We later chose her by pedigree and were surprised to realize she was the same doeling we had so admired when we went to pick her up. We were thrilled and honored to finally be able to bring home this daughter of a Top Ten doe and we were as proud of her as if we’d bred her ourselves when she made Top Ten in the number 1 position herself. She also ranked in the Top Ten for butterfat and protein in 2018, showing her milk is as rich as it is plentiful. We have been again honored to bring her back to hang out with her half sister for her remaining years. Celerity is a devoted mother and tends to be an easy keeper. She’s not overly pushy with other goats, but she is very protective over her little ones and very patient with them. Linear Appraisal: 85 EEVA @ 11-06
Clemency consistently has had the highest butterfat of any of our does since the first year she was here. We’ve had 3 paternal half sisters of hers over the years and have been impressed by every one of them. One of her paternal half sisters was our first doe to earn an LA score of 90 and another peaked at 19 pounds of milk a day and was still milking a gallon a day at 10 months fresh, which earned her the #1 ranking of the Top Ten milkers in the country that year. Clemency’s most noticeable trait though, is that she’s nearly always the first doe to come greet us and the last to leave our side, if she ever does step away, while we’re out visiting the herd during the day. She’s often a choice to jump on the milking stand for folks who have never milked to learn on because of her easy-going, willing personality. Linear Appraisal: 91 EEEE @ 11-06

She's been on the Top Ten list twice for milk production (2017 & 2018) and once for butterfat production (2017). She's a very affectionate doe w/ her people, but over the years she's become very dominant with other does. She's lived all over the country and milked well everywhere she's been. Her lifetime milk record is rapidly approaching 20,000 pounds. Despite milking so heavily, her udder has held up well. We have had the pleasure of milking Windy's dam, maternal aunt, her half sister out of her maternal aunt, daughters, granddaughters and many other descendants and near relatives. Her sire was also in our herd for a time, but knowing how well loved she was by her breeder, we never dreamed she might one day come our herd. Her favorite person only let her come here when she retired from raising Nubian goats altogether and for this, we are greatly honored. If Windy kindly blesses us with more descendants while she is here, we will be overjoyed, but we are content that she seems to be happy here among old friends and her progeny. As a testament to her will to milk and her ability to handle change, her milk production only dipped for a few days as she recovered from the trip from Nebraska to Texas.
Fiona is the granddaughter of two Top Ten does. She produced enough to earn her milk star as a first freshener despite moving across the country and facing other daunting stresses. She is sweet tempered and somewhat timid in nature, which has left her to be bullied by other goats at times. Fiona found a youngster looking for a goat to love because the other ‘love of her life’ was growing older. When she proved as easy to milk as she was to handle, she found herself with a place to stay.

We’re very pleased with the length of lactation and the shape and style of her udder, which is very reminiscent to that of her paternal granddam, Sunshine. This doe easily stays in milk as long as someone shows up to milk her, with every lactation over a year long on test. She was ‘adopted’ as a favorite by a then 5 year old because she is his favorite doe to milk. She jumps up on the milking stand readily and never kicks. She also willingly took over mothering a young wether when paired with him after his dam was sold. Sapphire has already appraised quite a bit higher than her dam at the same age, so it’s been very gratifying to watch her mature and show off the success of our breeding program.

G6S Normal, disbudded Sunny is milking beautifully and willingly adopted an orphan kid as a first freshener without anyone asking her to do so. She handily out milked all of her agemates as a first freshener and was hesitant to dry up. Excellent mothering and milky in a way that’s very reminiscent of her dam, Hard Earned Acres Sunshine.

It was a blessing that she was offered to us by a dear friend unexpectedly. Tiger Lilly found her place here by popular demand of the younger generation even before a certain little one fell in love with her and claimed her for their own. She’s been willing to let the then 2 year old child who still adores her lead her anywhere, despite far outweighing the child at the time. She’s been milked primarily by that youngster even as a first freshener, so it’s pretty safe to say she’s easy going and easy to milk. Many a time she’s been spotted in a pen or pasture with that child’s arms around her neck or nestled up against her sides when she’s chilling and chewing her cud. Linear Appraisal: 85 +VAV@ 02-05
