Genesis got his name becuase he is “In the Beginning” just as the first words of the Bible. He will be the foundation of our Rockville Ridge herd just as God is the foundation of our family and homestead. His name is a nod to the Creator of life and the giver of all the good we have. We are hopeful that Genesis will create a lot of good in our herd as well. He certainly has the credentials in his pedigree as noted below.

Vader was named because I have 3 boys who like Star Wars and the name stuck. He has the Sugar Moon side in his pedigree which I love for udders and milk production and his dam Izzy has definitely improved the conformation side coming from Zebulen. I am very happy with the way he has filled out and plan to use him on daughters retained out of Genesis.
Dam

- Sire’s Sire: Amethyst Acres R Gianni *B
Vader’s Sire’s dam Sugar Moon Zip Me Up is in the 99th percentile for total milk production for the breed. The Amethyst Acres / Sugar Moon side of this pedigree puts milk in the pail and contributes beautiful udders.
Beau is a beautiful buck out of Bella and Genesis, who is a son of Better Wayz Elton Jay/EJ. He has his *B since Bella has earned a milk star in all three categories and his sire is also a *B buck. Bella has a beautiful udder and EJ has certainly made a name for himself. Beau should make a very nice herd sire.

Reference Goats
All of our herd started from the same farm: A Better Way Farm near Charlottesville, VA. Kathy is an amazing breeder and an inspiration. If you look through the pedigrees of the goats owned by Rockville Ridge, you will see many names of other goats listed. If you want to see what they look like and what accolades they had earned, I have included images of some of them here. Some are still owned by A Better Way, and others have been sold to other farms. All reference goat images are the property of A Better Way, LLC. You can find A Better Way Farm at https://www.abetterwayfarms.com/
