Windsong’s Quads -2022

Posted on March 12, 2022March 13, 2022 by admin

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 an extremely heavy milker and she started off this lactation with a whopping 7.3 pounds on her first milk test at only three weeks fresh. 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. Windsong has also proven she has the stamina and will to milk to go far beyond a 305 day lactation. 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!

The sire is Cabochon DJ Casanova *B out of Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M EEEV90 who has the longevity we look for, scoring Ex 90 for the third time at 8 years old. Casanova has already proven his abiltiy to sire daughters with outstanding production and excellent conformation. He is sire to SG Cabochon CN Whatchamacallit 2*M “Libby” VEEV 90 who milked 1,247 pound last year .

Tsunami’s Doeling

Posted on September 4, 2021September 6, 2021 by admin

Tsunami easily delivered a beautiful single doeling on June 23. As a daughter of one of our best does, SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M VEEE 91, Tsnumai is carrying on in mother’s footsteps with a beautifully attached udder and amazing spring of rib. She’s already milking very well as a yearling and I’m looking forward to watching her mature.

I really wanted to add another Casanova daughter to the herd this year so this little lady will be staying. I am looking forward to watching her grow up.

High Tide’s Twins

Posted on August 16, 2021 by admin

High Tide easily delivered twins right on her due date of May 18th. As a daughter of one of our best does, SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M VEEE 91, we were expecting great things from this very dairy doe and she is certainly living up to those expectations.

High Tide is milking a phenomenal amount for a yearling first freshener at 4.3 and 4.6 and 4.2 pounds on her first three milk tests. She has an incredibly soft, supple udder and milks out like a dream.

The kids’ sire is Cabochon SIG Marco Polo *B AI, a promising young buck out of Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 91. Amelia is an exceptional milker who produced over 1,100 lbs during her 3rd lactation and scored VEEE 91 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 EEEE 91, who has many outstanding accomplishments including 2012 National Reserve Best Udder, 2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf, 2014 Top Ten Milk Production, and excellent longevity with an LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old.

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.

Lilac freshened with an adorable set of twin bucklings on May 19th. The boys are super sweet and will make great pet wethers. Lilac herself is proving to be a very easy milker with nice sized teats and large orifices.

Angel’s Twins

Posted on July 4, 2021 by admin

Angel easily delivered buck/doe twins on May 15th. Both kids look so much like Angel and have so much of her personality that you can’t miss them in herd. Angel is a yearling first freshener this year who rocked her first milk test with 3.7 lbs at only 20 days in milk. It looks like her milk production is going to take after her dam, SG Cabochon ZZ Calliope 4*M, who has made every Elite list each each year since she freshened as a yearling herself.

Diamond had a single doeling on April 27th and we will be retaining this lovely girl. Diamond is that daughter of one of our best does, SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M VEEE 91, who we sadly lost this year in kidding so we are excited to be able to retain another generation of her line.

Posted on July 4, 2021July 4, 2021 by admin

Josephine had quadruplets again this year easily and quickly delivering three doelings and a buckling on April 9th. Unfortunately we lost one of the doelings, but the other three are thriving. Josephine is a beautifully elegant doe who catches everyone’s eye. Josephine has large teats which makes her a favorite on the milk stand. She is one of the smaller goats in the herd at just under 20 inches tall.

The sire, Cabochon ZZ Sweet William *B, has produced some exceptional daughters. His daughters have multiple show wins and production awards including a Superior Genetics Grand Champion daughter, SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M VVEE 90

Trinket’s Twins

Posted on May 11, 2021 by admin

Trinket delivered twins in the middle of the afternoon on April 8th. It is so nice when a doe decides not to deliver in the middle of the night! Both of these kids are long like their dam. The boy is totally a lap goat and impossible to take photos of because you can’t get far enough away from him to get a photo without someone holding on to him. Since Trinket is a first freshener, he will be wethered and will make a very loving pet.

Trinket has the pedigree to be an excellent milker and we are eager to see how she milks this year. Both her 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. She also has two grand dams who are Superior Genetics does.

The sire Cabochon SIG Marco Polo *B AI is a promising young buck out of Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 90. Amelia is 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.

Sassafras’ Girls

Posted on May 11, 2021 by admin

Sassafras delivered a beautiful set of triplet doelings on April 7th. Unfortunately we lost one of the doelings a few days later. It appears that she was accidently laid on. Thankfully the other two girls are thriving and keeping Sassfras busy with their antics.

These girls should make very nice home milkers. Sassafras has large, well placed teats that are easy to milk by hand or machine. She even has a Grand Champion and a Reserve Grand Champion win as a Junior.
