I needed a better photo to capture this stunning, well balanced and put together girl!

🌿Desert Bounty California Poppy4*M
(Milked out in this photo)

Poppy here received her first ribbon at her third show as a 9 year old aged doe that was shown in the 5 & older class at the Southwest Dairy goat Association in New Mexico. Poppy entered the show world late in her years (just started last year) but in the 6 rings she’s entered she’s been 1st everytime. Always commended for her udder high and well attached mammary, correct front legs and overall general appearance.

Poppy’s 2023 doeling went Grand Champion Junior doe & her niece went Grand Champion Senior Milker at the New Mexico State Fair.
Poppy still has reservations open for her last breeding before retirement, the buck she’s currently paired with will be changed to Urban Acres CRF-SG Sunseeker (Son to the 2023 Reserve National Champion).

Spent the last 72 hours chasing that show bug!! Twenty hours total spent on the road & the remaining 52 hours in the goat barn (with a few hours of sleep). This is the furthest our herd has ventured and I’m so grateful for how well our senior does handled the travel and still managed to have a gorgeous show udder. Nearing the ending our lactation season I wasn’t sure how the girls would handle it all but they didn’t disappoint.

🫶🏼First off thank you to the Southwest Dairy goat Association, you welcomed us in with warm and friendly smiles. You’re hospitality was amazing, and the show was well put together!! I look forward to seeing everyone again.

Honorable mention to my MOTHER!! April Taylor, thank you for being my road trip buddie on this crazy goat showing adventure & for not judging me when I sang Disney songs at 2am while driving🤣FYI I sing horribly🙉 Final thank you for showing goats for the first time at a show and absolutely crushing it, better be careful you might have just permanently signed up.

It was a back BREAKING day!!😓🫠 Got four juniors & five senior milkers clipped in the middle of a pop up thunderstorm⛈️ Thank goodness for this closed in milk parlor that turned into a hair salon for a few hours. The girls hated every bit of the rain coming down but we got the job done. Still a few more to clipped but that’s for another day, since neither Megan or I can bend over any longer!!

Thank you Megan Hardt for spending your Saturday helping me get these girls looking their best!!

Thank you hurricane Hilary for making me humble. I’ll never take the AC milk parlor or the milk machine for granted again. I’m glad I only have six does in milk and towards the end of their lactation. The eucalyptus branch provided free firewood, and missed my house and vehicles by a few feet.

Dear Small Breeder…. I see you!
I see you pouring your heart and soul into those does praying for a positive pregnancy check.
I see you, missing family gatherings because does needs milking. Or one is about to kid.
I see you, sleepless nights hoping nothing goes wrong at kidding time.
I see you, crying because you lost a kid, doe or both.
I see you standing over that prize kid, that just broke its leg.
I see you, struggling, trying to decide whether you should do milk testing , Linear Appraisal, show...or all 3. Because they are all so expensive, but all are beneficial.
I see you, as you are saying goodbye to the old doe or buck that started it all… wondering if you should keep going.
I see you, struggling on which doe to breed to which buck to hopefully make your next super star!
I see you, smiling because it all went right this time!
I see you, smiling because someone called to tell you how much they love that doe you raised. And it is their heart goat!
Keeping going small breeder! Because without you, there would be a lot of people missing out on that once in a life time goat.

📣🔥Well I’d like to finally formally announce🔥📣
…..because I kinda completely forgot.

Creosote Ranch FT PlayinHookey
(CH Creosote Ranch P Calamity Jane X Lil Miss B Haven Freight Train)

We were granted the opportunity to purchase Player just shortly after he was born and boy am I glad we did!! His dam, Calamity Jane finished her permanent championship early this year. Finishing as a two year old second freshener, Jane was a force to be reckoned with!! Sadly she did pass away just a few short months ago, however her genetics will continue forward through her offspring!! His sire needs no introduction, as he’s already making a claim in the show ring. Lil Miss B Haven Freight Train, at only a year old has two Grand Champion wins under his belt, three Reserve Champions, and Best in Show!! He’s the grandson to the 2021 ADGA National Champion CH Wood Bridge Farm 22K Gold.

Looking forward to adding excellent lateral attachments, smooth foreudders, and outstanding general appearance. Checkout my breeding plans to get a 2024 kid sired by him.

2023 Breeding plans are live, reservations are free. Preference’s are given to active performance herds.

The dairy community is exactly that!! We lift eachother up when hard times happen on the farm, cheer for one another in the ring and celebrate the individual victories together.

