Kidding Schedule & Goat Sales 2024

We are beyond crazy busy during kidding season. We need to maximize our efficiency and keep the herd healthy by keeping numbers in check.

-- Reservations are verbal
-- Once I contact you about an available kid, you have 24 hours / one day to get back to me if you are interested in a kid.
-- If you want a kid, you will have one week to get a $100 deposit to hold the kid.
-- If you wish us NOT to disbud the price must be paid in full before 10 days of age.
-- Kids can be held until two months of age, at which point the full purchase price is due (or you will forfeit the deposit).
-- Kids picked up before 1 month of age will receive a $150 discount.
-- Arrangements for pickup will need to be made by two months of age.
-- Kids NOT picked up by 2 months of age will be charged $15/week boarding fee, charged at the end of each week.
-- If the desired kid is not healthy enough for shipping we will reimburse deposit + other payment received, and try to find another kid that would be a good match. This may not be possible.
-- Bucklings may not be available even if one is produced; we firmly believe that bucks must be something special.
-- If you have not reserved a kid before birth prices may change - as our prices are pretty reasonable prices are more likely to increase as we start milking the dams.
-- Please email us (dappleman AT mac DOT com) or Facebook message us if you are interested in a particular pairing, and what sex you are interested in, or if you have ANY questions. Feel free to contact us again around the due date, or if we don't get back to you in a timely manner -- as mentioned above, we are going without much sleep during kidding season.

Changes may be made as our circumstances demand. Farming is never easy, and kidding season is stressful for us and the goats. We may not offer kids born out of a particular breeding if they are slow to mature, not of sufficient quality, or if we decide to retain them for our herd.

Available kids and adults indicated by yellow highlighting; if we are able to get photos a list can be seen on the photos page.

More kids will be for sale as the season progresses, as we cannot keep all the nice ones. A few of the does will also be for sale as marked. Watch on this page!

