Monserrat

Monserrat delivered buck/doe twins on February 21st. Her kids are growing well and bouncing all over place making their mother crazy, as all good goat kids do.

Monserrat milked well as a first freshener last year easily earning her milk star and she has some of the largest, easiest to milk teats in the herd. As a junior, Monserrat earned 3 Reserve Grand Champions and a Grand Champion but has not had the opportunity to show yet as a senior because the 2020 Minnesota show season was cancelled due to COVID. Both her sire and dam have appraised Ex90.

The sire, Cabochon ZZ Sweet William *B, is sire to a Superior Genetic Grand Champion doe, SGCH Cabochon Petit Sirah 2*M. Both his sire and dam appraised Ex 90 as well.

Monserrat gifted us with a conveniently timed (8:00 PM), easy delivery on March 22th. She took to mothering immediately and has been an incomparable mother ever since. Anytime a baby gets a little too far away, you can hear her distinctive voice ringing through the barn to call the wayward kid back to her side.

Since Monserrat is a first freshener, we plan to wether these kids so we can evaluate her development before determining if we want to offer bucks from her. But there is a lot to like about these guys so I may be repeating this breeding next year. I’m quite pleased with Monserrat’s first milk test where she miked 3.5 lbs at only 2 weeks fresh.
