Four Seasons Farm (FSF) Dairy Goats

Mystic is the daughter of Mercedes, our beloved herd matriarch. Fresh as a 2 year old in 2020, she is producing phenomenally well. Mercedes was historically stingy with doe kids, but we have one more. Producing 13# of milk per day 84 days into her first lactation, Mystic is holding her own! We love the extension of brisket she gets from her sire, Pleasant Grove Start General (89VEV) (AS1843221), as well as the dairy strength she gets from her dam, SGCH FSF SVP Mercedes 10*M (91VEEE) (AS1444358). Steady and reliable seems to be Mystic's mantra. This one will be fun to watch. ...

We're pretty excited about this guy - Especially after we took his picture, and he stood naturally like this, all on his own! Fjord is a stylish March kid, sired by Whey-To-Go Triton *B (AS2031054), who we lost too young. We have a couple of 2020 Triton doe kids on the ground, but not many... so this will be a great way to work those genetics back into our herd. Fjord's dam, GCH FSF Tau Fireside 3*M (90 EEEE), has long been a farm favorite for her dairy strength, udder texture and easy going personality. There should be lots of milk, style and substance built into this this guy - our hopes are high!...

Zenica is a big girl, no way around it! And has an udder that is capacious, balanced and productive. Well into her 3rd lactation at 3 years of age, she is the highest producer in the barn in 2020. This doe has been ignored in the show ring her entire life. Now 3 years old, in her 3rd lactation, SG FSF Bentley Zenica 3*M (90VEEE) (AS1855552) is hard to ignore. Not only is she a monster of a doe in body size, she is also currently producing 18# milk per day at 79 days in milk. She has a mammary system that alot of my dairy cattle friends envy! Zenica's sire is SG FSF Irwin Bentley +*B (AS1616726). Her dam is SGCH FSF Big Zeta 2*M (91 EEEE) (AS1677910). Zenica has a hair trigger of an attitu...

Summit comes to us from Scott Bice in California. We hope to have straws available of Summit, after collection. We will reserve the right to sell straws until our 2020 kid crop is evaluated. ...

Surrey is a 2nd freshening 3 year old in 2020. She has continued to impress us as she has settled into her first lactation. She is so reminiscent of her dam, Saratoga. ...

Fireside is a doe that is more moderately sized for our herd, but all her parts and pieces are in proportion. With a beautiful mammary and a personality to match, Fireside is a beloved member of our herd. ...

Well, rules are made to be broken sometimes, isn't that what they say? Well, I'm going with that. I have never retained paternal brothers... but I am this year. Sired by Whey-To-Go Triton *B, Rainier is an April born son of none other than our beloved herd Matriarch, SGCH FSF SVP Mercedes 10*M (91VEEE). Mercedes has been he foundation of our herd in so many ways, and when we said goodbye to her this spring, I knew her son would stay and work here. We are excited to use a Mercedes son in our herd again. We retained and used a Mercedes son, SG FSF Irwin Bentley +*B, years ago, and it worked out well for us. It is interesting to compare these paternal brothers, even at their young ages, and see...

Milan is a doe that I have challenged myself to wait for. To come to fruition via AI, to mature very, very slowly... but my oh my, is she a work-horse of a doe, that I think will have it all together... eventually! Now well into her 3rd lactation, Milan is upholding her constant will to milk, producing 16# per day at 84 days in milk. She she maturing into her large frame, with a tremendous mammary. We were hoping for a doe kid from her in 2020, but that was not to be, so we'll repeat the breeding to Vineyard View True Summit *B this fall and cross our fingers. Milan appraised 86+VVE as a 2 year old in 2019. We really think she would have improved that score this year, but time will tell as...

What a cutie Saffron was when she was born. This was a kid that we just had to hang on to, and see what her future holds with us. She has freshened nicely in 2020. Still a cute package, and one that will be exciting to watch as she grows....

Rosemary was one of the last kids of the 2019 season, and boy, has she been a joy to watch grow. She is a pretty thing, that is for sure! The width and area in her escutcheon is amazing! She will remain dry in 2020. ...

Spearmint was the kid I thought I would sell this spring, until the day I sat down to take pictures. Then we snapped her pic, and I just had to keep her and see how she would mature. Spearmint will remain dry in 2020. ...

Pleasant Grove Start General (AS1843221) comes to us from Craig Koopmann in Iowa. General appraised 89VEV as a 2 year old in 2019. He is maturing into a stately gentleman, and is the sire of many of our 2 year old and yearling does. He has certainly filled in and kept growing since then! We like what we see in these does - correct mammary systems with with a will to milk and proportionate body size....

Grace is one of those does that has gotten better and better with time. Finally in 2019 she has hit her stride, being recognized in the show ring as well as in her appraisal scores. 2020 has been good to Grace as she is producing really well, and her udder has gained yet more capacity. ...

Fern was a cute milking yearling in 2019. She has the silkiest udder, just like her dam, Fireside. She has freshened wonderfully in 2020, and her udder texture is still amazing. She has really deepened as she has come into her 2nd lactation. ...

Madison has been our dependable foundation for many years. What do you say about the doe who has done everything you ask of her? And continuous to be steady and consistent? Nothing other than I am so proud of her. ...

Marjoram was the AI breeding that we held our breath for... we really wanted a buck kid out of this breeding, so we could create a Jr herd sire... but we were excited to have Marjoram instead! Marjoram got the memo in her pedigree that said grow large and produce lots of milk. She is off like fireworks as she starts her first lactation. To say this gal has some large hooves to follow is an understatement, but she is doing her best to live up to those expectations. She has been producing 8-10# milk per day in her first couple of milk tests. She is what you expect from a milking yearling, she needs time to fill in all the parts, but with that large promising frame and beautiful mammary, we'l...
