Took Moose and Huckleberry to the Mid Summer Open show today and J-Haven’s SV I’mUR Huckleberry was 2xGCH and BOB AND 1xRGCH. It was totally worth getting up at 4am!! Huckleberry seems to blossom later in the show season so in love with this doe, both these girls hold a special place in my ❤️

Introducing Kastdemur’s Jimmy Choo *B
We have been admiring this young buck for a few months now and can’t wait to add him to the breeding program!
Was lucky enough to see his dam in person last weekend and I can honestly say she was one of my favorites if not my favorite just so sharp and that topline so wide and level which she has handed down to Jimmy! This is the most open and flattest ribbed kid I’ve ever felt you can see the width between his ribs and that topline he’s his dam made over! His sire Lady Killer was so correct and level as well but did put my hands on him cause nobody wants to smell like a buck for the next 2000 miles! Can’t thank Krista enough for sending this guy our way!!

So when you’re offered a doe that you have admired since she was a kid then freshens with a beautiful mammary you make it happen!! Transport fell through so I made a quick trip out to California to get her 4600 miles in 84 hours! Welcoming Kastdemur’s Bristol 7*M to the herd!! Adding another Ambition descendant was a no brainer and she is so sweet already stole our hearts! Working on updating my website but thinking Jolt will be a great match up for her! Can’t thank Krista enough for this opportunity, showing me around the farm, and as always such great conversation!! Photos courtesy of Kastdemur’s

I did a zoom meeting a couple years ago for youth in dairy goats and at the end I thought this would be a great time to donate a Lamancha kid to any youth that attended the meeting that wanted to add a kid to their dairy goat project! Anna Crites was the winner and just want to thank the Crites family for getting J-Haven’s HR Nillabean Coolata to her full potential and placing 9th place 2 year old beating some of my retained 2 year olds and National Premier Youth doe!!!! 🏆🏆 Could not be happier for these young ladies and might just got this Lamancha free family hooked on this amazing and IMO the best breed!! 😁❤️

07/22/2024

Well we had a great national show!! The biggest wins were 1st place 2 year old with CH J-Haven’s MD Birds & The Bees “Ms Bees” and 1st place 4 year old with J-Haven’s PE Ima Jean. 3rd place aged doe with CH J-Haven’s MD Livin’ Joyous and 2nd place Int kid with her daughter J-Haven’s FT Livin’4 Happiness, more photos and placings to come once I get my professional photos to download!

Transport option: I will be traveling this route Evansville, IN to Sebastopol, CA starting Friday evening around 3pm and returning Sunday morning leaving no later than noon. I am only taking a truck with a shell so space is limited we are going to have fans running from the cab to keep them as comfortable as possible. I have an empty load going out and have limited room coming home. This is a straight out straight back trip so there is no flexibility on time or route. EDIT: trip home I’m full still have room going out only have one rider😁

07/19/2024

We had a great week more to come but we are headed home!! Safe travels everyone! ❤️

SOLD….Last up….Celestrial is looking great this year from a super immature yearling she has just amazed me this year! I can’t wait to see her in the next couple years mature into an amazing doe ❤️ she has a beautiful mammary high wide rear with lots of attachment and a smooth fore udder. Hero daughters are freshening amazingly with excellent mammaries and beautiful bodies with super level topline. Every time I took my hand off him he bounced up on to legs. I tried to get a causal shot however he would not cooperate so these are the best I could get in this heat🥵

06/21/2024

SOLD. Huckleberry is looking great this year super deep bodied and beatifully attached mammary she hasn’t been out yet as we are treating a leg injury but hoping she will be healed up for nationals! His granddams on both side are two of my favorites chutney and charm. PM for more info and possible transport options.

