Verdant Vistas Fiona

Fiona is our beautiful medium carmel doe with light carmel A/B type fleece. Her fiber is thick and soft, and has done quite well in competition the past couple of years. She placed 3rd for fiber in her division at the 2005 Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby, Oregon, and her fiber placed 2nd in her division at the 2006 Bold and Beautiful Pygora Buck and Fiber show in Albany, Oregon. She has an outgoing personality and, along with VV Eli, charmed the crowd at the 2006 Fuzzy Bunz Fiberfest in Colville, Washington. Fiona's 2007 mate is Baker Ridge Arvydas.

	Hawks Mountain Ranch Peanut Butter Ball “Peanut,” as she is affectionately known, is our exceptional fiber-producing doe. She has a sweet disposition, outstanding conformation, and incredibly fine, dense medium gray, platinum-colored type B fleece. She made us very proud this year by winning Champion Doe Fleece and Grand Champion Fleece at the 2007 Bold & Beautiful Pygora Buck and Fleece Show in Albany, Oregon. In 2006, she placed 3rd out of 12 participants in her division at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby, Oregon. She is a real treasure, and we can’t wait to see the kids she produces in the future! Peanut's 2007 mate is Baker Ridge Arvydas.

Verdant Vistas Lindsay

Lindsay is our outstanding white type-A pygora doe. She has super-soft and lustrous fiber (her Dam's pedigree traces back to the outstanding angora buck, Mitchell's Ted). Although she is a shy little lady, from the first moment we saw her, it was love at first sight… and fiber judges have agreed. At the 2006 Bold & Beautiful Pygora Buck and Fleece Show in Albany, Oregon, Lindsay won Champion Doe Fleece, and also took Reserve Grand Champion Fleece of show! Lindsay also won second place in the doe division of the PBA sanctioned fleece show at the 2006 Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. Lindsay's 2007 mate is Baker Ridge Arvydas.

Hawks Mountain Ranch Noelle

Noelle has the distinction of being our very first Pygora. PBA registered as having medium brown-gray type C fleece, Noelle is actually a beautiful charcoal-gray color. Down in the barn, it is definitely Noelle who is the “top goat” so to speak, and none of the other girls challenge her. Ironically, it’s also Noelle who keeps US in line when we are needing to do maintenance grooming and vet care on the others. She always keeps a close eye on the well being of her barnyard mates. Noelle's 2007 mate is Verdant Vistas Aiden.

Peppermint Pastures Pygoras Morna

Morna is the newest addition to our Cattail Meadows pygora family, and she has proven herself to be a very mild mannered, people-friendly girl. From the moment she arrived on the farm she’s been at our heels…very interested in everything around her. It’s her amazing fiber, however, that has really captured our attention. PBA registered as medium caramel-colored type B…it has classic type B style, but with an incredible fineness and luster! Prior to her arrival at Cattail Meadows, Morna was bred to the outstanding buck, McTimmonds Valley Farm Sabastian (medium caramel type A/B), and we can’t wait to see her spring 2008 kids!

Hawks Mountain Ranch Echo

Echo came to live at Cattail Meadows this past August…as a spring 2007 kid. She’s been outgoing and playful like a puppy since her arrival, and has done her best to keep up with the antics of the “big” girls in the doe barn. Although not yet permanently PBA registered, she is solid black in color with dense silver-gray B-type fleece. Because of her young age, Echo was not bred this past fall, but will join our group of breeding does in the fall of 2008.

Lilah

Dear Lilah is one of our first goats, and she and her twin brother, Sam, got us hooked on caprines for good! She is an unregistered pygmy with an outstanding disposition…completely sweet to the core. And although she has horns (and could surely use them!) she is mild and gentle toward all the other barn-dwellers, and prefers instead to happily chat and rub on us at mealtimes.
