We usually breed 6-9 does each year and have 8ish milkers on our show string. Living in New England, there is a strong goat community, dedicated to putting on any great shows! We travel to about many shows each year and show in both 4-H and ADGA open shows. We are always very proud of our girls when they earn a leg!
CH Coyote Ledge Burke-AB1797194 DOB: 03-18-2016 90 EEEV @7 Years old Sire---GOATING AROUND RUSTY AB1588117 Dam--LEEMAN F F MILKYWAY AB1633691 As a kid Burke had a very strong front end assembly with a deep, long body. Along with her dam, they won many dam and daughter classes. We bred Burke in the fall of 2016. As a yearling milker she was quite competitive and won many Grand Championships, but sadly none were championship legs. For the 2018 show season Burke was a two year old 2nd freshener. Although she needed some depth throughout her barrel she had a lot of length. Her udder showed great capacity held up with a tight medial suspensory ligament. At the 2018 Bangor State Fair Burke earned her restricted leg in the 4-H show! We retained her set of twin doelings from 2018 (Coyote Ledge Dixie and Coyote Ledge Diamond.) In April 2019 Burke freshened for the third time, with a set of twin bucklings! Although we would have preferred a doeling or two, we are very happy with how Burke has matured with another pregnancy. She has a long and deep body that has grown into her huge brisket and front end assembly. This beautiful body pairs great with her large udder that is high and tight against her barrel. At our three ring spring show, Burke went Grand champion in the first ring and reserve in the second. This was Burke's second leg and at the 2019 Bangor State Fair Burke earned her third championship leg! Burke freshened in March 2020 with twin doelings (Coyote Ledge Fusilli and Coyote Ledge Fritatta). Burke finished the 2020 show season, with 2 BOBs, and one Best Doe in Show! Burke had a great 2021. She freshened with twin doelings (again!) She placed 9th (2nd youth) in the 5-6 yr milkers at ADGA Nationals. And she had 4 BOB wins, being beat by her daughter Dixie, a few times. She scored a 90 on LA and is doing well on milk test. I am excited to see her kids in the spring. Burke had a rough 2022, losing her pregnancy 2 weeks early. She got the year off, and definitely bounced back better in 2023! She freshened easily and started the year off well. She had many BOB wins, and Best in Show at Ossipee Valley Fair! She maintained her 90 LA score at the age of 7 (with 7 freshenings), and was commended for being a gorgeous general appearance doe. With 2 finished duaghters (Dixie and Gypsy), we are excited to see another crop of Burke kids!

Coyote Ledge Elegant Emerald VEEV 88 @ 4 with 2 freshenings, milking through. DOB: 04/08/2019 Sire---Goating Around Diesel Dam--Coyote Ledge Diamond We had the opportunity to bring Emerald back into our herd in 2023. Being a Diesel kid and a Burke grandaughter, I couldn't say no! Emerald will be a 5 year old 3rd fresher in 2024.

CH (pending) Coyote Ledge Freedom Rose- AB2083887 VVVV 86 @ 3 Years Old DOB: 03-21-2020 Sire---GOATING AROUND DIESEL AB1931847 Dam--COYOTE LEDGE DUSTY ROSE AB1926671 Freedom has been a show-stopper this year! She won her restricted leg, and Best Jr Doe in Show at the FAFNY youth show. She continues to grow and mature, and we can't wait to see her udder in the spring. Freedom continues to be one of our favorites. She freshened with a beautiful single doeling (Coyote Ledge Give Me Liberty). Freedom was the 6th place yearling milker at ADGA Nationals in Louisville! Besides Nationals, she has been in a single entry class for the whole show season. Despite not having competition in her class she holds her own in the championship line-up. She got her first milking leg at the Summer Fun Dairy Goat Show (as a yearling)!! This doe is a very special girl and we are excited to see how she continues to mature. Freedom continues to mature into a nice doe. She easily gained her last CH leg as a 2 year old. She wowed us in 2023 having twin doelings, bringing her kid total to 4 does (and no bucks). We are excited to see more Freedom kids on the ground in 2024!

She is a very strong doe, much like her dam, but has the very prominent dairy character that Diesel is so great at passing on. She was the 10th place Sr kid at ADGA Nationals in Louisville. 3 weeks later she won her restricted leg (and Best Jr Doe in Show) at the 2 ring summer fun show!! Gypsy has been one of my favorites since she was born and I am super excited to see her freshen in the spring. Gypsy had a successful year as a yearling milker, that was highlighted by placing 2nd at Nationals! Gypsy easily finished her championship as a 2 year old, with many champion wins throughout the 2023 show season.
CH (pending) COYOTE LEDGE GEORGIA PEACH AB2161279 VEVV 87 @ 2 Years Old DOB: 03-06-2021 Sire---CH (pending) COYOTE LEDGE EPIMETHEUS AB2019309 VEE 90 Dam--CH (pending) COYOTE LEDGE DIXIE AB1926673 Georgia is a really long, dairy, eye catching doe. She stands out because of her dark bay color. Our 2021 doelings have all been very pretty, so Georgia has been over-shadowed by some of our other kids. But despite limited time in the show ring, she won Grand Champion in ring 1 of the Summer Fun Show. Due to a need for updated registration papers, we are unsure if this will be an official leg for her, but none the less are very proud of this doe. I'm excited to see more udders out of Ep and see how Georgia compares to her dam in the milk pail! Georgia managed to hold her own as a milker, and easily won 3 milking legs as a 2 year old. We are continually impressed with her 2022 doeling, and have repeated that breeding for 2024 kids.