06/21/2024

I really can’t believe this guy is still available. If you are needing general appearance, great feet and legs, length, height, and beautiful mammaries this guy is for you!! This guy is line bred on one of the best does I have ever bred Chutney and the sire is a paternal brother to Ambition. A lot of delivery options available right now. PM me for further details

06/19/2024

SOLD. If you are looking for strength, depth, general appearance, and udder attachment this guy is for you. Sugar Boo was 1st place Jr kid at the 2022 ADGA Nationals and has turned into a beautiful 2 year old that just catches your eye whenever she walks into view. She has such an amazing wide level rump. His paternal Granddam Lace was one of my favorites with excellent general appearance and an amazing mammary system. Delivery available next weekend to Columbus Ohio and Centerville, PA.

06/16/2024

Had a great day at the Lincoln County Classic! J-Haven’s PE Ima Jean was 2xGCH and 2xBIS! Moose was 1xRGCH. Been up since 4am so off to bed!! Thanks everyone for all the help today!! ❤️

06/11/2024

SOLD: J-Haven’s MM Catch Me Ilean was 2x2nd behind Ms Bees yesterday. This doe was a sleeper when she first freshened wasn’t even sure she’d stay but about 2 week after kidding she really started milking and i was like wow one night, I think she can stay now! We have the buck kid below available out of Ilean and Jolt. He is a lot bigger now and so smooth with lots of length and width. Delivery available to Columbus, OH or Centerville, PA area on June 29th. $650

06/11/2024

We have a new champion in the barn CH(pend) J-Haven’s MD Birds & The Bees. Ms Bees was GCH and BOB in the two rings we showed in yesterday at the Hoosier Classic. So proud of this young doe! 🥰

06/06/2024

New transport options available. Ilean was slow to come into her own but we are loving her more and more everyday and her buck will likey go up in price once we get her cleaned up and start showing. Not only is he flashy but super correct!

06/06/2024

Well when Sparrow started labor 10 days early this spring and the first 2 doe kids were deceased and had been for a week or so I was devastated but then the last doe kid came out small but alive never skipped a beat and is now the same size as her other herd mates so introducing J-Haven’s MD Flying Solo 😍 she is a genetic full sister to Ms. Bees. 🐝

05/22/2024

If you are looking for great general appearance, long wide top lines/rumps, and needing to add size to you herd I’ve got just the buck kid for you. Ilean has a really nice attached mammary and probably the best fore udder currently in the herd. PM me for udder photos as I only have casual photos will be getting the does clipped up soon. Jolt has sired some of my favorite kids and is just beautiful himself! Delivery to the Hoosier classic or kidding around classic available in June and transport near Columbus, OH and to PA on June 29th. 6️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

05/19/2024

Well I have not showed at a May show in 10 years but had to support this local show. Ms Bees was GCH and BIS and Moose was RGCH in both rings. Jolt was also GCH and BIS in both rings as well. Didn’t get photos of Ms Bees uddered up as we just trimmed them up will get better photos once they are shaved up. She is looking great this year can’t wait to get the hairy beast shaved! ❤️

05/04/2024

UPDATED deleted bucks that sold and possible transport options: Got all buck orders filled so with that said lots of twins and triplets this year with a few still available pedigrees below and photos of most the dams. Celestial was an immature yearling last year but lots of potential so she got to stay and I’m not regretting that choice as she is becoming an eye catching doe photos of her upon request as she hasn’t been clipped up yet. The Hero daughters are freshening here and in other herd really nice! Please PM for any questions price 650. I have a few transports available to the Columbus, OH then into PA on June 29th.

