Amber’s Twins

Posted on April 1, 2022 by admin

Amber delived a striking pair of buck/ doe twins on February 25th. She had a quick, easy birth and imediately took to the duties of motherhood.

Amber’s daughter is a stunning black and white beauty and should grow up to be an elegant doe with the potential to be an excellent show goat. Since Amber is a first freshener this year, her buckling will be wethered. With his colorful markings and energetic personality he’ll make a great pet.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon DJ Casanova *B, has produced some exceptional daughters. His daughters have multiple show wins and production awards including a Superior Genetics daughter, SG Cabochon CN Whatchamacallit 2*M VEEV 90.

Champagne’s Doeling

Posted on April 1, 2022 by admin

This breeding brings together exceptional genetics for conformation and production from both their sire and dam. Champagne is a permanent champion and a Superior Genetics designated doe with an LA score of VEEE 91. Champagne have proven her ability to produce exceptional daughters with the most outstanding being SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M VVEE 90. I am expecting this little doeling to follow in the family footsteps.

Her sire, Cabochon SIG Marco Polo, excels in general appearance and dairy character and is sired by the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck, Heaven’s Hollow Sig Sauer. We love his front end assembly and his angularity.

Marco’s dam, Cabochon Amelia VEEE 91, is a beautiful doe with excellent conformation and exceptional production milking more than 1,100 pounds in her third lactation.

Marco’s sire’s dam, SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki (EEEE 91), is a Superior Genetics Grand Champion who has many outstanding accomplishments including:

Maple’s Triplet Bucklings

Posted on March 28, 2022 by admin

Maple easily delivered three bucklings on February 7th. After freshening three Prosecco daughters and seeing their gorgeous udders and large teats, I knew he would be a perfect match for Maple to produce correct udders and large, easy to milk teats. While we didn’t get any doelings this year, two of her bucklings are available as a herd sire.

Cabochon PB Mapleshade 4*M VVEE 90, comes from a line of proven milkers and has a beautiful, correct udder with soft, easily expressed teats. We’ve retained two doelings from Maple and both have won Grand Champion at the very first show they attended.

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.

Windsong had quadruplets for the third year in a row delivering 2 doelings and 2 bucklings on January 19th. These doelings are excellent prospects for anyone seeking chart-topping production. We would love to see these girls go to a performance home participating in DHIR Milk Test.

Windsong is has a proven track record of extremely high performance production producing 1,390 pounds last year putting her very close to some Top10 Nigerians.

As a second freshener, she milked 1,310 pounds in 305 days (making the Elite doe list), then continued on to milk for 582 days straight producing 2,099 pounds which put her on the Elite list again in 2019 while milking through!

Lady Slipper’s Mini Alpine Twins

Posted on July 5, 2021 by admin

Lady Slipper freshened with buck/doe twins on May 19th, just a few hours after her sister, Lilac. It was fun having them freshen on the same day. The kids are second generation Mini Alpines and will be registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association (MDGA). We are sure the doeling will excel as a home milker and potentially a show goat as well. Lady Slipper is easy to hand milk and and a joy to have around the barn.

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.
