Juniper

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.

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.

Cabochon WM Juniper 5*M easily delivered twin bucklings on Feb 15th. This is a repeat breeding to Cabochon XY Prosecco because we really liked the resulting kid last year. These boy are both looking very promising and may be available as herd sires. As a bonus, both of the boys are have Juniper’s stunning blue eyes.

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. While Juniper only had a single as a first freshener, I am very happy with her udder and am excited to see the increased capacity she gets with her second freshening. 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 her Grand Champion junior leg at her very first show. As a bonus, her blue eyes and moon spots make her a standout in the herd.

Prosecco is a stong buck whose daughters have amazing udders with excellent attachments and large, well-placed teats. I have three milking daughters who have all appraised “Excellent” on mammary and who millk 1,000-1,200 pounds. One is already a finished champion at three years old. I retained another doeling last year who earned her first leg with a Grand Champion as a junior. Prosecco is the son of SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M LA: VEEE 91. His sire’s dam is also a Superior Genetics VEEE 90 doe, SG Pocket Sized TB Xara.
