* B (p) Kastdemur's Adhradh 2-29-24 DNA typed & A/F Casein ~AGS dual registered
In our small herd, we have to change sires frequently, usually every two or three years. When we started considering our next sire, we wanted to try something a little different, while not straying too far from the traits we value. After some looking, we found what we wanted in the lovely Kastdemur herd! We admired J'Adore from the first photo we saw of her, especially her eschuteon height, foreudder length, and impressive first lactation. We put in a reservation and waited anxiously. J'Adore obliged us, giving us a choice of bucklings, and Adhradh caught our eye instantly. He has big expectations to meet but we are greatly pleased with him and can't wait for his first kids! Adhradh (pronounced Ira) means "admiration" or the act of admiring, and we thought it a fitting tribute to his dam.

*B (p) Irish Blessing LK Sean AI 3-20-24 DNA typed & A/A Casein ~AGS dual registered
Sean is a kid we had been trying for three years to get but everything from CVV to a cross country move had blocked until fall of 2023. Holly gave us a giant single boy, and while we had hoped for a doe, the genes of this cross are what we wanted. Sean is a snazzy buckling, being wonderfully wide and long bodied. Not many bucks can claim that both his grandmothers were Top Ten three times, each! We are hopeful he will pass his family's line of heavy milk production and longevity in structure. Sean himself is very long boned, dairy, long rumped, growthy, and had the best personality! This really was a lovely cross.
Due to our small herd size, Sean's time with us will be limited. For now, we will enjoy his fantastic personality and anxiously await his first kids.
