In Memoriam
Last updated: February 4, 2012
These are animals my current goats produced, are descended from, or were bred to, but I no longer own them (or in the case of some of the bucks, just used them for stud service). Keep in mind that some of the pictures were taken in the days before I knew how to properly groom, pose, or "bag up" the goats for show purposes, so the pictures don't show as much about their conformation as I would like (particularly in the case of Rachael, Lydia, and Yoni), but they at least give an idea of what they looked like.
Bucks Used at Stud:
Brush Creek Shiloh *S. A major contributor to the breed. There must be a picture of him somewhere but I can't find one at the moment.
ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb +*S E One of the preeminent sires of the breed.
Stonewall's Apocalypse Now ++*S
Piddlin Acres SC Maestro
Flat Rocks Funny Cide
ARMCH Twin Creeks BW Giacomo Puccini +*S E
Prommised Land Incredible Hunk *S
Flat Rocks Diamond Rio E
MCH/CH Dawnland Tabby's Halifax E
Information and pictures of the last seven bucks are available on
Dragonfly Farm's buck page.
Later Bucks:
MCH Fairlea Gabriel Oak E
Fairlea Arsene Lupin *S *B

MCH Fairlea Gabriel Oak E
(MCH Goodwood Tom Thumb X Southview Farms Rakel)
Born 2001, photo in 2003. My first homebred buck and the son of my first, beloved doe Rachael. Gabriel finished his permanent master championship quickly at the age of three, at the first three shows I took him to in the summer of 2004. He got a lot of compliments on his dairy character, topline, good feet and legs, and powerful build. He is classified Excellent with a score of 90.1. He is now living at Hickory Grove Farm with Lisa Olinger.

Fairlea Arsene Lupin
(MCH Twin Creek's WB Fire Storm X MCH Fairlea Fleur)
Black and white with some frosting, born Arpil 9, 2006. Arsene was sold to Laura Whitlock of Dawnland Farm but later moved to Periwinkle Farm in New Hampshire.
|
|
Fairlea Butterscotch
(Rosasharn's Julius X ARMCH Fairlea Heidi)
Born 2003, gold chamoise - gold with a chocolate beard, a stripe along his back, and white flank spots like his mother Heidi. I sold Butterscotch as a kid, but he came back and was at stud here for a while. He now lives with Fonnie Thoman at Riverview Farm in Crown City, Ohio.

Fairlea Jean Valjean
(PromisedLand Incredible Hunk *S X ARMCH Fairlea Fleur)
4/27/07 - 12/10/09
dark buckskin and white, a quadruplet. Sweet, friendly, easy to handle, striking appearance, beautiful legs and feet, overall a lovely boy. Sadly, he died suddenly in December, 2009, and we don't know why -- the autopsy revealed nothing.

Lydia and Yoni's Page
| 
| 
|
Born 5/15/94. Lydia and her sister Yoni were the very first kids born at Fairlea. On the advice of Judy Veale of Stonewall Farm, I bred their mother Rachael to Judy's buck Brush Creek Shiloh, and I have always been grateful for the solid foundation that gave my herd.
Lydia was chocolate with a couple of subtle moonspots; Yoni black with wild moonspots. Lydia had the better udder; Yoni the better body and legs. Lydia was the pushier one, Yoni the sweeter one, but Lydia was happy to be milked (though unfortunately tight orifices); and Yoni was a terror on the milkstand (but great orifices!). My does who come down from Lydia tend to have tremendous width and depth and large, well-attached udders, but it took a couple generations to improve the feet, legs, and shoulders; Yoni descendents are very elegant and dairy with excellent general conformation and good feet and legs, but the rear attachments are taking even longer to improve.
Unfortunately, my pictures of them aren't too good (I had a lot to learn back then), but there's also more information at Dragonfly Farm's reference page.

Fairlea Diana
(MCH Stonewall's Diggory Venn x Fairlea Yoni)
Black with white spots and two small moon spots, born 1997. Diana consistently produces three to five kids each year and takes good care of them. She has good general conformation and has produced some nice kids, but could use better front udder attachment. She also doesn't like to stand still for milking, although in general she was one of my sweetest, most friendly goats. She is now living with Anna and Mark Trafton of Westport, MA.

Fairlea Frieda
(Stonewall's Apocalypse Now x Fairlea Diana)
Black with white spots and a couple of moon spots, born 2001. Frieda has a sweet personality and produced triplets at her first kidding in 2003. Her kid Winterfield's Sinead, won Reserve Junior Grand Champion the only time I showed her in 2004, at the Bay State Nigerian Dwarf Show in June, 2004. Frieda is very dairy, but small. She easily produced enough milk for all three kids that year and was very well-behaved on the milking stand. She moved to live with Brian Jennings of Greenville Acres in Spencer, MA, and later to another farm.

