DesertHardt NMN Sweet Surprise 6*M GVVV87 @03-YRS Old- 2F (1x Jr. GCH, 1x Sr. RCH )

This is about a 14 hour fill because in the evenings it’s hard to get motivated when you’re 20 weeks pregnant the suns burning the ground below. Honestly the whole herd has been troopers between my inconsistent milkings, skipping a milking & leaving them for a week with the farm sitter to help a dear friend at Nationals.

Arizona - Utah - Colorado - Nebraska & BACK!!

We attend the 2025 ADGA National Show in Grand Island, Nebraska. Had an amazing time visiting with goat friends that I don’t often see unless I travel hundreds of miles from home.

I had the pleasure of helping the Wolfivan Ranch herd from behind the scenes & I’d say we operated like a well oiled machine!! I mean you try telling a pen full of gold does apart when you’re not their primary caregiver 😂 (thanks Renee Wolf for the handful of name tags👏🏻). Does were shuffled ringside, relieved & retaped with efficiency😉 Glad to say I got to be part of the success for a second year in a row ✨2025 Reserve National Champion✨

Made it to Nebraska Sunday afternoon & the days have been a blur since 😂 I know we haven’t even been here long but when you’re put to work handling in & out of the ring you start to go crazy. 🤪

Junior Nigerians showed today, congrats to Stomping C Farms & Winning Streak Nigerians on your Nationall winning juniors today! 👏🏻♥️

Now to shower, eat and gear up for a early AM start for Sr. Nigerian Milkers tomorrow!!

It’s truly an amazing feeling seeing a junior doe you sold to a promising herd in WA succeed in the show ring! This is honestly a first for our herd and I’m love being their cheerleader from afar!

DesertHardt HB Hidden Gold was one of three triplets born to a first freshening doe. I made the decision to retain one of the two doelings and allowed the second to join Echo Ridge Farms with Ashely and her family. Their management is top notch because Hidden Gold has thrived in their herd from DAY ONE!! Can’t wait to continue to watch their success with their up & coming herd.♥️🏵️👏🏻

This past Monday we attended our 5th year participating in Linear Appraisal, & only our 2nd year having senior does in our herd name appraised. We didn’t retain our first kid until close to three years into breeding goats, we chose to prove out our foundation does first.

Anywho!! Onto what you’re really here for SCORES!
Our yearlings have always been slow to mature, so I agree they were scored appropriately and I’m eager to see them mature with another freshening!

♥️Ohh this sweet foundation doe of mine, she’s chalked full of attitude and has a work ethic to milk that’ll out full a horse. At the ripe age of 6 years old with 6 freshenings under her belt she snagged E in front & rear legs!! Those puppies ain’t breaking down anytime soon😉 E in back & V in head (it’s a solid head, pun intended).

Thank you OwlHaven for once again being our host herd for the 5th year!

Sami (barn name) is a yearling FF that’s proven her potential in our herd immensely this show season. Shes been placed 1st in her classs 4 times out of 6 judges (Az & Tx age classes). I look at Sami & all I see is her grand-dam Creosote Ranch Dairy Goats - Calamity Jane, a doe that had incredible power and the perfect balance of dairy strength. What’s the cherry on top?? Sami’s grand dam is our stunning foundation doe Trouble, talk about the perfect stacked foundation.

This weekend the herd & I decided to stay put & gear up for the next adventure. Of course this meant watching our friends attend shows, including lil Hidden Gold who was shown by her owners in WA at the Udder Spectacular!! This show had over 100 ND juniors entered & this gem was named Reserve Champion under two of the judges!! Thank you Echo Ridge Farms for helping this sweet doe rise to her full potential!♥️🏵️

Today, at just three months old, this little powerhouse doe brought home TWO Reserve Champion titles!
From the moment I had the opportunity to bring her into my herd, I knew she was something special. She truly is my hidden gold.

This doe has exceeded every expectation — with strength, beautiful feet and legs, and a level topline that just keeps getting better. She carries herself with confidence and grace far beyond her age, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this golden girl.

Whew!! 😥

Was March a blur for anyone else or just us?? Somehow we were able to sneak in TWO milk tests (23 daysys apart). Our goal is to smash out as many tests before our busy show schedule & awful Arizona heat arrives!

You’ll notice a few does did drop quite a bit between tests, I had a few go off feed for a few days and because of it it took a toll on milk production. Happy to report they’re back up and eager to get another test in to make up for the drop. Few does also need to be added onto our next test, they were to fresh at the time.
