Travis and Pearl's Twin Bucklings below
**Bucklings will be wethers unless notified otherwise!
DOB 3/8/09 Wethered
Twin # 1 is solid white with a very light brown overlay in some areas:~SOLD~Thank you Mary Beth of OH!
***LQQK for these guys show results soon as Mary's son will be entering them in the Montgomery County Fair in Aug./09! Results will be posted here!
Mar.12, 2009 ~ 4 days old 
The tips of some of his fur is tinged lt.beige
as seen in the two photos above. Like his mom, when clipped, she appears solid white.

Just 4 days old 
Above~ 2009 Reserve Grand Champion !!!! at the Montgomery County Fair!!!
Shaking the Judge's hand! 
Sarah and "Blackie" 
Greenfire Pearl of Promise is the above twin buckling's dam and is looking mighty good considering she suffered a hip injury last fall which still gives her some trouble and just delivered twins only a few hours before I took this picture!. She is a tuff gal though and carried her twins full term. Pearl is solidly built, more 'old style' Nubian which will lend thickness to her bucklings as they mature.
She was a first freshener and has been an attentive devoted mom. To view Pearl's pedigree, please scroll down.
Tupelo and Travis 2008 twin bucklings
DOB 7/30/08
#1~2008 Twin Black intact buckling SOLD! Thank you Barb Norris of OH! Enjoy your new herdsire!
# 2 brown roan paint and dappled intact buckling SOLD
Thank you Rachel Krup and friends from Indiana! Adding genetics, color and solidity to their herd!
.Lines of Travis and Tupie's above buck and available doelings include:
Saada, Kastdemur, Longman's Macho Man, Fancy Colors, Willow Run Playboy, W.R.Seralglio,Goldthwaite plus more.....
ABOVE: The buck's coloring is very unique. The camera just does not do him justice. I have tried to capture his awesome coat but he just looks mish mash patchy..lol..You should come see him in person!. He is a lt. brown but has large diluted areas of grey. He has white also as you can see and black markings that outline his face and a black tail. He has a black dorsal and some black and white on his legs. You could not ask for a more pleasant stud. Tupie is our quietest doe here. Travis, his sire, is also VERY laid back and passive. "Baby" is just like his parents. He will come right to you and loves being scratched and talked to. A very sweet little guy that is ready to breed. He is correct and level as a board and solid! His mom is a second freshner having had easy pregnancies and births all on her own, wonderfully attentive, with plenty of milk, healthy mom. SOLD
Below: Greenfire Treasured Tupelo. First photo was take the first week of March 2009 when she was 8 weeks pregnant!

Travis with his buddy Saanan wether
Winter of 2008
Travis is a Purebred ADGA Registered Nubian Buck Black and White PAINT with four white socks. You couldn't ask for a more even temperment.
Well, ok, sometimes he likes to show off a bit ;^)
I can personally attest to Judy Faller's Endless Prairie Nubians website~ www.endlessprairienubians.com devotion to a wonderful line of goats and thank her for letting us have Travis here at Vine Hill. He likes to be with people and will follow me around if I let him! He is lovable and compliant with hoof trimming as well as other hands on needs. We could not have asked for a better goat with regards to health, temperment, bloodlines and coloring!

This is what Travis' breeder, Judy Faller of Endless Prairie, has to say about Travis' Dam and his bucklings Grand Dam:
Telestar Reflection
"Our oldest doe 8 year old SG Telstar Farms Reflection *M earned a 90 VEEE this year! Way to go! Reflection is such a strong beauty! She also is a Crown Excess Granddaughter. Our SG Hylands Galiano has blossomed like we never thought she could! After being fresh ONLY 13 hours she appraised at an 89 +EEE!!! The + was for general appearance which is only natural after kidding! Then she was awarded the Superior Genetics award as well and we are so very thrilled. We are so thankful to Gene Beck of Hylands for breeding Galiano and letting us have not only Galiano but her doe, SG Hyland's Galadriel as well! Galiano is 7*M Saada Lemon Tart's daughter. Tart has since left all of us, but she definitely carries on through Galiano and our Medallion."
Hyland's Medallion:
"We also had our Hylands Medallion take Reserve Champ at the only show we showed at in 2007. He also took Reserve Champ at WRDGA show in 2008."