Fairlea Electra
(MCH Stonewall's Diggory Venn x Southview Farms Rakel)
Bright red and white, born 1999, shown in 2004. Electra is an odd personality who often seems to expect the worst from human beings, totally contrary to her own experience. Nevertheless, she is well-behaved on the milking stand and an excellent mother who produced quadruplets this year and somehow fed and managed them all with ease. She is also a beautiful, shiny red color, much darker than this picture makes her look. Her AGS classification score is 89.2. She moved to Lisa Bernard's Wind O Mere Farm in Spencer, MA and then to another farm.

Fairlea Liesl
(MCH Stonewall's Diggory Venn X MCH Fairlea Heidi)
Roaned gold and white, born 2002, pictured in 2004. Liesl's name was chosen to match her sister Laurel and carry on the Germanic theme of their mother Heidi's name. She is now living with Jennifer Holloman in on Cape Cod.

Fairlea Laurel VG
(MCH Stonewall's Diggory Venn x ARMCH Fairlea Heidi *D E)
| 
| 
|
|
Red/gold roaned, mostly white, born 4/20/02, side picture in 2005, rear in 2007. Her AGS classification score is 89.5. Laurel has a beautiful body; very short, upright pasterns; a beautiful, but somewhat small udder; and a very sweet personality. She is also a very little goat (under 20 inches), but has had no trouble producing and feeding twins and triplets. She is now living with Fonnie Thoman at Riverview Farm in Crown City, Ohio.
|
Rosasharn's Li Hing Mui *D
(MCH OTR Magic's M Heracles X Stonewall's Ame Ebi*D)
Solid black, born 1999. Li Hing is an excellent show, breeding, and milking animal with beautiful conformation, lovely manners, and a nice udder. She is a very refined doe, an outcross between Goodwood and OTR lines. Her one fault is a somewhat poorly attached foreudder. She produced triplets both the years I bred her (2003 and 2004) and fed them all easily, producing a LOT of milk. She won a Grand Champion leg and two Reserves, all three as a Junior. She arrived here originally as a visitor in 2002 and I sold her in July, 2004. She is now living with Valerie Silverthorne Longears Farm in West Newbury, MA.

Jumby Hill Farm's Rose E
(Rosasharn's Oklahoma X Rosasharn's Buttercup)
A pale shade of roan (possibly a very dilute buckskin, to judge by the kids she produces), born 1998, shown in 2003. Although a beautiful goat with impeccable lineage, Rose was a five-year-old first freshener when I acquired her because her previous owner had not bred or shown her. In her first year of showing, she got a lot of nice compliments and an Excellent AGS classification score of 91.6. She is now living with Lisa Reilich, Painted Pepper Farm in Maine.

Fairlea Daisy Mae
(Stonewall's Apocalypse Now x Fairlea Electra)
| 
| 
|
|
Grey and red buckskin with white markings, born 3/31/01. Daisy is the exact same breeding as Fairlea Troy. She was sold as a kid but never bred and later returned to me and produced triplets as a six-year-old first freshener. She is now at the Essex County Agricultural High School in Hawthorne, MA, as part of the school's new Nigerian goat project.
|
Rosasharn's Leela
(MCH Fairlea Gabriel Oak X Rosasharn's Li Hing Mui)
Black and cream buckskin, born 2003, shown at 1 1/2 years. I bought Leela and her mother Rosasharn's Li Hing Mui along with Frieda and her daughter Sinead from Ruth Adams when she had to sell all her goats. Born here at Fairlea, Leela literally came out yelling -- hence the name, taken from Dr. Who's barbarian-but-likeable assistant. She has fortunately settled down to become quieter, but still very outgoing and friendly. She was a three-year-old first freshener because in her second winter she had a long bout of pneumonia after eating a poisonous plant and never got bred. She is now living with her mom, Li Hing, at Valerie Silverthorne's Longears Farm in Newbury, MA.

