Fairlea Farm Does

ARMCH Fairlea Heidi *D E AR#2029 (ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb +*S E X Fairlea Lydia)   Heidi's page   Pedigree Photo by Joanne Karohl

Gold and white, born 7/29/95, pictured in 2004. Classified Excellent with a score of 90.9 in August, 2004. There was never any question from the moment of her birth that Heidi was a keeper, and that her name was Heidi. She was my first winning doe, and her patient attitude and long teats make her a pleasure to milk. She has also placed herself in charge of my sanity -- whenever I am upset about anything, she comes over, leans on me, looks up into my face, and simply exudes calmness and support. The grumpy expression on her face in the picture is an anomaly -- she must have been having a bad moment just when the photographer snapped the picture. Important wins: Best of Breed Doe at the ANDDA National Specialty on June 24, 2005, at the AGS National show week in Springfield, MA. At just one month short of 10 years old, she defeated many of the top does in the northeast, including the one that won AGS National Champion Doe the next day. My son Cedric had the thrill of his career so far, because he was the lucky handler showing her! Other big winners that weekend were Fairlea Fleur (ANDDA Best Udder), Fairlea Troy (ANDDA Grand Champion Junior Doe) and Stonewall's Diggory Venn (AGS National Champion Buck)!

ARMCH Fairlea Gretchen 2*D E AR#1948 (MCH Fairlea Diggory Venn X MCH Fairlea Heidi)   Gretchen's page   Pedigree   Side Photo by Joanne Karohl, rear by Anne Petersen
Gold and white, born 3/26/98, side picture in 2005, udder in 2002. She has an AGS classification score of 91.1, Excellent. Gretchen seemed fated to be one of those who wins lots of reserves and no championships because she didn't like showing (the grumpy expression on her face in the picture was fairly common in the ring), until at the age of 7, when she suddenly won three successive shows in August, 2005, to finish her permanent MCH. And now she likes showing! That's what an atmosphere of appreciation will do for a goat! She completes three generations of MCH does, Heidi (grandmother) - Gretchen (mother) - Fleur (daughter).

ARMCH Fairlea Fleur 3*D E AR#1950 ADGA 1*M (Rosasharns Julius X MCH Fairlea Gretchen)   Fleur's page   Pedigree Photos by Joanne Karohl
Cream and white, born 4/16/00, pictured in 2004. Although less than 20 inches tall and a bit on the dumpy side, Fleur is very dairy and a fabulous milker, the best in my barn, with wonderfully large, soft teats. Judge Harvey Consodine summed up her talents in 2003, when, on bending over to examine her udder, he exclaimed, "Oh, my, you're a real working girl, aren't you!" On the way to earning her title, she won three Grand Champion awards, three Reserves, and three Best Udder, and at least two of the judges commented on her "incredible udder." She earned an AGS classification score of 92.2 in 2003.   Important wins: Best Udder at the 2005 ANDDA National Specialty, held at the AGS Nationals in Springfield, MA.

Fairlea Ariel *D E AR#1956 (Stonewall's Apocalypse Now x Fairlea Diana)   Ariel's page   Pedigree Photos by Joanne Karohl
Black and cream buckskin with a gigantic moon spot across her neck and left shoulder, born 3/22/01, pictured in 2004. Her AGS classification score is 90.1 E. Ariel has a beautiful, deer-like elegance; an amazingly round, capacious udder; and a calm, eager-to-please personality. She actually won three Grand Champion legs, but didn't get credit for one because her tattoo had faded so badly it was indecypherable. (Note: White tattoo ink is not permanent!)

Fairlea Lindt 2*D VG AR#1945 ADGA 1*M (Rosasharn's Julius X MCH Fairlea Heidi   Lindt's page   Pedigree
Chocolate and white, born 3/24/03, Photo 2009. Lindt is named in honor of her chocolate-and-cream look and her mother Heidi's German name. She's doing very well at shows and already has one Grand Champion Senior Doe award, a Best Udder, several reserves and many firsts.

Fairlea Florence 4*D AR#1946 ADGA 2*M (Stonewall's Apocalypse Now X MCH Fairlea Fleur)   Florence's page   Pedigree
Black and cream buckskin, born 4/10/04. Photos July, 2009. Only shown twice as a yearling, because I had so many yearlings to show that year, she won Grand Champion Junior Doe. As a senior she now has several reserve Grand Champion wins and recently another Grand Champion leg at the Southern Vermont Dairy Goat Association's show under judge Todd Harp.

