Go, go Mayflower!
Mayflower was the firstborn in her litter. The birth was very strange, but Mayflower (named partly for her May 2 birth) came out lusty and ready for life, while her sister struggled to survive. She’s been a healthy, bouncy girl ever since.
Her dam is JC’s Bluebelle 3*P and her sire is Goat Trails’ Finley’s Gem Texas Pete. Pete is polled, but Mayflower’s sister, Lilac, got the polled genes. Nothing daunted, Mayflower is a mini-me of her mom: a chocolate roan, with looong beautiful ears and strong, well-sprung, robust body. She is long and deep like her mom, and I’m thinking she’s going to be as stellar on the stand as her mom is!
We were looking forward to breeding Mayflower in the fall of 2022, but we never caught her in heat. Hoping for kids in 2024!

Mayflower’s sire is Goat Trails’ Finley’s Gem Texas Pete. Pete is polled, but Mayflower’s sister, Lilac, got the polled genes.
You can see the udders behind this handsome, purebred sire here.
Mayflower’s Udder
Mayflower freshened as a two-year-old because of breeding mishaps at Storybook Farm in 2022. She freshened for the first time with a singleton buckling, and we don’t have 12-hour fill pictures yet.
Mayflower’s Kids
2024 Kid
Mayflower was paired with Mosaic’s Mahogany Obsidian *B and produced a single buckling, named Jack Frost. He was the cutest baby, and had the longest ears in the barn!
