breeding doe. We have owned her Dam, DD, DS, DDD, DSD & DDDD. She has seven consecutive Mother to Daughter LA Scores. Her sire is our newest Top & Bottom bred Promisedland Diva buck, Rapha. Selene also has a low Kintraks 10 generation inbreeding coefficient of 1.912%. For those of you who study these, you know this is low. Looking forward to crossing her back to our own Brewfm Rumpelstiltskin, which will give their kids 4 crosses to Promisedland MG Beau.

Selene did really well at our 2025 Linear Appraisal. She earned a FS83 (GGGG) @ 01-07 FF. This is way better than I thought she would score. Her Udder Depth & Rear Udder Height scores are all very nice at 39 & 37. Selene's teat placement is also very nice at 23. She could use improvement in Fore-Udder Attachment & Medial. These two traits can and will likely improve on Selene over her next few lactations & with time on the stand. Structurally she scored G's & A's. Remember, she is a very dairy young doe. G's & A's are expected given her age. Selene scored a 22 in Body Depth @ 01-07 whereas her dam, Moon, scored a 32 BD at 03-03. Moon received a FS82 (GVVG) @ 03-03 with a Soft Code 54 (Unbalanced Udder, "Single Kid Syndrome"). Moon earned a V in Back and G's in all other structural categories. Moon's udder did not pop until her 3rd Freshening at four. Selene will appraise much better at by her 3rd Freshening at 3 years old. We are willing to wait. As they say, Rome was not built in a day.
