If
you are interested in any of the does on the first fresh or junior doe
pages, feel free to let me know of your interest, and I will contact you
if your choice becomes available.
I won't offer a doe as show quality unless
I really believe it to be true. As most of us do, I have a continuing
population problem! Both of the does below are very strong in conformation
and have a lot to offer.

Rhiannon
is a lovely, sharp, open doe with a fascinating older pedigree,
very nice udder attachments, and beautiful general appearance. She
could use a bit more capacity but that may come with an additional
freshening or two. Can be bred to the buck of your choice for an
additional fee.
Sold, thanks AnnMarie!! |
As expected,
Celestial has turned out to be a very good milker, though her
late first milk test doesn't quite reflect the amount she was
producing early in her lactation. Her udder is very high and wide
in the rear with her dam's well extended foreudder. Though this
udder is extremely tightly attached, the teats do point forward.
Usually when you see this is it is a case of poor rear attachments
that allow the udder to swing forward, but that really is not
the case here--it honestly does seem to be a case of not so great
teat placement. Her udder is also a bit asymmetrical from the
rear, with a bit of a wayward teat on the right. Other than these
peculiarities, she is a very well put together doe with a great
pedigree and a very solid and productive udder. I was very
pleased that she gave me a stunning daughter by Tuan to keep this
year. For

(Photo
by Declan Dean) Is this an incredible pedigree, or what?
The result of a very confusing birth situation where two does kidded
at the exact same time and each claimed ALL of the kids ("Mine!!
Mine, mine, mine! All mine!!!" "Nope, mine, I swear. Yup.
All 6 of them.") Although I love Kestrel dearly, I have to
admit I was thrilled when DNA proved that this gorgeous little doe
was Pacifica's.
Unfortunately,
despite her dam's gorgeous udder, Meridian has freshened with an
udder that qualifies her for beloved pet status without papers.
Sold!
