We are nearly done with kidding season 2022!  We have 8 senior does and 8 first fresheners kidding this year.  We offer animals for sale, whether your goal is showing in ADGA or 4-H, home milk production, or companion animals.  We plan to make it to an ADGA show about once a month over the summer, and to participate in DHIR, LA, and DNA testing (ADGA Plus).

For 2021, we freshened 15 does.  We had 10 does confirmed to kid in March, and continued with the other 5 does into the summer.  We participated in DHIR and DNA typing this year.  Our show schedule started in May, and we hit shows once a month through September (CO, WY).  Linear Appraisal was possible for us in October, and we were thrilled to be a part of that program.  I am so excited about our entire crop of milking yearlings, and this year's kids from Sonny and Laureate were outstanding!
