Amber – Cabochon Farm

Amber’s Twins

Posted on May 23, 2024 by admin

Cabochon DP Amber 3*M had an easy delivery of buck/doe twins on March 27th and is milking well on her third lactation. The kids are both super friendly and the doeling is polled.

Amber milked 868 lbs last year as a second freshener and her first milk test this year was 3.7 lbs at 19 days in milk. Some of Amber’s strongest traits are her wide (31), level (30) rump and her rear udder height (34). Amber has ideal teat placement (27).

The kids’ sire, Cabochon SIG Marco Polo AI *B, excels in general appearance and dairy character. Marco’s dam, GCH (pending) Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 91, is a gorgeous doe with beautiful conformation and excellent production milking more than 1,100 pounds in her third lactation.

Marco is sired by the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck, Heaven’s Hollow Sig Sauer. Sig Sauer’s dam, SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki (EEEE 91), is a Superior Genetics Grand Champion who has many outstanding accomplishments including:
-2012 National Reserve Best Udder
-2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf
-2014 Top Ten Milk Production
-LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old

Amber’s Triplets

Posted on January 25, 2023February 20, 2023 by admin

Cabochon DP Amber 3*M kicked off our 2023 kidding season with a set of triplets on January 19th. She had a quick, easy birth and never missed a beat transitioning into her second lactation. The kids are thriving and are excellent prospects for show, 4H and home milkers. All three kids are available as of this posting.

Amber milked well as first freshener last year producing 822 lbs in 277 days. (We shortened her lactation in order to bump her up to a January kidding date this year.) Some of Amber’s strongest traits are her wide (31), level (30) rump; and her rear udder height (34). Amber had a very nice first freshening udder scoring “V” on appraisal with ideal teat placement (27). I’m excited to see how she looks as a second freshener this year.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon DJ Casanova *B, is the son of GCH (pending) Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M EEEV 90 who has exceptional longevity, winning her latest Grand Championship at 11 years old at the highly competitive Bluff Country show. Casanova’s daughters have multiple show wins and production awards including a Superior Genetics daughter, SG Cabochon CN Whatchamacallit 2*M VEEV 90.

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.