ARMCH Fairlea Troy *D E AR#1947 ADGA 1*M (Stonewall's Apocalypse Now X Fairlea Electra)   Pedigree
Black and brown buckskin with white markings, born 4/23/04. Photos taken August, 2008 (third freshening). AGS classification is 91.0 E. Major Wins: Grand Champion Junior Doe at the 2005 ANDDA National Specialty, held at the AGS National series of shows in Springfield, MA. At the 2007 AGS Nationals, she won her class at the ANDDA specialty and was second in her class at the AGS National Show. She now has a senior Grand Champion leg as well, a Best Udder, several reserves, and many firsts.

Fairlea Marguerite 4*D AR#2281 ADGA 2*M (MCH Rosasharn's Tiger L X MCH Fairlea Fleur)   Pedigree
Gold and white, born March, 2005. Photos from 2008, her first freshening. She is nows a third freshener with the highest production in my barn, a fabulous udder, a Grand Champion leg, and several reserves. I really need to update her photos - as soon as I have the time!

Fairlea Tosca 2*D AR#2280 ADGA 1*M (Twin Creeks BW Giacomo Puccini X MCH Fairlea Heidi)   Pedigree
Pale chamoisee or dark gold with facial markings and dorsal stripe, born May, 2005. Photos taken July, 2008, her first freshening. She has one Junior and one Senior Grand Champion leg.

Greenville Acres Ester (Old Mountain Farm Leonardo X Fairlea Electra)   Ester's page Pedigree Photo by Joanne Karohl
Gold with frosted nose and ears, born 2/20/06. Many thanks to Brian Jennings of Greenville Acres for this lovely doe! The udder picture was taken in May, 2010, her third freshening. Her udder is turning out to be really outstanding and a delight to milk. She has one Junior Grand Champion leg.

Second Fresheners:

Fairlea Niambh ADGA 1*M (Fairlea Fletcher Christian X Fairlea Sinead)   Niambh's page   Pedigree
Polled, chocolate repartita buckskin with a little frosting on the ear bases, born 4/6/07, a triplet. Her first udder last spring was beautiful but small, an improvement on her mother in every detail that I had hoped for. This year, her second freshening, her udder is much larger and extremely productive. I hope to have newer pictures up soon.

 
 

Fairlea Paris (Dragonfly TA Lancelot du Lac X Fairlea Florence)   Paris's page
Black and white, born 4/13/2008, second freshener. Photos are from 2009 when she was a first freshener, courtesy of Joanne Karohl.

 
 

Fairlea Hildegard (Flat Rocks Diamond Rio E X ARMCH Fairlea Heidi *D E)   Hilde's page
Redgold and white, born 2/22/08, a twin. Freshened in 2009 with very promising udder for a yearling first-freshener. Pictures taken October, 2009.

 
 

Fairlea Roxane (Rosasharn's TL'Ugene *S X ARMCH Fairlea Fleur 3*D E)   Roxane's page
Redgold and white with wattles, born 4/2/08, a twin. First freshener in 2009, just recently freshened again on 7/7 - newer pictures soon.

 
 

First Fresheners:

Fairlea Snowdrop (Fairlea Siegfried X Fairlea Hollyhock)   Snowdrop's page
White, born 4/21/08, a twin. She is NOT blue-eyed--that is Photoshop's annoying automatic red-eye reduction which I didn't learn until recently how to prevent. The picture shows her very capacious first freshening udder, May, 2010.

 
 

Fairlea Linnet (Flat Rocks Night Raven X Fairlea Lindt 2*D VG AR)   Linnet's page
Black-and-cream buckskin but mostly white, born 7/1/08, a triplet. This year's pictures are unclipped, and the side picture has no milk in her udder - just a quick update until I can get better pictures.

 
 

Fairlea Harmony (Dragonfly TA Lancelot du Lac X Dragonfly Terpsicore)   Harmony's page
Plain dark gold, born 7/8/08, a twin. She is very sweet, extremely elegant, and a beautiful, smooth, coppery color. Her first freshening was this June.

 
 

Fairlea Cobweb (Fairlea Butterscotch X Fairlea Ariel *D E)   Cobweb's page
Black-and-cream buckskin doe with white belt and a few small moonspots, born 7/19/08, a quad. Side view is with an empty udder - just took her directly from her kids for a quick picture.

 
 

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 this summer, 2010, her first freshening.
