Amelia

Calliope delivered quintuplets on April 1st and being the ELITE milker that she is, she is easily feeding them all and they are thriving under her care. This breeding emphasizes milk production and we are expecting the doelings to continue the family tradition of being exceptional milkers who who are top performers in the breed.

Calliope is a standout milker who earned a Superior Genetics designation and ELITE status as a first freshener. She comes from a long line of proven milkers and is a fourth generation Superior Genetics doe a second generation ELITE milker. Calliope has large teats and a very soft udder texture which make her a joy to milk by hand.

Calliope’s kids are sire by Cabochon DP Dry Ice *B, an exciting young buck that brings together some of the best in our herd. His dam is an Elite milker and his grand dams on both sides of his pedigree are SGCH does scoring VEEE 91. We are expecting Ice to produce excellent milkers who can perform in the showring as well as on the milk stand.

Amelia had a quick and easy delivery on March 27th, giving us an adorable set of triplets. Amelia is a beautiful goat with outstanding production milking over1,100 pounds and top-of-the line conformation scoring VEEE 90 on Linear Appraisal with that all important “Excellent” in mammary.

The kids’ sire is a young buckling out of our newest Elite milker, Cabochon PR Diamond Dust 3*M ELITE. We only made it to one show last year due to COVID cancellations, but Diamond took first place in all three rings as a yearling milker with comments from the judges on her impressive udder.

We are expecting these kids to be strong performers in the ring as well as on the milk stand. We are planning to retain one of these doelings and will be offering the buckling as a herd sire.

Amelia delivered a much anticipated AI buckling by Heaven’s
Hollow Sig Sauer, the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck, on
April 20th.

His pedigree certainly has a lot to offer as a herd sire. His dam milked 1,104 pounds last year and has excellent dairy strength and lovely general appearance. She scored VEEE on Linear Appraisal as a 4 year old with an “E” in mammary.

His sire’s dam, SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki *M, has many outstanding
accomplishments including 2012 National Reserve Best Udder, 2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf, 2014 Top Ten Milk Production, and LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old.
