Shiraz is about as mellow and sweet as a little goat could possibly be. Even though her personality and color are awesome, we primarily kept Shiraz on our farm because of her grand-dam Dakota's awesome milking genetics. Shiraz could be a bit longer bodied but that isn't a big concern. This flashy young doe freshened with a gorgeous udder and we couldn't be more pleased.  Her rear udder is awesome and she is easy to milk and has plenty of capacity and production.  Ideally, Shiraz's teats would point down instead of forward but it is only this obvious with her udder very full.  In the show ring, Shiraz is starting to shine.  In June of 2008, she won her first Best of Breed title and earned her first championship leg in ADGA.  The same day, she also won two reserve grand champion awards.

Magic is a petite, dark chocolate colored doe with a couple of small white patches.  This little doe has a nice long, level body and correct conformation with an especially wide rear leg set.  I am especially impressed with her thin dairy skin, flat ribbing, and short glossy hair coat.  Magic is developing body capacity and has a nice angular, wedge-shaped body.  As you can see in the picture above, Magic has a nice shaped udder with excellent teat placement and good medial division.  Ideally, she could have a wider rear udder attachment but that is being quite critical.  Magic is easy to hand milk and is a very persistant milk producer.  

Update!  WOW!  We showed Magic in a three ring show as a six-year-old last week (6/7/08) and she won Grand Champion twice and reserve Grand Champion once in an ADGA sanctioned show.  The judges loved her dairy character and awesome udder attachment.  In a second show a week later, Magic won another reserve grand champion award in an ADGA sanctioned show. 

“Tessa” had been living next door, but because of my neighbor’s failing health, we adopted this pretty, blue-eyed golden girl.  Tessa is another Megabuck daughter and shows his correct and smoothly blended conformation.  Like her dam, HBF Clio, Tessa is a petite and refined doe.  Tessa is one of my "super producers" and is a high and persistant milk producer.  In the photos above, Tessa had lost much of her udder capacity and the rear udder wasn't full.  However, when full, Tessa's udder is quite impressive.  Although Tessa's teats could be a bit larger, she is still easy to hand milk.  Tessa has an excellent fore udder and great all around attachements.  I am happy to add this blue-eyed doe to my herd and my neighbor is happy to be able to come visit her favorite goat.  Note:  I believe Tessa was deficient in copper this past winter and thus her pale hair coat when clipped this spring.  I gave her copper supplementation and an area that was missing hair on her side grew back in the deep red color as seen above.  Later note:  Tessa is now all red again!  

Sold - thanks Cristen!
