Age 9	*ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb +S'E' 2 X AGS National Champion Buck - 1997 and 2000! AGS#D-2431 "Tom" was our favorite herd sire! He has built our herd. Sire:** ARMCH Goodwood Kauri Tree +S (s:Goodwood Kenya X d:Goodwood Helvetica) Dam:* Goodwood Guadalupe D ( s:Willows By George X d:Goodwood Zippy Mariry ). DOB* 3/15/93. HES 91.70(Excellent ! ). AGS Classification: 93 23". Show record: Many, many Champion Challenges. Tom has only forfeited a Champion Challenge title once in his life, in 1998: to his grand son, on an occasion when Tom got into the show ring, dug in his heals and would NOT budge! Tom was perhaps, the most influencial buck in the history of the Nigerian breed. He helped build the Rosasharn style, passing on long level top-lines and rumps; long necks; wide rear ends and escutcheons; capacious, tightly attached udders with large comfortable, easy-to-milk teats; strong front ends and general correctness, in a variety of flashy colors. His offspring possess fabulous balance and dairy proportions. Many of his sons are in service as herd sires, throwing gorgeous kids, daughters of which at this point have well attached udders fore and rear. Tom's genetics, and our creative line breeding program are responsible for the unique Rosasharn herd style. Tom has sired multiple Master(permanent) champions and many of his offspring have Grand Champion "legs" We were very sad when Tom passed away at 11 years old. He lived a good life and left behind a legacy that will continue to prove themselves in all ways possible. He lives on in his kids, kid's kids and his kids, kids, kids... We will never forget Tom or the influence he left behind on the entire Nigerian breed. See some of his kids here .
	ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L +S 'E' ++B +AE 82 AGS#D-11537 Sire: Stonewall's Apocalypse Now (s: Stonewall's Raising Arizona X d: Stonewall's Lily Dale) Dam* :ARMCH Goodwood Water Lilly *D; 2000 AGS National BOB! DOB: 5/3/99. HES: 90.9. AGS: 91 23.5". Show record: 4 X RS. GR. CH.; 3 X GR.CH. 1 X BOB Tiger, like Tom before him, refined and defined the Rosasharn style. He contributed greatly to the development of the Nigerian breed overall. He was the result of a line breeding on Stonewall's Raising Arizona, who is Tiger's paternal grand sire and Water Lily's grandsire. Raising Arizona, himself was a grandson of the exceptional Tom Thumb! Tiger is black and gold buckskin with much white overlay. His first freshened daughter easily became a permanent champion: ARMCH Rosasharn's Unagi. Tiger sired many champions and his daughters excell in udder shape, attachment and milk production. We are thrilled with the udders we have seen on his daughters, every udder has been an improvement over the dam, especially in hight of rear udder and MSL. His kids are very consistent; with really nice tight shoulders and are very stylish and well balanced with super high and tight rear udders. See some of his kids HERE
	ARMCH Rosasharn's Under My Thumb Sire: ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb +S 'E' Dam*: ARMCH Goodwood Water Lily See his kids HERE.
	Rosasharn's Sopporo ARMCH Rosasharn SW Soporro S E Sire: Doe-Sy-Doe's FS Storm Warning Dam: ARMCH Rosasharn's Unagi 4D 'E' A wide and powerful buck that has great balance and stregnth. Gold and white with great genetics on both sides he gave us great kids with high, tight udders that blend smoothly into the body with heavy capacity too. See his littermate sister Sake for his "look." . Show record: 3 X grand champ buck AGS
	*GCH/ARMCH Rosasharn's TL Ulani 4D** VG, 3M ++VV 86 21.25" Sire:ARMCH Rosasharn'sTiger L +S E Dam: ARMCH Rosasharn's Uni 3D DOB 4/18/03. Ulani was our first double ADGA/AGS permanent champion! She was light gold with intricate white lacing, beautifully balanced with lovely general appearance when she cooperated. She was very nice straight forward front feet and legs and very correct rear angulation. She did not have the sweetest temperament in the herd, always a bit stand-offish though came for milking reliably. Her udder had incredible width and height to the rear with a good fore and excellent capacity too. Show record:* 1 X Grand champ. SR AGS 3 X Gr. Sr. ADGA (2 X AGS and ADGA) DHIA: 2.00-206-625-42(6.7)-28(4.5) 3.02-255-696-50(7.2)-32(4.6) 4.00-22-1016-66-42

