It is never easy when a member of our herd leaves, whether it be to another herd or crossing the rainbow bridge. We would like to share their contributions to our herd and what special individuals they were.

Pete is the full brother to Tall Pines Cinnamon Sparkle. We really love his front end assembly and the general appearance he gives to his kids.
We lost Pete, along with Sven, very suddenly in the early spring of 2023 after a very severe winter storm they weren't able to recover from. We miss our boy. |

We were very excited to add this polled boy to our herd. . His dam is an elagent, well balanced doe with a strong back and a well attached udder. Sven's grandam is SGCH Castle Rock Breakin My Heart 6*M who was Top Ten for protein in 2016.
We lost Sven, only a week after losing Pete, very suddenly in the early spring of 2023 after a very severe winter storm. We miss our boy. |

We were very disappointed that, due to time constraints, we were not able to have our boys appraised in 2021.
We will keep our fingers crossed that we will be able to get everyone appraised in 2022.

We lost Pollock the in the fall of 2022 to a sudden case of frothy bloat along with Devon a day later. We were never able to determine what he ingested that caused it. Our only clue were a couple of stripped branches that were along the back fence near the neighbors house.
Losing him and Devon was a tragic loss to our program so I've hoarded all of his progeny to ensure he lives on through them. |

Dexter has definitely inherited his dam's dairy strength and general appearance. His granddam holds the elusive E in general appearance and we hope to see it carry on through her progeny. We are in love with his front end assembly and hope he passes his front end on to his progeny. His dam has a wonderfully productive udder and is expected to finish in the top ten percentile in 2021. We look forward to seeing how he matures and expect great things from his progeny.

Cosmo was one of our first Nigerian Dwarfs when we first got our herd started. She has lovely angular structure, exceptional body capacity. We would like to see a more level rump from hips to pins, improvement in brisket extension, and more rear leg angulation.

Cinnamon is now a retired pasture pet at a friends house so her legacy will live on through her doe kids, Tall Pines Chocolate and Tall Pines Ginger.
Cinnamon was one of the first kids born on our ranch. She is the daughter of one of our foundation bucks that we unfortunately lost too soon. We love how long and level she is across her topline. Her body capacity is nothing to sneeze at but we would like to see a wider rear udder arch and larger teats. |
Tested yearly, CAE/CL and Johnnes negative herd.
All kids are disbudded, per ADGA standards, unless paid in full by one week of age.
All polled goats will be noted as such.
