Sassy came to me by way of a dear friend in Georgia. She is one tough old lady. She adapted well to the change from the mild South Georgia winters to our harsh Kansas weather. Soon to be 10 years old and she is still milking well and standing up on good strong feet. I am very pleased with her hardiness.  This year she has been bred to our new buck, Pete.   We will offer any buck kids for sale but will retain all doe kids.  Sassy's son, Ramsey, was sold to Vanessa Ragan in Skiatook, OK.  I am almost as pleased with his doe kids as Vanessa is.  They have shown well and beaten my does kids in the ring.  We are both looking forward to see how Sassy's granddaughters freshen in 2007.  Due to her age, the unpredictable feed quality, and my desire to try to get a few more kids from this old lady, I only milked her for 109 days.  When her milk production dropped to less than 6 lbs. on test, I dried her off.  In 2007, I plan to give her the change to finally earn her milking star.

Gypsy is another of my older does. She is often mistaken for an Oberhasli because of her vivid bay coloring. I did not show her until she was five years old. I thought that she was lovely but small in stature. I took her to a show to help fill a class and she went GCH! She did the same at the next two shows and earned her permanent champion status within a month. She is also bred to Pete.  We will retain any doe kids and offer buck kids for sale.  Gypsy became ill soon after she freshened with a uterine infection.  As a result, she did not milk well and was excused from linear appraisal.  I felt that to save her life, I had to dry her off.  She was on teset for only 72 days.  Her 2007 kidding and lactation will determine if she will be retired. 

Blyss is one of my children's favorite milkers because of her sweet disposition and ease of milking. She is a very long bodied and level doe that carries herself with a natural elegance. Blyss is truly a milk goat.  Her foreudder leaves a lot to be desired, but she makes up for it in udder capacity.  We milked her for 211 days and she produced 1,973 lbs.  I feel guilty for not milking her longer.  Since it is difficult to find help with milking while we are at shows, we had to make the hard decision to dry off does not on the show string.  She is bred to Romeo for March 2007 kids.  Since we have a beautiful doe kid (Dorema Farm Doracus) from 2006 by Dr. Pepper, we will offer her second doe kid and buck kids for sale.

Peia is the star of the herd these days.  We just love her golden buckskin color.  She has freshened with a beautiful foreudder for the second time.  She has shown well for me too.  At the AGS Nationals in Duncan, OK, she was RCH Alpine doe.  At the Tulsa State Fair, she won GCH Alpine doe.  She still has not won her permanent championship, but I feel that it is just a matter of time.  I am so pleased with the strength and body capacity she has developed as she has matured.  She is bred to Sunshine Segni Serapis.  We will offer her second doe kid and bucks for sale.

Cassandra is the daughter of one of the oldest and heaviest milkers that I have ever owned. Her dam, Susanna, milked 12-14 lbs of milk thru 12 lactations.  My beloved Suzanna only gave me two doe kids in all those years.  Cassandra was the one that I chose to keep.  Before she died, Sus blessed me with over 25 buck kids - often triplet bucks!  It became a family joke and I despaired of ever getting a doe.  Needless to say that I am very fond of Cassie after waiting over 10 years for her.  She earned her milking star at a one day milk test as a three year old.  She is very sharp and dairy with tremendous width between her ribs.  I have to work very hard to keep her from putting all her weight into the milk bucket.  In the show ring, judges either love or hate her for her extreme dairyness.  After four years of placing from top to bottom and everywhere in between in the show ring, she finally won our first BDIS ribbon at the Indian Nations Rite of Spring show in Kellyville, OK.  This year, she is bred to Romeo.  Very much like her mother, in three freshenings she has only given me one doe kid sired by Dr. Pepper.  Since she is a recorded grade, no buck kids are for sale and it would take a fortune to convince me to part with any doe kids.