	ARMCH Stonewall's Little Luli D AGS#D-1436f Sire:Brush Creek Shiloh (s: Brush Creek Russel X d:Brush Creek Jolene) Dam:Stonewall's Chocolate Anna (s:Goodwood Kenya X d:Goodwood Rosa Parks). DOB* 1/12/92. HES 86.7(very good). 21", gold "buckskin" with brown cape, white spot on rt. side. This graceful, long doe has a long neck, beautiful top-line and exceptionally long teats on a well attached udder (which her sons seem to pass on to their offspring consistently). She is a bit high strung, which causes her to go off her feed when transported or otherwise stressed; consequently her milk production falls dramatically and she doesn't look her best when shown, nevertheless she earned MCH. Show record: MCH DHIA: 6.01-303-593-33(5.6%)-28(4.7) 1998 7.01-64-187-9(4.8)10-5.3) 8.03-85-314-18(5.7)-9(2.9). RETIRED (see Eclipse)

	OTR Magic M Heracles AGS # D-9286 Sire: Inavale Mr. Magic (S: Piddlin Acres Maverick X D: Goodwood Tambourine) Dam: ARMCH OTR Circe the Enchantress 3D (S: OTR Fun's FuN Comet X D: ARMCH OTR Minuet in C 2D) DOB: 4/11/98 HES: 88.75 (very good) Cream and white. Harvey Considine said taht this very sharp buck had superb dairy character, though at the time of evalution, 1 yr, he was a bit feminine for a buck. He was described by his breeder as her "udder breeding." He comes from a line of does who excel on both milk test and in the show ring. Show Record: 1 X Res. Sr. Ch. buck (at 1 yr) Sold (see Honey)
	Goodwood Geranium D AGS#D-1155f Sire* :Willows By George (s:Willows Beauregard X d:Willows Sweet Georgia Brown) Dam :Goodwood Cowgirl (s:Goodwood Kupe's Canoe X d: Willows So Forth). DOB 12/29/90. HES 90 (Excellent !). 21" light gold.a Geranium was smoothly blended, overall. She had a grand, beautifully attached udder, a level top-line, long rump and strong front end. Timing had not been in her favor in the showring; she was only shown for the first time as a 4 year old, and her last lactation ('97), was atypical. She had a fetus die in utero, necessitating a C-section on a very sick uterus and doe. After 2 weeks in vet hospital, she returned home, still weak, with the prognosis that she would never conceive again. To our astonishment, her yearling daughter (from whom she was inseparable) began nursing and brought her into a decent enough lactation that she placed in the top of her class when she was shown, including first place in the aged doe class at the 1997 AGS National show! Show record: 1 x Gr. Ch. Sr. Died at 9 yr.
	*ARMCH Rosasharn's Baby BellaD AGS#D-1927f s:Mulberry Farm's Peter Pan d:Mulberry Farm's Friede. DOB 3/13/91. HES 91.4 (Excellent ! ). 22", Chestnut chamiosee roan, black legs, face dorsal stripe, white chest band. Bella came from a herd of miniature dairy-looking goats (all colors); none were registered. Bella's credentials were submitted to the committee responsible for admitting to the AGS N.D. herd book (before it closed) and she was accepted! She had a nice front end, long legs and neck, a deep chest and barrel, tremendous body capacity, a lovely dish face, and grace throughout. Her udder was superbly attached fore and rear, improving with age, but she had short teats. Bella was the herd queen and my most beloved: she is greatly missed. Show record: MCH At age nine Bella stood in third place in the Champion Challenge line at the 2000 AGS National Show! All American Aged Doe 1998. DHIA: 7.00-293-837-48(5.7%)-38(4.5%) 1998 8.00-305-924-46(50)-40(4.3) 9.03-56-322-10(3.1)-11(3.4)-ME:1310- Died**

Image yet not available	*Stonewall's Alias Grace 3D AGS# D-6989 Sire:*:Gay-Mor Berry's Johnny Jump Up +S (s: Goodwood Lingonberry X d: ARMCH Goodwood Trillium D) Dam:Goodwood Tinkerbelle 2D (s: MCH Goodwood Kauri Tree X d:Goodwood GuadalupeD).

Red-gold with white markings both sides. This doe continues to represent Tom Thumb's line which I like so well. Show record: 1x Gr. Ch.
