Trinket’s Doeling

Posted on June 26, 2022 by admin

Trinket was AI bred to Aubrey’s Acres Phan Boy +B (VEE 90) and delivered a single doeling on March 30th. The doeling is long and wide like her dam with tremendous width between the hocks. She has the build and the pedigree to be an exceptional milker.

As a first freshener last year, Trinket milked an amazing 1,168 with 6.3% butterfat. She also appraised VVEE 87 on Linear Appraisal with “Excellent” in mammary. Trinket’s large, soft teats make her one of the easiest goats in the herd to hand milk. Both Trinket’s dam and sire’s dam are Superior Genetics does who have proven themselves with Grand Champion wins in the show ring and with award winning performance on the milk stand.

Phan Boy is well under the height limit at 22.5 inches at 4 years old and is proven to reduce height in his kids. He should also add longevity to his kids – his dam, CH The Schifsky’s TLC Farm Faith, achieved a Linear Appraisal score of EEEE 91 at 10 years old.

Ma Cherie’s Twins

Posted on June 26, 2022 by admin

Ma Cherie deliviered adorable twins on March 4th. These kids are another line breeding on SGCH Carl B’s OH Champagne *M (VEEE 91). Two of our goals in 2022 were to retain another Prosecco daughter and to keep a couple kids line bred on Champagne. Ma Cherie’s doeling checks both of those boxes so we are retaining her for our breeding program. Because Ma Cherie is a first freshener this year, her buck will be going to a pet home as a wether.

Ma Cherie is turning into a beautiful doe and we are looking forward to getting her into the show ring. Her millk production has been incredibly strong for a first freshener with 4.5 lbs at 38 Days in MIlk. Ma Cherie’s dam, SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M (VVEE90) is a second generation SGCH doe and we would be thrilled if Ma Cherie continued that into the third generation.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon XY Prosecco, has Superior Genetics awards on both sides of his pedigree. He has strong dairy character with great angularity and openness. We have three Prosecco daughters in our herd and all have beautiful, well attached udders with large, easy to milk teats.

SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (EX VEEE 91) is a permanent champion, has a Superior Gentics designation, and milked more than 900 pounds last lactation. She earned her SG award on her very first lactation. She finished her permanent championship and scored 90 on LA at only 3 years old. She has a 2:1 PTI of 112 and a 1:2 PTI of 123.

She freshened as a two year old and milked 1,060 lbs. Indy has a beautifully attached udder, scoring Excellent in mammary on Linear Appraisal. Her extra large teats make her a dream to milk by hand.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon SIG Marco Polo AI *B, excels in general appearance and dairy character. Marco’s dam, Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 91, is a beautiful doe with beautiful conformation and excellent production milking more than 1,100 pounds in her third lactation.

Marco is sired by the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck, Heaven’s Hollow Sig Sauer. Sig Sauer’s dam, SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki (EEEE 91), is a Superior Genetics Grand Champion who has many outstanding accomplishments including:

Calliope delivered triplets on March 18th. Calliope is a standout milker who earned a Superior Genetics designation and ELITE status as a first freshener.

Bibelot’s Twins

Posted on May 24, 2022July 21, 2022 by admin

Bibelot delivered a pair of look-alike twin doelings on March 17th. The girls are a pretty chocolate buckskin color that will probably darken with age to a beautiful deep chocolate like their dam. I’m expecting these girls to be great milkers with quality udders. As a bonus, one of the doelings is polled.

Cabochon MP Bibelot is very dairy and has a long, lean neck and a long bone pattern. She is a very eye catching young doe who won Grand Champion Jr Doe to earn her first championship leg at the Bluff Country Dairy goat show. Bibelot freshened this year as a yearling and has a nicely attached udder with long, easy to milk teats. Bibelot’s dam, SG Cabochon CN Whatchamacallit 2*M VEEV 90; is one of the best milkers in our herd at 1,247 lbs last year as a third freshener

The sire, Cabochon PR Pando *B, is a long, sharp buck out of Cabochon PB Mapleshade 4*M VEEE 90, who is a wide, open doe with beautiful attachments and large teats. We have two Pando daughters in our herd, Cabochon PAN Believe In Angels 5*M and Cabochon PAN Wildfire 4*M, who both performed very well in the show ring as kids with Wildfire winning a Grand Champion leg. I’m loving the attachments on both of these does this year as second fresheners.