	via AI	10/11/23	03/02/24	Arwyn now lives in Canada, and earlier in 2023 he appraised Excellent 93 (!!!). We love a lot of things about Cassi -- we are hoping for better shoulder assembly and even tighter attachments. S5 & S7 - bucks S6 - doe Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 17.5%	800	800
		10/10/23	03/02/24	Mimi is so far as nice as any of her three sisters at the same age, SGCH Oak Apple Cavatina, SGCH Oak Apple Seria, and SGCH Oak Apple Buffa E92. All three sisters finished their CH with relative ease with stiff competition. There is a lot to like! Zeke brings in his wide rump, style, and milk production. Last year's 4 kids from this breeding were uniformly nice. S8 & S9 - bucks S10 & S11 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.7%	private treaty	private treaty
		10/10/23	03/02/24	Ophelia (known by her friends as 'Opie'), has an exceptionally wide rump. This is a close breeding as both Ophelia and Valiant are by Old Mountain Farm Cernunnos. This tight cross has done really well in the past. S12 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 22.5%	800	800
	photo courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	10/11/23	03/02/24	Eunomia is a daughter of Oak Apple Themis, who finished her championship in 2023 and appraised EEEE 90. Eunomia is similar in style to Themis. Sargon is a son of Dragonfly T Ninevah, appraising EEEE 92 as a NINE year old doe! 2024 will be our first kid crop from Sargon - we are excited! S14 - doe Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.7%	300	NA
		10/11/23	03/02/24	Hoping for a little more angularity; Sambal is a bit of an unknown as we did not get any other daughters from her sire Dragonfly CP Basbaas. She is a smaller, correct doe. Rodion should add angularity. S16 - doe Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.4	300	NA
		10/11/23	03/02/24	Cernunnos line breeding. Rondo is a full brother of Oak Apple Cassiopeia, who has appraised EEEE 92 and has an exceptional rump. This should be a pretty cool match, one that Alex is especially excited about. These kids are WIDE!!! One of our rare exceptions to the buck out of FF rule. Pyrrha is an exceptional FF; we'll have photos of her at some point. S17 - doe S18 & S19 - bucks Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.2%	300	300
	photo courtesy Mandy & Chad Turnbull of Novella Farm	10/12/23	03/03/24	We were really impressed with Theseus' kids last year; hoping for more nice kids. Arie is the daughter of our Dragonfly HLJ Ariella, making this a nice linebreeding on Flat Rocks Flash & Gem, Stonewall's Apocalypse Now, and a few others. S20 - doe Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.8%	300	NA
		10/10/23	03/03/24	Allegra is the last born daughter to Old Mountain Farm Fast Tempo E90, made possible by IVF. All three of the full siblings are exceptional in different ways; hoping to see Allegra bloom this year as a FF three year old. Jimmy's daughters have uniformly nice udders with great teat placement and udder arch. S21 - doe Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 15.6%	400	NA
		10/13/23	03/03/24	Linebreeding doubling up on Old Mountain Farm Cernunnos x PromisdLand Nemesis, adding in SGCH Camanna GD Moonlight Opera E91 and Piddlin Acres W Taboo E90. S24 - buck S25 & S26 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.4%	300	NA
		10/13/23	03/03/24	Looking to improve production while keeping udder attachment and good general appearance. S27 & S28 - bucks S29 - doe Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.2%	400	NA
		10/10/23	03/04/24	Heliane is a nice young doe that looks more and more like her dam line every day. Those of you that like PromisedLand Nemesis should keep tabs on this breeding! Tempo Primo should bring a bit of elegance. S30 & S31 & S32 - does S33 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.6%	600	600
		10/16/23	03/07/24	Looking to improve production while keeping udder attachment and good general appearance. S34 - buck S35 & S36 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.0%	400	NA
photo courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	photo courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	10/11/23	03/07/24	This is a really cool combination of some of the goats Joanne Karohl is working with. Even though there are no common ancestors for 3 generations, the inbreeding coefficient is 16% - Flat Rocks Gem; Willows Instant Replay, Twin Creekds LS Luck of the Draw, and Halifax all are players. Sargon is the son of one of our favorite does, GCH Dragonfl T Ninevah, who appraised EEEE 92 at nine years of age. two bucks Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.0%	300	NA
		10/13/23	03/07/24	Tramontana has some of the highest thurls in our herd, is level from thurl to thurl, and also probably has the longest rump in the herd. We repeated the breeding to Rondo which produced a lovely doeling in 2021 that was sold to the right person. S39 & S40 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.5%	500	500
		10/14/23	03/07/24	Calypso is a plain doe that gets overlooked in most settings as she is small and does not have flashy color. She is worth a closer look as she is quite structurally correct with a nice udder, resulting in a well-deserved excellent appraisal score. Again, linebreeding on the usual goats that we are working with. Our main goal was to get Calypso to catch, as she took last year off... S41 & S43 - does S42 & S43 - bucks Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.4%	800	800
		10/16/23	03/07/24	I'm still not sure what Agent 99 is about (she is, after all, named after a secret agent). This breeding combines some things that should complement each other on the pedigree... S46 & S47 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.6%	500	NA
	photo courtesy Mandy & Chad Turnbull of Novella Farm	10/19/23	03/09/24	Castaña placed fourth in the dry yearling class at this year's Nationals. She has pretty nice structure; and dam Hazel's udder is pretty fine, so we'll see how this works. This breeding is a loose linebreeding on PromisedLand Incredible Hulk. Castañas FF udder is NICE!!! Catch these kids at FF prices (hint, hint) S48 & S49 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.2%	400	NA
	photo courtesy Mandy & Chad Turnbull of Novella Farm	10/11/23	03/09/24	A very loose linebreeding on really good stock. S51 - doe S52 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.4%	300	NA
	via AI Photo courtesy Emily Carpenter of A Little Funny Farm	10/24/23	03/16/24	By looking at our breeding lineup, you should notice that we bred 4 does to Better Wayz Hammer in the Sky. We love the daughter that we got from Hammer and Patter; so we are trying to linebreed on similar goats in a few other permutations. Two really exceptional kids. S53 - buck S54 - doe Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 12.6%	500	500

"Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.6%	800	800
	via AI	10/28/23	03/18/24	A linebreeding on some of the Sugar Creek stock, and Gay-Mor Mayfly. Go Daddy kids tend to mature slowly -- most of the time they are well worth the wait. S59 & S61 - bucks S60 - doe Click here to go to planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 8.8%	800	800
	photo courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	10/26/23	03/18/24	Persa is a polled great-granddaughter of GCH Dragonfly T Ninevah 09-01 EEEE 92, who (no coincidence), is Sargon's dam. This should be pretty cool - I wouldn't mind a Ninevah in our herd. S62 & S63 - does S64 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 17.0%	300	NA
for sale	via AI	10/28/23	03/18/24	Tsuki is a daughter of Old Mountain Farm Mizuki; and Tsuki has many of Mizuki's strengths while being an improvement in shoulder assembly. This is a loose linebreeding on Haiku with some interesting twists. Looking for more angularity; hope to keep Tsuki's excellent attachments and production. Tsuki is evidence that visual udder capacity does not equal production. S65 & S66 & S67 - bucks Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 8.5%	600	600
	via AI photo courtesy Tanya Callison of Gabhran Creek	10/28/23	03/18/24	Another linebreeding on our usual suspects; Spartan is a full brother to Oak Apple Idomeneo, and has several very nice kids scattered through the country. S68 & S70 & S71 & S73 - does S69 & S72 - bucks That's right - sextuplets by artificial insemination! One buck DOA, the rest are peas in a pod as far as appearance, in a very nice way. Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.2%	500	500
	via AI photo courtesy Emily Carpenter of A Little Funny Farm	10/28/23	03/18/24	We repeated this AI breeding as the doeling from last year is absolutely spectacular! Patter is one of our does that has been developing nicely -- she is a power house with lovely area of udder attachement. This breeding is a loose line breeding on Halifax. S74 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.9%	800	800
		10/27/23	03/19/24	Marlen is the daughter of SGCH Oak Apple Buffa 05-09 EEEE 92--we have pretty high hopes that this breeding will nick well. one buck Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 13.8%	400	NA
	via AI Photo courtesy Emily Carpenter of A Little Funny Farm	10/29/23	03/19/24	Eugenia has a really nice rump and the best teat placement in our herd. This is a linebreeding on Old Mountain Farm Oliv A Suddn plus other usual suspects; a similar cross worked REALLY well last year, so we're trying other permutations. Eugenia missed the the photoshoot day. S76 & S77 & S78 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.5%	500	500
	via AI photo by Lorene Toth, courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	10/29/23	03/21/24	This is a loose linebreeding on the Stonewall's Midnight Cowboy x Goodwood Mindy cross. I was amused that this particular match had an inbreeding coefficient of 14.2%. I am not sure what will happen... S79 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.2%	500	500
	via AI photo courtesy Lori Yeske of Lady Walkers Half Moon Farm	10/29/23	03/22/24	A linebreeding on Halifax. While Nora is not a flashy doe--and easy to overlook--she has a good udder, good conformation, and a very good temperament, and holds her lactation well. She is one of Alex's favorites. S80 & S81 & S82 - bucks S83 - doe Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.9%	500	500
		10/30/23	03/22/24	This is an experiment (all breedings are, but this one has a few more unknown variables.) S84 & S85 & S87 - does S86 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.7%	300	NA
		10/31/23	03/22/24	Trying to tighten up general appearance; I'd like a crystal ball to see how Hosanna develops & how she crosses with Rodion. 3 bucks 1 doe Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 13.8	300	NA
	IVF photo courtesy Jennifer Bowman of Primrose Hill	--	03/23/24	A complementary breeding on phenotype and linebreeding on the usual suspects. 6 implanted embryos S92 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.8%	NA	$1,000
		10/31/23	03/23/24	Dulce's dam has a phenomenal udder, just needing better shoulder assembly to create a better total package. Jimmy should be able to do this without taking away anything in the udder department. S93 & S95 - does S94 - buck Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 15.6%	300	NA
		11/03/23	03/24/24	Hazel is an incredibly nice doe that has not gotten shown as she is right at the height limit & will often measure over height by 1/4 inch. We feel that Hazel has a lot to offer, so for now she stays. Rondo and his dam are on the smaller side, and we are hoping to get shorter daughters from this breeding. We are crossing our fingers! These kids are nice - the price reflects the uncertain mature height. Daughter Castaña was 4th place dry yearling at 2023 ADGA Nationals - Castaña is staying within height and has a fantastic udder. S96 & S97 & S98 - does Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.7%	500	500
		11/05/23	03/29/24	We're pretty excited about this breeding - Cynethryth is a daughter of a doe that we had high hopes for, but never conceived again after a C-section. We decided to try embryo transfer, and Cynethryth is the result. Farming is never easy... Avalon should be a good match. S99 - doe S100 & S101 & S102 - bucks Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 19.1%	500	500