Shaded red, born April 4, 2003, pictured at three years (2006) as a second freshener. Anya at birth looked like a pale chamoisee, but now looks more plain tan with darker shading along her spine, and on her face, chin and stomach. The only two times I showed her as a yearling she won Reserve Grand Champion Junior Doe and then Grand Champion Junior, becoming my first doe ever to win a junior champion leg. In 2006 in limited showing she has usually come second to her cousin Fairlea Lindt (who then went on to win either Grand Champion or Reserve). Anya is now living with Peggy Nugent, October Hill Farm in Granby, MA. |
Fairlea Violet
(Flat Rocks Funny Cide x Jumby Hill Farms Rose)
| 
| 
|
|
Black and cream buckskin, born 3/30/04. Photo on the left taken in October, 2004; on the right, October 2006. Violet is now living with Ed Lowe, Mending Wall Farm, in Assonet, MA. |
Fairlea Tulip
(Flat Rocks Funny Cide x MCH Fairlea Heidi)
| 
|
|
Frosty buckskin and white, born May, 2004. Tulip was sold as a kid and later returned. She is now at the Essex Agricultural High School in Hawthorne, MA, as part of their Nigerian goat project. She was nearly dry when I took this picture, so it is not a good representation of her udder. |
Fairlea Elsa
(Flat Rocks Diamond Rio X Fairlea Gretchen)
Polled, gold and white, born 4/10/06, one of quadruplets. Very sweet and very tiny, the tiniest doe I have ever seen, about 16 1/2 inches. This spring she had her first kids, twins, with no trouble and has a beautiful udder, well-attached and very high and wide in the rear. She now lives with Paula Kroll in Connecticut.

Fairlea Claire 3*D AR#2030
(Rosasharn's Julius X MCH Fairlea Gretchen)
| 
| 
|
|
A repeat of Fleur's breeding, born April, 2005, she is gold and white, but has faded to almost white as Fleur did. She is taller and more elegant in body than Fleur and her udder is even bigger and more productive. She earned her AR easily in her first freshening, with well under 305 days in milk. Photos taken August, 2008 (her second freshening). She moved to Carlene Wheeler's God's Love Farm and then to another farm.

Fairlea Fleur-de-lys
(MCH Twin Creeks WB Fire Storm *S E X Fairlea Fleur)
| 
| 
|
|
Mostly white with gold spots on rump and hind legs, born 4/9/06, one of triplets. Photo taken August, 2008, during her first freshening. She is now living with Fonnie Thoman at Riverview Farm in Crown City, Ohio.

Fairlea Olivia
(Rosasharns Julius X
Fairlea Diana)
Born 4/1/00
| 
|
|
Nell is black with a white half-belt, while Olivia looks remarkably like an appaloosa horse -- chocolate brown in front and white in the back with several round dark spots. Nell and Olivia were sold as kids but came back. Now they have a nice pet home with Brendan Light in Vermont.

Winterfield's Sinead *D VG AR#2053

| 
| 
|
|
Gold chamoisee and white, born 3/19/03, a triplet, photo at two years as a first freshener. Her AGS classification is 88.0 VG. I sold Sinead's mother Frieda as a kid but she eventually returned to me and produced Sinead and her sisters Sioban and Niamh at my barn before papers were transferred, so her official breeder is Ruth Adams. She has one Senior Grand Champion leg and a Best Udder award.

Fairlea Hollyhock ADGA 1* M
(Rosasharn's Julius X
Fairlea Laurel)
|

|
Various shades of gold and white, born 6/10/05, a twin. Photos in 2007 at her first freshening. Hollyhock now lives with Lisa Olinger at Hickory Grove Farm. |
Fairlea Iris
(Fairlea Arsene Lupin X Fairlea Hollyhock)
Chocolate with frosted ears and nose, born 2/24/07, a twin. Iris was sold as a kid, returned at two years old, and has recently gone to live with Joshua Bentley in Blackstone, MA.

Polled, dark chocolate chamoisee, born 3/4/07, a triplet. Photos August, 2009, first freshening. Also now with Joshua Bentley.

Polled, gold and white, born 4/6/07, a triplet. We were thrilled that Niambh's beautiful sister recently returned to us along with her young quadruplets. She has a junior leg, won from the 2-4-month-old kid class. She freshened this spring with a very productive udder, although not quite as nice as her sister's, and she should make a capacious milker. She now lives in Pennsylvania with Austin Armor Frey.
|
Dragonfly Terpsichore
(Flat Rocks Diamond Rio E X Dragonfly Calliope)
| 
| 
|
|
Dark buckskin, polled, born 4/25/06, a triplet. Photos taken 10/22/08, 3 1/2 months into her first freshening. A lovely great-grandkid of one of my foundation does. She and her daughter Fairlea Melody now live with Micaela Brandt in New York.

Fairlea Agatha
(Fairlea Jean Valjean X Fairlea Christie)
Agatha's page
|

Dark buckskin with white spots, born 8/10/08, a singleton. Very sweet personality, very dairy, and lovely general appearance. She is very tiny - I keep expecting her to grow more, but it looks like she will stay very small. Pictures are from summer, 2010, her first freshening. She and her daughter Juliette are now living with the Blenkhorns in Foxboro, MA. |

Polled, chocolate repartita buckskin with a little frosting on the ear bases, born 4/6/07, a triplet. Beautiful and elegant body; large and almost too-productive udder. Pictures are from 2010. Niambh is now living with Jennifer Farrington in Maine.
