Finally coming into the final stretch for this kidding season! 3 Does left to kid, 2 are due around June 19th and last one due around July 4th.
1. Rancho de San Isidro Rosalinda is a first freshener bred to my polled buck LAME Acres Spartacus (due June 17th). Rosalinda has 100% Goldthwaite lines so I’m excited to see what she does. Spartacus comes from my Doe Lorelai who has always been my highest milk producer and longest lactations for these last few years. So he should add some good high production genetics to this kidding. Hoping for some polled doelings🤞🏼
2. Gilly’s Forever Sweet Lorelai is bred to
my young buck C&W Farm Blue Cupid. He’s got Noel’s Comet and Lucky King as his Grand Sires on each side, so I expect great things from this buck! Along with Lorelai’s high milk production and long lactations these kids should be amazing! I’ve been milking Lorelai for 2 yrs straight and with once a day milking she has still been giving me 10-12 cups a da. It’s bee about impossible to dry her up to prepare her for kidding. She still have a super full udder and she’s due to kid again on June 19th. I have stopped milking her but hope it gives her body enough time to prepare for this kidding. This is Lorelai’s 3rd freshening
3. Last to kid will be my Polled Doe LAME Acres Lacey bred to LAME Acres Flash.
Lacey is a 3rd freshener and she’s huge and very uncomfortable! She had triplets her first kidding and twins her second. I’m wondering how many she has in there this time 😬. Line bred her back to my original Doe who was a Noel’s Comet Grand daughter, Crow’s Dairy Rhonda was easily a 2 gallon a day producer and would keep producing for 2 yrs straight! And then also this is a line breeding back to Crow’s Dairy Owen who was also a Noel’s Comet Grandson. And I’m hoping for some polled doelings from this kidding as well. I always seem to get polled bucklings, but not many doelings🙃
