My first Homegrown SG Doe

PictureSG Whiteoak-Bend Creampuff
I saw a lot of posts on facebook about the Superior Genetics designations being on the ADGA website.  Just for fun I went to my list of does and found Whiteoak-Bend Creampuff is now SG Whiteoak-Bend Creampuff.  I was not expecting it.  I still do not understand how the PTI2:1 or the PTI1:2 is figured but Creampuff was appraised although her final score was a 79 and she will earn her milk star with the addition of the November test results as she has milked 1380 pounds in 209 days per the October 17 milk test.

However it is figured, I am still proud of Creampuff.  Show results are not a part of the Superior Genetics Program but Creampuff earned her dry leg by winning Best Junior Doe in Show at the Brazos Valley Fair in 2012.  She won her class several times in 2013 as a yearling milker so we hope she can be more competitive as a second freshener in 2014.

Plus she is one of the best behaved does in my herd.  Beautiful milk stand manners with a really laid back personality. She had a single doe last year so we shall see how her daughter fares as a milker when she freshens in March.

First Fresheners to Be

These juniors are due to kid in the latter part of January.  I am getting excited as several of them have started developing little udders. I got my calendar out and counted who is kidding and when.  I am freshening 29 does and 13 of those will be first fresheners.  I am holding over 14 2013 doelings as I could not face milk test with that many does in milk.

  Plus I have moved seven to a separate pen as I think they are just small for their age. Course two of them should be small since they were born in June and July but they are almost as large as the March and February kids.  The other five are not my breeding and I guess moving them set them back.

 I will have one due in December, eight due in January, four in February, ten in March, six in April,  and none so far in May but that could change if any of my AI'ed does come back into heat.  Hope everyone's kidding season is easy and we all get does although two doe years in a row will kill me.
