WOW… I am so impressed with this yearling doe. 🥹🤍
There were times I looked at Mia and picked her apart so much that I genuinely thought about selling her. But over and over again, other breeders told me the same thing… give her time. Looking at her now, I am SO thankful I listened and even more thankful I never let her go.
I still remember seeing her for the first time as a tiny 2-week-old doe kid and having this gut feeling that somehow, me and her were meant to be. I had never seen her dam, didn’t really know what she would grow into, and took a chance on her anyway.
Since then, we’ve grown up together in a way. From our first shows and some pretty questionable clipping jobs 😂, to placing 2nd at State Fair of Texas at just 9 months old, later placing 5th out of 39 junior does, to pregnancy when she wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with me… and now, to the doe standing in front of me today.
Mia has become everything I could have wanted and more. She isn’t just my show doe or my showmanship partner anymore. She’s my best friend, my very first registered doe, the doe that started it all for me, and one I truly cannot imagine ever parting with.
She has taught me one of the biggest lessons I could have learned starting my herd: sometimes you just have to give them time. 🤍
I thank God all the time that I found Katie at Living Dreams Nigerians and was given the opportunity to bring Mia home. And now, having a daughter of hers here to carry on her legacy and hopefully build my very own “Mia line” makes everything feel even more full circle. 🥹
There was a time I almost let her go. Now, I can’t imagine my herd without her.
I can’t believe how far my sweet Mia has come… and I have a feeling this is only the beginning. 🤍✨
