Southern by choice
Herd Master
"Turbo Charged" 3 months old.
Had to do a bit of travel but well worth it
We had asked the breeder to keep us in mind a year ago. We were so excited when she called. We felt it was best for the breeder to pick for us. The first buckling was absolutely gorgeous and his dam (on milktest) produces 16# a day. I was very nervous about asking if she had another buck.
She knows what she is doing and I did not want to insult her... so why did ask about another? Because most of our goats are going to hand milker homes and the teats were on the smaller side for hand milking. All her goats are machine milked. She was wonderful about it and said she understood.
I was very glad as she is extremely selective and registers very few bucks. She will not put her name on a goat if she won't keep it for herself. She did have another! Although normally she does not keep any bucks out of a first freshener the sire and dam produced such nice kids she kept BOTH bucks the doe had.
She has been doing DHIR(milktest) and Linear Appraisals for many years, friday was her latest LA. Our new bucklings dam appraised at an 89 the HIGHEST score a first freshener can get!
The sire is a yearling... he appraised at an 86. I will not be surprised if within a few years the doe attains a 91-93 and the buck at least a 90.
Incredible genetics. The breeder no longer shows but continues with the rest and is truly an inspiration. Very humble and just beautiful goats! Big goats too!
We need a name though - NOT calling him "Turbo Charged"
and yes he is PEEING so his front legs are not in the right place but who cares... About the only time he stands still is when he is peeing.
