Posted on July 23, 2022December 1, 2024 by admin

High Tide (a.k.a. Zoe) wrapped up our kidding season with a very nice set of triplets bred for excellent milk production and conformation. We strongly prefer a home that participates in milk test for these kids.

Cabochon DP High Tide 3*M is very dairy doe who tops the charts for milk production and is within range of being a top 10 milker as she matures. As a yearling first freshener, Zoe milked1,040 lbs in 305 days and then continued on to 319 days with a total of 1,090 lbs for her first lactation. As a two year old this year, she milked 5.8 lbs on her first test! Zoe has an incredibly soft, supple udder and milks out like a dream. We have only shown Zoe a couple of times and she has done well in the ring.

The kids’ sire is Cabochon DJ Casanova *B out of Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M who has the longevity we look for, scoring Ex 90 for the third time at 8 years old.
