Wildfire’s Triplets

Posted on March 31, 2024March 31, 2024 by admin

Cabochon PAN Wildfire 4*M had triplets again this year with two does and a buck. These kids are bred to be excellent show prospects and they already look the part with level toplines, good angulation and strong legs which is no surpise since their is a strong show history on both sides of their pedigree.

Wildfire is a very stylish, eye-catching doe with a lovely udder with really nice fore udder extension that scored a 37 on linear appraisal as a second freshener. Wildfire has one Grand Champion win, three Reserve Grand Champions and two Best Udder awards. She milked over 900 lbs as a second freshener.

The sire, Cabochon PR Touché *B, is line bred on our lovely SGCH Carl B’s OH Champagne *M (VEEE 91) His dam is SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M (VEEE90). who 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 of 496 days producing 1,238 lbs and appraised VVEE 90 while milking through. In 2021, Petit was one of only five does to earn the coveted ANDDA Total Performer award. In 2022 Petit was appraised at VEEE 90.

Indian Summer’s Twins

Posted on March 30, 2024March 30, 2024 by admin

Cabochon PR Indian Summer 3*M gave us a beautiful buck and doe this year. She was carrying quadruplets, but unfortunately one died putting her into early labor and we lost another during delivery. It’s always sad to lose kids, but I am grateful that we have two healthy kids and most of all that Indy is healthy and doing well.

Indy is a powerhouse in both the milking parlor and the show ring. As a first freshening a two year old, she milked 1,060 lbs and milked 1,200 lbs in both her second and third lactation. She has two Grand Champion wins and four Reserve Grand wins. Indy has a beautifully attached udder, scoring Excellent in mammary on Linear Appraisal. I love her foreudder (38) and her long (40), wide (33) teats make her a dream to milk by hand.

Indy’s pedigree shows her outstanding lineage with Superior Genectics and permanent champions top and bottom. Indy’s dam was of one of our best does, SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M VEEE 91. Her sire is Cabochon XY Prosecco whose dam is SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M VEEE 91.

Bodacious’ pedigree is packed with does with Excellent udders and Excellent 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.

Juniper’s Triplets

Posted on March 15, 2024 by admin

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.

Laya’s Twin Does

Posted on March 14, 2024 by admin

Cabochon WM Himalaya had a pretty set of twin doelings and is doing a wonderful job as a first time mom. Laya earned her first Grand Champion wind as a junior and I’ve been eagerly awaiting her first freshening to get her back in the show ring. She’s off to a great start for production, milking more than 4 lbs on her first test at only 11 days fresh.

The doelings are sired by Cabochon PR Pando *B. Pando is also the sire of two other does in our herd, Cabochon PAN Belive In Angels 5*M and Cabochon PAN Wildfire 4*M.

Amelia’s Quadruplet Bucks

Posted on March 12, 2024 by admin

GCH (pending) Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 91 blessed us with four bucklings this year. She decided to deliver at 3 AM but made up for that offense by having a super easy and quick delivery. The kids are sired by our new junior herdsire, Better Wayz Bodacious *B.

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.

Amelia is a classically beautiful goat with a Linear Appraisal score VEEE 91 as a six year old topping her four year old score of VEEE 90. At seven years old, Amelia finished her permanent championship and milked 1,091 lbs in 294 days proving she has the longevity to continue perfoming well into her maturity.