(Vine Hill was regretfully unable to attend this LA session held at Bryson Branch farm last August, but we hope to participate in the next LA approval offered. I have copied and pasted the results of Bryson Branch and Greenfire Farm's LA appraisals as our does here at Vine Hill were purchased from these two fine purebred Nubian farms :^) I have highlighted the relatives of our does below matching our does here at Vine Hill.
Both families are commended for their daily committment to raising healthy high performance Nubians!!

for hosting a Linear Appraisal event for us in Southeast Ohio. It was
our second time, the first being two years ago, and again we found it
to be so informative and interesting.
We're proud of our little herd; they did very well.
Greenfire HP Phoenix Rising, 6 yo 5th freshener, V+VV 87 (this is Tupelo's DDD)
Greenfire LMS P Burning Beauty, 5 yo 4th freshener, VVV+ 85
Greenfire LMS Luna's Ariel, 3 yo 2nd freshener, VVE+ 84 (this is Pearl's dam)
Greenfire Ariel's Dulce, 1 you 1st freshener, +VVV 84
And the kids (all born in March):
Twigga V(V++)
Celeste V(VV+)
Janie V(VV+)
Cedar V(+VV)
Tansy +(+VV)
Can't wait to see how these kids develop. Thanks, again, for a great
experience and a beautiful day.

Bryson Branch Farm for the appraisal session. Also a special thanks to
Mary Ann Kilzer and Daire Miner, OVDGA Members who came to watch,
support and help feed us with their yummy fresh garden produce!!
Like many of you, we keep a very small herd of purebred Nubians.
Our first appraisal session was in 2006 and we were very pleased with
the progress we have made since then. I agree so much with Patricia
Bailey that the ADGA Linear Appraisal program is of great value
and we feel the most single valuable program that we use to assess our
herd. We base all of our purchases including semen on LA scores,
then production records and lastly show records.

The photos below are of purebred registered Joyful Julianne and Bubbling Brooke. We purchased from
Bryson Branch Farm brysonbranch@yahoo.com Before coming here, Brooke kidded in Jan. 2008 with
a 9 1/2 lb buckling and Julie gave birth to twin doelings. Both girls kidded without problems.
They were still being milked when we brought them here and consistantly supplied us with a generous amount
of milk until we dried them off and bred them both to Xtravaganza. Both of these does are the 'newer' type Nubian
and have that 'very dairy' look!
Below is what Mary had on her website about the does and I thank her for letting me use it here as well!
 (photo courtesy ODGA) Bryson Branch Joyful Julianne and Bryson Branch Bubblin Brooke are two Bryson’s Hero daughters that we are very excited about. Both have long bone patterns and are very dairy does, stand on strong feet and legs and have the signature Bryson’s Hero daughter trait of a high and wide escutcheons. Being triplet sisters out of our original foundation doe, Nettie Rose, we are anxious to kid them out in 2008. The triplet brother, Famous Amos, is being retained for future use. Amos has the same long, tall bone pattern of his sisters, stands on good feet in legs, is high in the withers and very open throughout. His added plus is his beautiful black and dapple gray coloring. |

Photographs complimentary from Bryson Branch Farm.
We are anticipating a great "dairy" herd with a heavier structure than most by crossing the old style and new style Nubians.
We use herbal preventative medicine and try to avoid unnecessary antibiotics. We never use hormones. We do not use fertilizers here on our farm. We are an "all natural farm."
Our goats MAIN nutrition is attained by browsing. They receive supplemental grain when needed (wintertime, pregnant or lactating) and unlimited weedy hay mixed with Alfalfa. The girls all get Alfalfa cubes soaked in water to a 'spinach' consistancy daily too.
Our goats have unlimited fresh water, loose copper minerals and soda. They also receive preventative vaccines> CD&T, Bose, Pneumonia and supplemental Probiotics, Vitamins when needed. They are dewormed on a reg basis.
By keeping goats in their most 'natural' surroundings, they build immunity and a better resistance against illness.
