Cabochon WM Juniper 5*M kicked off our 2024 kidding season with triplets. I matched Juniper with Better Wayz Bodacious *B with the goal of maintaining Juniper’s width, open ribbing, dairy strength, and teat size while increasing udder height and improving shoulder assembly. The kids definitely have the width and ribbing I was hoping for. Time will tell on the rest.
Juniper is a beautiful doe with outstanding dairy strength. She has a long, lean neck and incredible width. Some of Juniper’s strongest confromational points are her shoulder assembly, rear legs, back and rump. Juniper’s teats are wide (35), long (40) and exceptionally easy to milk. As a yearling, she already had very nice foreudder extension (34), height (34) and arch (30). Juniper won a Grand Champion leg as a junior with the judge commenting on her open ribbing and dairyness. As a bonus, her blue eyes and moon spots bring a little variety to the herd.
Bodacious’ pedigree is packed with does with Excellent udders and general appearance who have some of the best production in the breed. Both his dam and sire’s dam are EEEE 92 does who have milked more than 1300 lbs in a lactation. His dam, SG Better Wayz Harmony Carabear 3*M EEEE 92, is the new all time breed leader in butterfat and has been an ADGA Elite doe for the last six years. His sire’s dam, SG Better Wayz Isabelle 3*M EEEE 92, has made the top 10 list for butterfat multiple times and has been an ADGA Elite doe for the last four years.
Sire – Better Wayz Bodacious *B
Dam – Cabochon WM Juniper 5*M
