I’m proud to introduce our two newest Superior Genetics does, SG Cabochon ZZ Calliope and SG Cabochon Petit Sirah, who both earned their Superior Genetics designation as first fresheners.

In addition to earning their SG designations, both of these does distinguished themselves in other accomplishments this year as well. Calliope was an ADGA ELITE doe milking at the 98th percentile and Petit earned her second Grand Champion leg in the show ring.

We strive to improve our herd with every new generation and I am proud to say that Cabochon Farm now has eight Superior Genetics does in our barn.   Thank you to all of our family and friends whose support makes this venture possible!

If you are interested in learning more about our breeding program or to put a reservation on a spring kid, check out our 2020 Kidding Schedule.

The Superior Genetics designation indicates that the animal is in the top 15% (85th percentile ranking or higher) of their breed.  To learn more about the ADGA Superior Genetics program and how the scores are calculated, visit Superior Genetics FAQs.

It’s finally here – the 2019 Kidding Schedule is posted!

We have some very exciting breedings this year including our first AI breeding matching Cabochon ZZ Sierra Nevada with 
CH/MCH Proctor Hill Farm IH Omega Red *B.  Omega Red has an impressive 11 Grand Champion wins with 4 Best Buck in Show wins. We’re looking for him to pass along excellent foreudders and teat placement with his gorgeous general appearance.

Our breeding lineup is full of proven does including four Superior Genetics does,  two permanent champions and several does with Grand Champion wins. If you are looking for high Linear Appraisal scores, you can find it here with SGCH Carl B’s Stormstruck 2*M earning VEEE 91,
SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M earning VEEE 90 and
Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M  earning EEEV 90. 

All of our milking does have earned their milk stars and the entire herd is CAE, CL and Johne’s free so you can be sure your Cabochon Farm kids will be healthy and bring proven performance to you herd.

Check out our 2019 Kidding Schedule  and let us know what’s on your wish list for the spring!

Penelope broke the 2017 trend toward boys by giving us 3 beautiful Mini-Alpine doelings on Sunday, February 26th about 5:00 p.m.  All three are healthy, bouncy kids.

These girls are are destined to be family milkers, bringing together the best from the Nigerian Dwarf and Alpine breeds.

It’s looking a lot like kidding season! Stormstruck should be the first to deliver, followed closely by Dolly and Hurricane. I thought I’d share a couple photos of a very pregnant Stormstruck with those of you who are eagerly waiting with us…
