Petite Drama

The moment she was born I knew she was my keeper baby. As her name suggests, her birth and first few weeks were…well…rather dramatic. Drama was a bottle baby after being too weak at birth to stand. She slept with me on the sofa the first night of her life. Despite her rough start, she has blossomed into a striking and very promising doe! We chose an outcross this year to breed her to in hopes of strengthening front ends of her offspring. *B Kastdemur’s Bonaire has beautiful flat bone-structure, nice spring of rib and the strength in brisket I am looking for from this cross. Ashley over at E.B. Farm Goats was so wonderful to let us use Bonaire. She has an incredible breeding program and I am thankful for her friendship! Drama placed second and third in her class her first (and only so-far) time in the show ring. We so love this girl!!

Wednesday

Due to the size of our homestead, our LaMancha breeding program is destined to remain small with a limit of four does maximum. That said, it was extremely important to me to choose the best genetics I could to help reach the big goals I set forth when I brought my first girl home. When Gillispie’s J Camilla was born, long-legged and camel-tan, I absolutely fell in love with her. Her dam, Aspen-Hill’s JT Cindy Crawford 1*M VG86 (notable black beauty mark right above her lip), was always favorite of mine. When Val at Gillispie’s County Line Farm offered Camilla aka “Wednesday” to me as a beautifully freshened adult, I could not possibly say no. And that’s how it started. This breed is SO joyful and goofy! She makes me laugh daily and she is a true joy to milk.

When it came time to select a buck, I knew exactly what I was looking for, but wasn’t quite sure where to find it. Luckily, when we had Primo collected, I found the perfect herd-sire. Lucky*Star’s RJ Legend is an Epic son (like Wednesday’s sire) and is sired by the son of the 2021 NATIONAL CHAMPION!

We had Wednesday laparoscopic AI’d and were blessed with two absolutely striking girls. Purple Ribbon’s Petite Drama was my keeper kid and she in maturing into a beautiful doe.

Wednesday earned her milk star in 2022 and will be Laparoscopic AI’d again but this time to SG +*B Lucky*Stars ME Henning EEE 91 (ELITE) courtesy of E.B. Farm Goats for 2023 kids!
