White Fields Aravis
Grade Nubian ADGA GN2190152
Linear Appraisal Score 90 VEEE
Sire: *B Black Mesa Abraham
SS: Black Mesa Leonardo Decapra
SD: SG Black Mesa Tally's Reece 12*M
--2017 Top Ten Breed Leader in Butterfat
Dam: The GG Sugar Coconut
DS: +*B Black Mesa Tyler's Boeshane
DD: The Grape Ginger Sugar
Aravis was named and claimed by our middle son. He spent countless hours loving on her as a kid and as a result, she is one of the most friendly, loving goats you will ever meet. In addition to her lovely temperament, Aravis' conformation earned her the impressive Linear Appraisal score of 90 VEEE -- our first homebred doe to achieve this impressive feat! Her udder is typical of what we see in Abraham's daughters -- beautifully attached and impressively productive. It's safe to say Aravis is here to stay! (Now to try to convince her to give us a daughter or two...)
UPDATE 2024: We were absolutely heartbroken when we lost Aravis this summer. She was one of our all-time favourite does and we will miss her for a long time. We are grateful that she left us a beautiful daughter last year and we are hoping that sweet Susianna will follow in Aravis's impressive footprints...

Aravis' udder as a three year old second freshener.
In spite of having only a single buck kid for the second year in a row, Aravis is one of our top milkers so far this year. We are hoping for multiple kids next year so we can see what this girl can really do! |

Goldthwaite Whiskey Lullaby
Purebred Nubian ADGA N1943189
Sire: Goldthwaite Baton Rouge
SS: +*M Goldthwaite Pursuit
SD: Goldthwaite Bourbon St Lady
Dam: Goldthwaite Lujah
DS: Goldthwaite Cavalier
DD: Goldthwaite Xanadu
In the spring of 2021, we told our dear friend Becky Goldthwaite that we wanted to add one more doe from her remarkable herd the following spring. When she told us which doe she was going to send our way, we were beyond thrilled!
Allow us to introduce Goldthwaite Whiskey Lullaby!
Long, strong, and stunningly beautiful, Whiskey is also a remarkable milker, peaking at over 13lbs/day the past two years. To top it all off, she has one of the sweetest personalities of any goat we have ever known.
We are excited to have Whiskey as part of our herd. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Becky! We couldn't love this sweet girl more!
White Fields Penny
American Nubian ADGA AN2190138
Sire: *B Black Mesa Abraham
SS: Black Mesa Leonardo Decapra
SD: SG Black Mesa Tally's Reece 12*M
~2017 Top Ten Breed Leader in Butterfat
Dam: The Pearl Primrose Pansy
DS: Briar Gate Taurus
DD: The Pearl Rose Primrose
Penny has stood out to us from birth as a doe that we wanted to keep in our herd. She has inherited her dam's beautiful general conformation while benefitting from her sire's ability to throw amazing rear udder attachment and impressive production. She is not photogenic, poor thing, but even at liberty in the barn, she's still got class. What's not to love about this doe?! (Well. Milking her is a chore. There is that. When I say "chore", I really mean "flat out rodeo". But we'll keep working on that. We have a feeling it will be worth it in the long run...)
Even after kidding with a single doeling, Penny has impressed with production and her gorgeous udder. We were gutted not to be able to get a Linear Appraisal score on her this year, but here's hoping for next year. Keep your eye on this girl for sure!

Goldthwaite Savannah
ADGA Purebred Nubian 1942870
Savannah is the daughter of our phenomenal foundation doe, Bracelet. Just like her dam, Savannah is a beautiful doe who has excellent milk production and long, level lactation curves. We are thrilled to have several of Savannah's lovely daughters and granddaughters in our herd. Even though Savannah has moved on as a great foundation for another herd, she will continue to impact our herd through her progeny.

White Fields Bracelet's Diamond
Purebred Nubian ADGA PN2190159
Linear Appraisal Score 88 VVVV
Sire: Goldthwaite Fegor
SS: +*M Goldthwaite Pursuit
SD: Goldthwaite Shine On Rebekah
Dam: Indian Bluff Aubrey's Bracelet
DS: Goldthwaite Devon
DD: Pure River Ranch Aubrey
Diamond's dam was one of our heaviest milkers and we are excited to see Diamond, like her littermate Jewel, follow in Bracelet's hoofprints. After kidding with triplets in January of 2021, Diamond got right to work milking like a champ. She also kept condition whilst feeding triplets with milk to spare. We love it when they make it that easy! Diamond's udder is well attached, silky soft, and remarkably easy to milk out.
*Update 10/2022: We have sent Diamond to Wyoming to be a foundation doe for a new herd. Although we do miss her, she will continue to impact our herd through her daughters -- her 2021 doe White Fields Emerald, and her twin doelings from 2022, Halle and Lujah.*

Indian Bluff Aubrey's Bracelet
ADGA Purebred Nubian N1707989
Linear Appraisal Score:
90 VEEE
*Update 1/2020: It was heartbreaking to go to the barn one morning to find we had lost our lovely Bracelet during the night - we are not completely sure why. We are more thankful than ever for her four lovely daughters in our herd. They have quite the shoes to fill!*
Bracelet comes to us from Becky Goldthwaite as a doe to help improve our herd. We couldn't be happier! Bracelet is a lovely doe! She appraised as Excellent at her first Linear Appraisal -- at over 305 days in milk! In addition to that, she milked over 3000lbs in 2018 on barn records. Beautiful and productive. We are beyond thrilled at the opportunity to use this beautiful girl to help build a better herd!

G6S Normal by Parentage
*Update 4/2021: Liberty blessed us with a perfect set of twins only two months before her 11th birthday. She loved those kids and I know it was her drive to care for them that kept her through a horrific cold snap in February. She never really picked up her normal zip after that storm, though. We lost her in April. We are thankful for this sweet lady and are so glad she gave us one more daughter to keep in our herd. That doe kid is named Legacy of Liberty and that is exactly what she is...*
Liberty Rose comes to us from the Black Mesa Ranch herd in Snowflake, Arizona. What a gift from God! She is a sweet, gentle girl who is a favourite here for sure. In the words of our 5 year old, “This goat is a sweetheart. Just a sweetheart!”. Even our 2 year old loves to lead her around the field and our 5 year old begs to milk her. Liberty has stunning breed character and her udder is very well attached with teats that are plumb and easy to milk. Thank you, Kathryn, for letting this lovely lady come to Colorado.
