Bodacious – Cabochon Farm

Scarlet’s Twins

Posted on June 4, 2024 by admin

Cabochon CN Scarlet delivered twin doelings by Better Wayz Bodacious *B on April 13th. This is Scarlet’s first freshening and she is already off to a great start as a yearling milker making 5 lbs on her first milk test at 37 days in milk and winning Best Udder in her age class at her very first show.

Scarlet is a nice combination of her sire and dam’s best traits. Scarlet’s sire, Cabochon DJ Casanova +*B, produces stylish daughters with level toplines and correct feet and legs. Scarlet’s dam, Cabochon DP Amber 3*M is a wide doe who scored an E in rump as a 3-year-old second freshener.

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.

Polka Dot’s Triplets

Posted on May 2, 2024June 8, 2024 by admin

Cabochon PR Polka Dot 4*M easily delivered triplets on March 25th. These kids have the pedigree to perfom in both the show ring and the milk parlour. Polka Dot’s first freshening udder was high and wide with a nice foreudder and it looks like it’s going to be even better this year. Polka Dot has amazing production with 973 lbs in 290 days as a yearling. She also shines in the show ring earning a Grand Champion as a junior at the Quad State show in Iowa and first place yearling milker at the Best of the Midwest show in Minnesota.

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.

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.