SOLD…Have two big correct buck kids available for wether projects. 5️⃣0️⃣ obo

Well there are always ups and downs during kidding season and ours had been going to smoothly, so have a bunch of does hitting their 145 days this weekend but Sparrow started digging on Tuesday I was like NOOOOOO!! She was 9-10 days early and is notorious for having the first kid coming hocks first so I washed up as I didn’t know when she had actually started labor? First kid sideways and I could feel really small legs and dark fluid was not a good sign😫well kid had been dead a week or so then the next foot with head back small legs so I knew what was coming well another dead kid😢 then back in and there was another kids back legs started pulling it out clear liquid and bigger legs and OMG a live kid 🙌🏼but barely and a doe so got her in the milkroom and dried off was holding her and she started having a seizure I was like come on little girl don’t give up, so gave her some karo syrup and a tiny bit of calf perk a bit later. I thought I was going to have to tube her as she couldn’t even hold her head up tried a couple times with the tube and she started moving her lips so just tried the ni**le and she started sucking got about 4oz in her over a 30 min period so put her under a heat lamp and said hang in there little one! Up again at 4am another 4 oz and by morning she was standing a bit and crying for breakfast. She is doing great and what was going to be a devastating lose of triplet doe kids turned into a triumphant blessing!! Still thinking of a name cause it’s gotta be a special one! Meet Ms Bees little sister ❤️😁 and sparrow is doing great so it could have been worse!

02/08/2024

First up is Gesture only 6 more days these will also be the first Jolt kids! Excited to see these kids! Not so excited that milkcation is almost over! Jolt is growing into a big handsome boy!

01/29/2024

Got a lot done today rebedded everyone, got the cameras cleaned off ready for kidding season and got a load of hay!

01/29/2024

It was been so humid and raining here all week so raked all the damp bedding out and just piled it outside the barn. Well one guess as to who got to playing on the pile and rolled off and got stuck on her side!! 😂 Poor Huckleberry I told you to get off of it!

11/20/2023

After aborting 3 perfectly formed kids last spring a month early and sitting the year out of the show ring happy to say J-Haven’s PE Ima Jean bred to J-Haven’s Seventy Times Seven was confirmed tonight carrying at least two very active kids!! So excited about this breeding seventy daughters are not disappointing!

09/27/2023

I’m thinking maybe a good chance for chocolate babies and I’d be ok with that 🥰

09/25/2023

Not a bad end to the season when the show chair texts you and says we need 3 milkers and 3 bucks you try your best to keep local shows going so you change your plans! Wasn’t expecting much but both Vaeda and Allure both picked up a GCH., Vaeda and Huckleberry both got RGCH and the bucks BJ was GCH in one ring and Jolt was RGCH in the other. And when someone says you two need to work on your smiles this is what they get 😂😂

09/18/2023

Another really exciting breeding today! Gesture and Jolt these kids should be a general appearance dream!! Combining these two lines should create something special can’t wait to see these kids!

Well we had a great national show!! The two biggest wins were 1st place 2 year old with CH J-Haven’s MD Birds & The Bees “Ms Bees” and 1st place 4 year old with J-Haven’s PE Ima Jean.

Come by and see us at the ADGA National Show we’re kinda hard to miss! ❤️

Drawing for raffle kid. Good luck everyone!

Sparrow

Glory

Glitz

Never had twins look so much alike love these two. One is taller one is wider it will be very interesting to see how they freshen and mature! Glitz and Glamour are Joy and Perrier daughters.

Ok this is the first time this has happened to me. Got this doe kid out to trim her feet and I had bred her on 11/5 then on 12/16 was very upset on the thought of mid-may kids👎🏼 well I thought I would ultrasound her wasn’t expecting to see much WELL I WAS REALLY WRONG 100% sure she took on 11/5! This is what you get when you nickname a doe Orgie! 😂

Love walking behind Chutney to the milk room! Not only a phenomenal attached mammary but milked almost 14# on Saturday at only 5 days fresh🥰

Well I was hoping for twins when I bred her and now after this ultrasound I'm just hoping for triplets and not quads again this year!! Well she definitely lives up to her name she is very ambitious when it comes to the baby department!

*B Kastdemur's Vandal Dam: GCH Kastdemur's Vera Cruz 5*M EX92 Sire: SGCH +*B Kastdemur's SA Stingray -Elite Sire Vandal is a very impressive buck being long, tall and level with an excellent front end and an incredibly wide topline.