I come from a market livestock background and it saddens me to say that lifting others up in their wins was something not done often.

Looking at this doe and knowing she’s in my herd is still so real to me. I knew when I purchased Trouble as a yearling from Desert Bounty Farm that this doe was bred to MILK, her production as a FF was insane which ultimately lead me to start milk testing. I knew this doe was to good to waste and wanted to get her numbers in the system so the ND world could see her. For the past almost three years weight has been the biggest struggle for Trouble, producing 1,200lb+ of milk within a lactation was draining any weight I could get on her. Finally just last year I felt I had a handle on her weight and knew how to manage it properly, these photos are all the evidence I need show that hard work.

•The last picture I’ve included to show Trouble as a yearling FF, she certainly hadn’t grown into herself yet.

Thank you Michelle Hays with Bella Luna Goat Farm for those outstanding pictures! Literally all the ones you’ve sent are stunning, I can’t thank you enough for spending your weekend photographing all us breeders in the show ring.♥️

Now that the dust has settled from yesterdays adventure and the morning chores have been accomplished I’d love to share how our 2023 Linear Appraisal went.

First and foremost a huge thank you to Marie Orillion at Owlhaven Farm Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats for opening her home up each year for my herd, and allowing us to use you as our host! We so enjoy the stories shared and laughs throughout the day.

Another thank you to Carrie Cochrane at Desert Bounty Farm for setting me up with some of the best foundation does. I’ve been fortunate enough to call Carrie a dear friend over the years, thank you for putting the time in to help mentor me so that I can ensure the does within my herd rise to their full potential.

Unfortunately we took no pictures yesterday during our linear appraisal but the weather was amazing in Southern California. We only traveled with three does (in the back of my hatchback🤣)

I absolutely love this doe and still thank her breeder Carrie at Desert Bounty Farm every chance I get. Trouble‘s FF year she was all dairy strength and no body depth, but over the years with each lactation she’s consistently gotten better. On her first milk test for this year she milked out 6.2lbs at 41 days in milk, and has a lifetime total of 2,575lbs for a total of 625 DIM. Here’s to another year aging like fine wine🍷

Another year of NEGATIVE results with WADDL. I had no doubt that my does & bucks would come back clean but yet I still hold my breathe everytime.

There’s a strong importance to be seeking herds that test annually and have years of results showing they’ve been clean from diseases. Please ensure when you’re buying adults or kids from a breeder to ask for their biosecurity results done on their herd❤️

There always seems to be ONE junior doeling that just has ”that voice”🫠👏🏻😅 Mini May (Maples doeling) seems to think show training is really me trying to kill her. Notice everyone else has fallen in line to waiting their turn patiently👏🏻☺️

We’re almost done with our 2023 kidding season!! I can’t believe it went that fast, faster if the last two does due would give up their hostages already. I’m really pleased with the kids produced this season, my FF’s and my seasoned pro milkers as everyone’s fallen into the routine with ease.

We did it!! 26 Cornish Cross chickens butchered in roughly 3 hours!
HUGE thanks to my husband Josh, our friend Amberly with DesertHardt Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, her husband Ryan, her mom April, and my father Harold!
We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help!

Our first foray into the goat show world was this weekend at the “4 the Love of Goats” show at Rancho De Lagos in Temecula, CA. I’ve never seen so many beautiful goats in one place! Our little doe Curbstone Valley H Paper Moon placed very well earning a 2nd(Dan Laney/Combo), 4th(Mark Baden/Dry Yearling) and 8th(Dan Laney/Dry Yearling) out of roughly 20 does. It was a “bucket list” item to do with my daughter before she leaves in the fall and we couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather, a more beautiful venue or a better time with wonderful friends!

And thank you DesertHardt Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats for transporting her home!
I would like to say, I am not completely new to goats, but have always wanted to have a bottle baby. That being said, I have to say Wyatt has been an absolute blessing and joy...anybody who is looking for amazing temperament, gorgeous babies DesertHardt Nigerian has the best. Amberly is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and produces incredible quality goats. She answered all my nervous new mom questions. We had a bit of a scare with baby Wyatt, I was able to reach out for help and she knew exactly what to do and walked me through everything. I can't thank her enough for her compassion and patience. She checked in and made sure we were OK. I highly recommend anyone looking for a new addition to their herd contact Amberly. She loves her babies and it shows through. Knowledge, kindness and quality. Thank you for a dream come true!
