WHAT A DAY! We had an incredible time at the largest Roseburg Dairy Goat Show in memory—75 Senior Nigerian Dwarf Does! ‼️
Every single Twin Pears doe did me proud racking up: 2xGCH, 2xBOB, 3xBUOB, 1xRGH, 8xFirst Place Udder 🏵🏵🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇😱 WOW. WOW. WOW.
Our STAND OUT STARS for the day were:
GCH (pending) Twin Pears MB Hello Dolly 2*M: Taking Grand Champion, Best of Breed, and Best Udder of Breed under April Hitch and Rebeka Rupchis, finishing her Permanent Championship! 🥳🙌
As a five year old, fifth freshener, Dolly speaks true to genetics that only get BETTER with time, not flash in the pan. Every judge praised her for her long dairy bone pattern, depth of body and rear udder height and width. Finishing Dolly was my “A” Goal for 2026 and I’m a little sad I don’t need to show her anymore! I forgot I probably need a “B” goal. 😅 I love working with Dolly. I’m grateful to have three daughters from her in my barn to carry on her legacy in the show ring!
My SECOND STANDOUT was Oregon Trail Huckleberry, yearling FF! Some of you may recall from previous posts that Huckleberry came back to me as a sales agreement of her dam, Twin Pears M Blkberry VEEE89, so while she’s not in my herd name, she is Twin Pears through and through. And what a doe! This yearling really gets the crowd talking wherever she goes—width, depth, exceptional mammary, dairy type—she’s honestly hard to take your eyes off of. So much so, that we kept a buckling from her, Twin Pears Obsidian Blackberry, who you will see on our breeding schedule.
I will mention again that the through line in these girls is Twin Pears CT MoonBean *B (Buttin’Heads Containerized +*B EEE91 x SG Sugar Moon V Java Pepper 5*M VEEE88 ELITE), sire and grandsire to both of these does. I was extremely fortunate to bring Bean back into the fold late last year and he had a fantastic collection, so straws are available (he is also paired with a few does for 2027 kids).
We had some really excellent placings for our other younger does as well, but I’ll save their posts for a later date.
Thank you to Alex, Duva and everyone at the RDGA for pulling together a fabulous, well run show!