Sire – Cabochon PR Pando *B
Dam – Cabochon MP Bibelot

Dolly’s Twins

Posted on May 22, 2022May 24, 2022 by admin

Dolly delivered a beautiful set of twins on February 27th. She is 11 years old now and still healthy, energetic and with an udder as high and tight as ever. Dolly has the longevity we all would like to see in our goats and I am proud to have her in our herd.

Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M (EEEV 90) “Dolly”, has exceled in the show ring with two Grand Champion wins, four Reserve Grand Champion wins and numerous first place wins. Her conformation is proven by Linear Appraisal having twice scored Ex 90. And her production is documented with Advanced Registry DHIR milk test milking over 900 pounds. Her daughter, SG Cabochon ZZ Sierra Nevada 3*M, earned her Superior Genetics designation, two Grand Champion legs and multiple Reserve Grand Champion wins.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon ZZ Sweet William *B, has daughters with multiple show wins and production awards including a Superior Genetics Grand Champion daughter, SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M VVEE 90 and his newest daughter Cabochon WM Juniper who is a yearling freshener this year.

Petit’s Twin Bucklings

Posted on May 22, 2022 by admin

Petit gave us two handsome and much anticipated bucklings on February 24th. These boys are line bred on SGCH Carl B’s OH Champagne *M (VEEE 91). If you’re looking for a buck line bred on an SGCH VEEE 91 doe to bring consistency and quality to your program, check these out.

SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (EX VEEE 91) is a permanent champion, has a Superior Gentics designation and milked more than 900 pounds last lactation. She earned her SG award on her very first lactation. She finished her permanent championship and scored 90 on LA at only 3 years old. She has a 2:1 PTI of 112 and a 1:2 PTI of 123! Champagne has proven her ability to produce exceptional progeny.

Champagne’s daughter, SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M (VVEE90) (dam to the bucklings) is a second generation SGCH doe. She proved herself early in the show ring finishing her permanent championship as a three year old. She then maintained a extended lactation and appraised VVEE 90 while milking through- something that is quite rate in the Nigerian breed. Petit wrapped up her second lactation with 1,238 lbs after 496 days in milk.

Josephine easily devered triplets on Feb 19th. I’m very happy with the feet and legs and the body capacity of these kids. They have very nice rear leg angulation with strong pasterns. The doeling has exceptional spring of rib and I am expecing her to have a beautiful udder with large teats.

Marcy’s Twins

Posted on April 2, 2022 by admin

Marcy delivered an adorable set of buck/doe Mini Alpine twins on February 19th. Both kids are the unique Chamoise/Buckskin pattern found in Nigerians.

Mini Alpines are excellent homestead milk goats who average about 3/4 gallon of sweet, rich milk per day while eating only about a third of what a full size goat eats. They truly combine the best of the Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf breeds and are coveted by homesteaders wanting fresh milk and cheese.

Marcy received an excellent rating for both mammary and body capacity in her 2018 Linear Appraisal. This lady is all about the udder — she has an enviable rear udder arch score of 45 and rear udder height score of 40 and a fore udder attachment score of 36. (Those of you who breed for the elusive 40-40-40 udder will know how amazing this is!)

The sire, Cabochon XY Prosecco, has Superior Genetics awards on both sides of his pedigree. He has strong dairy character with great angularity and openness. Prosecco’s dam, SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (EX VEEE 91). is a permanent champion, has a Superior Gentics designation and milked more than 900 pounds last lactation. We have three Prosecco daughters in our herd and all have beautiful udders with large, easy to milk teats.

So we’re expecting this darling doe to be an exceptional milker and would be thrilled to see her go to a home that is interested in participating in MDGA virtual shows. She will be registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association and a first generation Mini Alpine. Her brother will be available as a companion pet.

Sire – Cabochon XY Prosecco
Dam – Carl B’s FB Marceline *M

Chenin’s Triplets

Posted on April 2, 2022April 2, 2022 by admin

One of my favorite things about Chenin is how easily she kids. She delivered triplets in about 15 minutes this year which is a blessing when you’re in the middle of a hectic kidding season!

Chenin is a nice all-around doe. She milked 984 lbs last year and scored VVEV 88 on linear appraisal. Chenin’s strongest points are her incredible depth of body, nice straight legs and her large, correctly placed teats.

Sire – Cabochon ZZ Sweet William *B
Dam – Cabochon XY Chenin Blanc 2*M VVEV 88
