Libby gave us quads for the third year in a row with three doelings and a buckling. That makes her running total 10 doelings and 2 bucklings – not bad for a young third freshener! These kids are bred to be top notch milkers with a pedigree and production data to back them up.
As a yearling first freshener, Libby milked over 1,000 lbs and earned her Superior Genetics award. As a second freshener, she peaked at 6 lbs per day and milked 1,063 in 264 days – I dried her off early so we could breed her to kid earlier in the year. She has large, easy to milk teats and long level lactations that make her a joy to have in the herd.
The sire Cabochon SIG Marco Polo *B AI is a promising young buck out of Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 90. She is also an exceptional milker who produced over 1,100 lbs during her 3rd lactation and scored VEEE 90 on Linear Appraisal. Marco’s sire is Heaven’s Hollow Sig Sauer, the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck. Sig Sauer’s dam is SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki *M EEE 91, who has many outstanding accomplishments including 2012 National Reserve Best Udder, 2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf, 2014 Top Ten Milk Production, and LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old.