		11/05/23	03/29/24	Lenna is daughter of Muddy Rock Geronimo, a buck we bought with intention of keeping him in the tank for future outcrossing. Lenna freshened with a gorgeous udder with an exceptional fore. This breeding is a linebreeding on Piddlin Acres W Taboo 07-01 VEEE 90.

	photo courtesy Joanne Karohl of Dragonfly Farm	11/05/23	03/29/24	This is an interesting linebreeding. Selene is a very long, level doe that right now is a little 'tubular'; her body should deepen with maturity. We are doing another linebreeding with Sargon to see how he clicks with these goats in our herd. S108 - doe S109 & S110 - bucks Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 11.7%	300	NA
		11/16/23	04/07/24	Ospina is a daughter of Mocha -- again this line seems to take a LONG time to mature but can bloom into spectacular does. Hoping to get better photos in 2024. S114 - doe S115 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 20.7%	500	NA
		11/16/23	04/07/24	Linebreeding on some goats with good structure and exceptional general appearance. Crema got off to a rough start but freshened this year with a lovely udder. Dam Mocha took a long time to mature, and we are seeing this in her offspring. 2 bucks Click here for planned pedigree "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.8%	400	NA
		11/22/23	04/13/24	Paloma is arguably one of the best does we have bred. Unfortunately she has been measuring 1/4" overheight. Lovely in so many good ways, with good length of rump, good shoulders, and angularity; so for now she stays. Kid pricing reflects the height gamble. S118 - doe S119 - buck Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 16.1%	500	500
		12/24/23	05/17/24	Martina is very structurally correct, and needs to bloom with more capacity to do better. She is also from a maternal line that is slower to mature but tends to be worth the wait. These kids should be exciting! -- Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.9%	500	500
		12/27/23	05/20/24	Varia is a nice FF that was liked by her appraiser. Her maternal line has pretty consistently great shoulder assemblies; hoping for a bit more udder capacity with this breeding. -- Click here for planned pedigree. "Real" inbreeding coefficient = 14.8%	500	500

Adult Does For Sale
sale pending Oak Apple Cendrillon 03-08 VEEV 89 03/30/2018		Cendrillon is a very productive (peaking at 5 lbs), small, and very sweet doe. She has at least 2 legs for her championship. We have retained her 2023 son for use in our herd. Although we will be VERY sad to see her go, it is time for Cendrillon to shine in another herd. She would be a marvelous foundation doe. Price includes breeding to our Zeke son, Oak Apple Avalon, bred 12/10/23. If she is not confirmed pregnant, she can be bred to your buck of choice.				$800
for sale Oak Apple Belinda 05-09 VEEE 91 02/20/2016		Belinda is easy to mistake for one of her 3/4-sisters, Buffa, Seria, Cavatina, or Mimi. There are not too many Cernunnos daughters left, and one of the few ones to be offered for sale with an Excellent 91 permanent score. Belinda is bred to Oak Apple Avalon, one of our favorite Zeke sons out of one of our nicest young does. If bought bred, she must be picked up before March 1, 2024 - preferably earlier to avoid damage during late pregnancy. I will not be disappointed if she stays, so don't wait before I change my mind!!!				$2,000
for sale Oak Apple Branwen 04-07 VVEE 90 04/23/2017		Like Belinda, there are not too many Cernunnos daughters left, and one of the few ones to be offered for sale with an Excellent 90 score. She has a lovely area of udder attachment. Branwen is open (no fault of her own - she was not bred this year), and can be bred to a buck of your choice prior to leaving.				$1,500
sale pending Oak Apple Tsuki 04-06 VEEE 89 03/10/2019		Tsuki, at four years of age, measured slightly above height limit on appraisal day, the reason for her moderate price, and probably why she did not jump into the overall excellent appraisal score. Tsuki is a productive doe, pictured milking about 4 pounds. Her udder is deceptively small -- it is well-attached with a good area of attachment. She is the poster-child for the admonition that you cannot judge production by udder size!! Tsuki is available after kidding (due March 21, 2024).				$700
for sale Old Mountain Farm Julia Quinn 05/29/2019		Julia has super general appearance; having a level topline, good rump and shoulders. Her udder is tightly attached. For a little added bling, she has moonspots. Price includes breeding to any of our bucks of your choice choice.				accepting bids
