Acadia’s Mabel arrived on our farm at a year old, having had very little hands-on training. We worked with her diligently to gentle her and gain her trust – and after two full lactations, she has finally made the transition to a little milk cow.

In 2023, Mabel gave us a darling heifer calf, Tin Stone Cranberry Glass, and in 2024 she had Tin Stone Mr. Darcy – absolute perfection and just 20.5″! Cranberry went to live on 100 acres in Missouri with Half ‘N Half Cattle Co and Mr. Darcy has gone to Mississippi to be a herdsire on 80 acres.

In 2026, Mabel outdid herself and gave us the loveliest heifer we’ve had in a long time, Tin Stone Esmeralda. She was 21″ at birth and we think she’ll be even smaller than Mabel’s previous calves. Essie is A2A2 and homo polled as well… and she is staying in our herd to carry on her sire’s fantastic genetics!

Mabel gives about four gallons a day at peak.

Mabel measures 41″ at four years old.
