Our Girls
We strive to maintain a harmonious herd of does that have correct conformation, nice width of rump, and amazing udders behind them. Beyond that, we seek does that have proven themselves to be great dams both in personality and udder capacity to raise their own litters. Personality is the keystone to the harmony in our herd and all of our does are very social, friendly and sweet-they have done a great job passing along these traits to their kids.

Kara is just the sweetest and quietest little doe. She is the one who patiently waits her turn for scratches and belly rubs. Kara has an amazing and wide rump, just like her dam. Kara's first freshening udder was everything I could have wanted and more, and it continues to improve with each freshening. She has a strong MSL, perfect teat placement and length/size, and her attachments are very strong-her udder is just socked on tight. Kara met her butterfat and protein requirements for her AR star in 2020, unfortunately she dried off a lot during the horrid wildfires in late summer and did not meet requirements for pounds. We hope to get her back on test in 2021.

We are very excited to have Greta here on our farm. She has an overall amazing mammary and one of the nicest foreudder attachments I have seen on a Nigerian. Greta also has an incredible will to milk and is notoriously difficult to dry off. All of this coupled with her sweet personality make her a great addition. Greta more than surpassed the requirements in all 3 components to earn her AR milk star in 2020 (we are still waiting to for ADGA to enter Greta's milk test data into their new system, but have been assured it will be done as soon as they are able. Dry sheet copies can be provided.), despite starting milk test late in lactation and once a day milking up until the last 2 months of test.

We feel very fortunate to have been trusted with sweet Dot and are thankful to Sans Gene Farm for allowing her to come live on our farm. Dot is an outstanding brood doe that consistently out produces herself. She has the "E" rump that we are so fond of! Dot was on her way to earning her milk star this year but unfortunately she dried up during the horrific wildfires late this summer. We plan to get her back on test in 2021.

Moonie freshened beautifully in 2020 with high capacity and will to milk. She has easily met requirements in all 3 components for her AR milk star with milk test that started late in lactation and once a day milking up until the last 2 months of test. We are excited to see her 2nd freshening mammary in 2021.

Emmie is easily one of the favorites. She has such a sweet and quiet demeanor. She freshened beautifully this year. Her all around mammary shape, teat size and placement were just gorgeous. Unfortunately I did not get any photos of her udder full as she was one of the few does that I dried off after kidding to lower my farm workload and keep up with the extra responsibilities that Covid brought along, like homeschooling! I cannot wait to see her 2nd freshening and get her on milk test.

Fiver is another favorite here on the farm. She was by far the easiest FF I have ever had step hoof on the milk stand, no fuss at all from day 1. Fiver's FF udder is beautiful with butter soft texture, perfect teat size and placement, and great capacity. Fiver easily met her butterfat and protein requirements for her AR star this year, but may fall short of weight by 3 pounds! She achieved this with milk testing that began very late in lactation and with once a day milking up until the last 2 months of test. Cannot wait to see her 2nd freshening udder.
