Stormstruck’s 2020 Quads

Stormstruck once again gave us quadruplets with 3 does and a buck delivered on February 28th. The pedigree on these kids is absolutely stacked for performance top and bottom. Both dam and sire’s dam are Superior Genetics Grand Champions with VEEE 91 LA scores. We are expecting these kids to be all around performers who can milk 1,000 pounds plus per lactation.

On their maternal side, both their dam, SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M (VEEE 91), and grand-dam have earned ADGA’s Superior Genetics designation. Stormstuck’s daughter, SG Cabochon AR Windsong 3*M , and granddaughter, SG Cabochon ZZ Calliope 4*M , are both ADGA Elite does.

On their paternal side, the sire’s dam, SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (VEEE 91) , is a stunning doe with a beautiful mammary. Their sire’s sire, Dynamo Falcon Ziggzag (VEE 90), has excellent conformation (scoring Ex 90 twice on Linear Appraisal) and brings phenomenal milk production. His dam is litter mate sister to the dam of the all-time high producing Nigerian, SG Sugar Moon V Zuzanna 4*M. He also has two SG Daughters in our herd: SG Cabochon ZZ Sierra Nevada 3*M and SG Cabochon ZZ Calliope who made her debut on the Elite doe list at the 98th percentile as a yearling first freshener.

Because we believe strongly in supporting those who do performance testing and contribute data to improve the Nigerian Dwarf breed, a discount will be available for homes that participate in DHIR Milk Test and Linear Appraisal.

Windsong’s Quadruplets

Windsong delivered quadruplets on February 19th with 3 bucklings and a doeling. The family is doing well and Windsong is feeding them all with plenty of milk to go around.

Windsong is an extremely heavy milker who milked an amazing 1,310 pounds in 305 days in her second lactation making the Elite doe list. She 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 boys will be available and we are retaining the doeling for now. Please contact me if you would like to be notified if she becomes available later.

Penelope’s Quadruplets

Penelope delivered an adorably matched set of Mini Alpine quadruplets on February 15th – 2 does, 2 bucks. Just like last year, Penelope waited until Kati could be with her before delivering. I kept an eye on her most of the night and all morning while she pawed and paced but refused to deliver. Once Kati returned from her violin lesson and checked in on Penelope, it was less than 10 minutes before baby number one was on the ground. Was there ever a stronger bond between a girl and her goat?

Our Mini Alpine kids are registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association and come from parents with quality proven by Linear Appraial scores and milk test data. Their dam, Carl B’s BJ PenelopeRose *M (VEVV 89), has scores of Excellent in the all important back, rump and mammary system. Their sire, Aubrey’s Acres Phan Boy (VEE 90), delivers solid udders while reducing overall size.

Mini Alpines make wonderful homestead milk goats who can produce almost a gallon a day of rich, delicious milk – perfect for drinking fresh or making cheese and ice cream.

All four kids are available. Contact us for more information.

Dolly’s Triplet Bucks

Dolly kicked off our 2020 kidding season by delivering triplet bucklings on January 30th. This is Dolly’s eighth freshening and she is just as vigorous and attentive as ever. The boys are growing fast and love a good scratch and cuddle.

Their sire, Cabochon ZZ Dom Pérignon, brings together exceptional genetics for conformation and production from both his sire and dam.  Perry’s dam, SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (EX VEEE 9i). is a permanent champion, has a Superior Genetics designation who milks over 900 pounds.

Their dam, Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M (EEEV 90) “Dolly”, excels in the show ring, conformation and production. She has two Grand Champion wins, four Reserve Grand Champions and numerous first place wins. She has twice scored Ex 90 on linear appraisal and exceeded 900 pounds in her last lactation.
