Previously Owned Does
3-31-11
All does below we have owned. They are listed
here because their offspring have either been sold or still reside in
our herd. Hard decisions have to be made when you want to keep your own
kids, otherwise the herd will double or triple too fast. So we have to
let some of them go. Here they are and we miss them all!
Please ask before using our photos. Thanks!

Each doe listed below has a reference page available by clicking her
picture/name.
I have removed some pages a long time ago. Those animals are listed
below this section.
All others will be posted here...

I bought Blossom when she was about 6 months old. We
really liked this doe's udder and quiet demeanor. We retained her 2007
daughter Nottie, which was an improvement over her dam. This year we
retained her red chamoise daughter Raven and are looking forward to
seeing what Rue can do to improve Blossom's teat size. Blossom is a very
sound doe who will make a great foundation doe.

Petite was a doe I bought from a friend knowing she
wasn't a milker. Well I wasn't milking at the time so the match was
great. As our herd goals have changed so has her position in the herd.
So a choice had to be made and we decided it was time for Petite to move
on. She is not a milker by any means. She is an excellent brood doe and
has a beautiful udder so she will definitely be productive. We have
retained her 2008 daughter Gwen by Cruiser.

Potsie is a gorgeous friendly doe. She has a huge
productive udder which I was pleased to see. She isn't a large doe so it
shocked me when she produced quadruplets. She and I had personality
clashes so therefore it was time for her to move on though. I retained
her daughter by Rue, Secrets, to continue her line in my herd.

Buttin'Heads Too Contredanse

Height:
Contredanse has a much prettier udder, in my opinion,
than Potsie's from the rear but Potsie more than surpasses Contredanse
on the side profile. Contredanse and I got along much better, but our
herd grew too large for our plans so I had to make some hard decisions.
In order to keep some of my own kids I had to let some of the adult does
go. I have retained her daughter Cha-Cha to our herd.

I was on the waiting list at Better Blues for a doe kid
out of Oceana. I had to remove my reservation at one point and later
when I looked again she had a long like for doelings out of her. So when
Oceana kidded I jumped at the opportunity to buy her only buckling of
quads. See
Zeus
for more. I was so thrilled to be able to get him. Then a reservation
fell through on one of the doelings and that doeling is Hera. I of
course said, "yes she's mine." So I was thrilled to add an Oceana
daughter and son to my herd. Hera was wild and timid when she got here.
She didn't really change much until after kidding with her doeling
Olympia. Olympia is a bold individual and so friendly that it helped to
encourage Hera to be curious about us. Hera freshened with a very nice
udder. We decided to keep her daughter and let her move on in hopes of
being able to show Olympia. We never did get a decent photo of Hera
because of her timid personality towards being handled. I never tried
after Olympia was born though.

Sire:

Dam:
Little Tot's Estate Weigelia |
The thing that sold me on Minuet as a kid was he
excellent rear end. She has the widest rear end and flattest rump I'd
seen on such a young kid. So she had to come home with me. Her flash and
blue-eyes were just icing on the cake. Minuet freshened for the first
time in February 2008 with triplets. She had a gorgeous udder which was
beautifully attached. She did an excellent job taking care of her three
babies and had the longest teats I'd seen on a first freshener! I was
eager to see her second freshening! Minuet didn't disappoint! Her second
freshening was March 2009 where she again had triplets and gained the
capacity shown above. She continued to have a beautiful udder with
excellent attachments, teats and shape. She could use a better medial
ligament, but other than that she's wonderful! Minuet's main flaw for me
was her feet and legs. She was not as strait as I prefer my does to be.
She was uphill and much sharper shouldered as a yearling than the body
picture above depicted. She really changed her look from a pudgy junior
to a refined dairy yearling. Beautiful doe.
