CSA Angelica 4/16/12 - Retained
A beautiful tri-colored doeling. Nice solid birthweight and we will see how she does with her ADG and do a check on her conformation in a few days and make a final decision, but are hoping she is up to our breeding standards. Clean teated and gaining FAST.

An absolutely gorgeous buckling!! I have no need of a buck since our new bucks, Titan and Spyder, will arrive this fall. This guy is going to have amazing color and hopefully some great size and conformation. With a very pretty black or sable colored head with plenty of moon-spotting I wouldn't be surprised if he will someday throw some greatly colored kids. So far I haven't noticed color on his body but will check him closer in the next few days. We will be evaluating him sometime around two weeks old and decide on a price then. If you are interested, feel free to let us know.

CSA Snowdrop 1/17/12 SOLD Thank you Darlene C.
A nice little twin doeling out of RSKS Ruby and CSA Challenger. She is a gorgeous spotted Boer/Kiko paint. As usual her dam kidded easily and is a super attentive mother. Weighing in at 7.5#. She is one of the most striking does I've seen. At this time we are going to keep her here at Cornerstone Acres and add her to our 2013 breeding line-up. She will bring some nice color to our herd. ****NOTE: We had an offer on Snowdrop and decided to accept the offer*****

CSA Yukon born 1/14/12 Sold Thank you Lynn D.
Welcome CSA Yukon to our farm. A decent size little buckling weighing in at 10.25#. He is a Boer/Kiko cross (50/50). Rosie had a nice easy birth and seems to be taking to mothering very well. Traditional coloring with black feet/socks and black front knees.
Yukon will be a participant in a nearby county 4-H fair!! Good luck Lynn and Yukon - make sure you let us know how you do!!
BW: 10.25# Current weight(3/6/12): 39.25#
Current ADG: .58#
FINAL WEIGHT: 57# at 101 days
NOTE: Yukon (and his boy) did awesome at their local fair, while he didn't win he was about the biggest fellow there!! He was up against some stiff competition though.
A nice little single doeling from our Saanen/Lamancha doe and our Boer/Kiko buck. A cute little mostly white girl with elf ears just like her mom. She has just black spot on her side and I believe her ears will be frosted.

NOTE: Maverick took Grand Reserve Champion for the Market class at the 2012 Newaygo County Youth Fair.
A nice looking buckling out of RSKS Ruby and CSA Challenger. 75% Boer/25% Kiko cross. Weighing in at 8#, he is a nice chocolate brown with a stunning 3/4 white collar. A bit bigger than his sister, he seems quite vigorous and ready to meet the world.
Yukon will be participating in a nearby county 4-H fair. Good luck Emilie and Maverick - be sure to keep us updated on your progress and success once he's home with you!!

Sire: Challenger (see Bucks in the photo gallery) Dam: Prince's Penny (see Does in the photo gallery)
1 of 3 5.25# Doeling Boer/Kiko
She's a tiny little thing but with tons of vigor. Hoping she will be a quick gaining doeling.

Current ADG: .46
This little scrapper is gaining faster every day!! Although I'm not sure it has been necessary, I have started supplementing her by having her nurse off of Lily when I'm done milking (just to empty her out). Perhaps this will increase her gain even more.
Huckleberry at 1 week old (next to her "little" brother)

Lamancha/Saanen/Boer/Kiko (1/4 each)
Cutest little girl with those tiny Lamancha ears. She may stay here as a second milker for us. If not, I'm sure she would make somebody an awesome milker that would throw some great kids for meat. At this time we will not be disbudding any of our goats.

Wether - castrated 10/12/11. Both mom and dad have excellent feet, parasite resistance and good general health. Will fill those holes in your freezer or grow up to be a sweet pet. Would make an aweful fancy cart pulling goat for somebody with the time to train him.
