When I first got the Saanens, I wasn't expecting to fall in love with them quite as hard as I did! They are really amazing animals. Stormy was a last minute add-on so that Pixie didn't have to ship by herself. I couldn't be happier with my decision to bring this wacko, crazy, but absolutely stunning girl home. I love a goat with a personality, and Stormy might have the biggest in the herd. It certainly helps that the first two times she entered the ring she was Jr Champion and at the National Peanut Festival brought home a BEST JR DOE IN SHOW win!
​
Stormy freshened with a single and a small but beautiful mammary. I suspected an acute case of mastitis but the culture was clean. She didn't come into much milk and I am hoping 2024 is her year.

Allie is a doe I knew I was going to retain before she was even born. I was looking for something new to just have fun in the ring with, and an experimental seemed perfect! My great friend Kelley of Here Be Goats graciously allowed me to breed my Saanen doe to her fabulous herdsire Vampiro, and 5 short months later my beautiful girl was born! Allie became a quick favorite and I have to say that I really love this cross. She has improved hardiness over her dam, and was such a tall, growthy, healthy junior doe that just needed zero maintinance, which I appreciate in an animal! Allie handily earned her junior leg as a senior kid, and freshened for the first time in Feb 2025 with a BEAUTIFUL mammary system!! It is so HIGH, absolutely glued to her body, with a lovely medial and the most seamless foreudder I've ever had in my herd! I can't wait to get this girl into the ring as a milking doe and I'm so thrilled that she blessed me with a single doe kid sired by another one of Kelley's outstanding herd sires!

What do you do when your only Saanen bred for the year gives you a big wattled single buck? You go out and buy a big wattled DOE to replace him with instead! But in all seriousness, after I saw the pedigree on this kid and watched her dam go Grand Champion AOP at just a week fresh as a yearling, I knew this little girl would be coming home with me!
​
While Nigerians will always be my heart breed, there is something about a Saanen that just takes my breath away. Thrilled to have another great white in my tiny standard “herd”!

"Bobbi" is a doe kid I DREAMT about for months!! Her sire and grandsire are hands-down two of the best LaMancha bucks in the state of Florida, and I am so grateful to Kelley of Here Be Goats for allowing her boys to help build my experimental project! Bobbi's dam freshened better than I could have ever imagined, and with the addition of Bobbi's sire Armani's GCH EX92 dam who is also a National Show class winner, I am GIDDY with anticipation over this girl's future!!

When I realized that somehow my standard doe herd doubled in size in 2025 (from two to four, haha), I needed to find "something good" to breed them to next season. I was open to just about anything breed-wise since I really do enjoy my experimentals, and I was mostly in search of AI sires or local standard bucks to buy breedings to. But one morning when I opened Facebook, at the very top of my newsfeed, there he was. A son of the most decorated Saanen doe in the state of Florida. A doe I have stood next to in more BIS lineups than I can count, a doe who has won most of them too. A doe who I have admired for her productivity, hardiness, remarkable general appearance, body capacity, mammary system, and dairy STRENGTH. Truly a marvel, and MANY judges agree, seeing as in the last 2 years she has racked up countless BOB awards and 11 BEST DOE IN SHOW WINS! Florida is a hard place for Saanens to thrive, there's no secret about it. Its hot, humid, riddled with parasites. It takes a really special Saanen to maintain the production and body condition needed to be elitely competetive in the FL show ring. But Brigitta makes it look easy. Not to mention the fact that she is the paternal sister to the 2021 ADGA National Best Udder Saanen, and sired by 2x ADGA National Premier sire, GCH Noble-Springs Moscow Mule +*B!

So it was an easy choice to welcome "Rodger", dubbed after the writer of the song he is named after, to our herd. Having a buck on the property is certainly easier than my previous plan to get the does bred, and I feel like I've struck gold with this guy!
