2-yr-old Walnut Fork Dewberry (sired by
*B Walnut Fork Sedric Kabul and out of
SG Walnut Fork Sedric Gooseberry 11*M
EX 91) is shown recently fresh for her owners, Shady Lawn Farm. Thanks April. We rarely get out to show so we love to send
does to homes that will get them out and promote them. Dewberry already has a RGCH win as a 2 year old. |

Kenya had such a
profound influence on her herd that today every one of our Alpines
traces back to her or her littermate, SG Paisley Park T. Kaiya. A
five-generation maternal line of LA Excellent Walnut Fork/Paisley
Park does starts with Kenya. On a forage diet of little alfalfa and
lots of pasture and local hay she produced a high lifetime record of
high-component milk which has been transmitted to the herd that
averages 4% fat and 3% protein on Standard DHIR. Her calm and
responsive nature made her a joy to show and travel and work with.
She never had metabolic issues or mastitis. With her wide and level
rump, correct shoulder assembly and front end, tightly attached
mammary system and grace elegance, she had her share of success in
the show ring and on appraisal day. But, to us, most important are
the generations of progeny she leaves behind in our herd and others.

Thank you for your interest in our
herd. Dairy goats have been part of my life for the last 29 years. This
relationship has brought great rewards, frustrations, wonderful friends
- both human and caprine - and a lifestyle that few outside the "goat
world" could understand. You may use the buttons at the left
to navigate around the website. You will find pedigree and performance
information on all of our does, our current breedings, our management practices,
and terms of sale. Please use the E-mail button to contact
us with any questions you may have about our animals or you may write or
phone us at:

Maintaining a productive herd of dairy goats requires some help from our friends. Much thanks to our local veterinarian, Dr Janet Hoke; Steven Hutchins and Debbie Loudermilk who are relief milkers and moral support;
Mary Jo Fines of WebNanny Designs for her prompt and excellent web page work; and last, but certainly not least, my daughter
Emily who is herd artist, photographer, show handler and now that she has returned to the farm, help on a day to day basis.
