Herc's dam has her milk star through both MDGA and TMGR, but since his sire's dam died the year Scout was born we don't have data on her production. Please take a look at his paternal siblings to get an idea of the udders he will throw as well as his dam!

In 2021 Farrah freshened for the first time and averaged between 2.4-2.9 lbs of milk each day. In 2022 Farrah prematurely delivered at 90 days for an unknown reason. Unfortunately her milk never came in as her body just wasn't ready in any way for this delivery.

2022: 1 buck, 1 Doe (P1, P2) 2021: 1 Doe (Halo)Blair is a stunning doe with a great personality! Conformation: Blair has an attractive framework that showcases her femininity. She is slightly taller at withers than at the hips but I do wish she had a more defined brisket. “Back and Rump—strong and straight with well defined vertebrae throughout and slightly uphill to withers; level chine with full crops into a straight, wide loin; wide hips smoothly set and level with back; strong rump which is uniformly wide and nearly level from hips to pinbones and thurl to thurl; thurls set two-thirds of the distance from hips to pinbones; well defined and wide pinbones set slightly lower than the hips; tailhead slightly above and smoothly set between pinbones; tail ymmetrical to body and free from coarseness; vulva should be normal in size and shape in females (normal sheath and testes in males)

2021: 2 bucks 2022: 1 buck, 1 DoeCyndi resides at Studley Farm where she has kidded twice now and is known for the best milk for coffee! At MHMM 2019 show Cyndi's dam (Moxie) won GCH in one ring and RCH in the other as well as Best Udder x1 but because her tattoos were not legible she was not awarded an official leg. Moxie also has earned her *P (MDGA) and *D (TMGR) on one-day testing. Cyndi's sire (Thunder) inherited his *B from his parents and is well on his way to earning his + in future years from his daughters.
Cowboy is such a great attribute to our herd! Originally we really wanted some new lines in the mini world that weren't heavily used already so we purchased Cowboy's dam Rose and his sire Domino. Rose has lovely attachments and texture making her a dream to milk paired with our Nigerian buck who brought excellent milking lines and was a stout, sturdy buck which we felt would make excellent offspring! Cowboy is one of the twins we got from this pairing, and just had to retain. Actually we retained both him and his sister so we could watch and record the results of this pairing. We are really proud of this 50/50 line and are very excited to see where it takes our herd! He has not disappointed us! Cowboy has smooth blending from his long elegant neck into his withers and carries that length throughout his barrel. As he matures, his brisket is getting more defined although my horrible photography and set-up skills don't highlight that very well! His rear angulation is an improvement over his dam (thanks to Domino), which carries down to nice strong pasterns making him a very nice animal overall. As an added bonus, Cowboy is very sweet and loves attention but is not overbearing about it. His first daughter to freshen was "Marvelous" and I encourage you to check her page (listed below), to see what attributes Cowboy is giving to his offspring.

Aki is one of our home-grown boys that we are over-the-moon with. His line is packed with milk, udders that are "socked on" and held tightly to the body, as well as great conformation. This buck also has a personality that is to die for (thanks to his dam Lily)! He has a very nice head-set for an F3 with ears that have length and a nose that is becoming more convex with age. His neck is long and blends smoothly into his withers which are higher than his hips creating that uphill stance that we are all looking for. These hips have a good angle measuring at approx. 30 degrees. Aki really starts to shine when looking at his rear angulation and his beautiful leg set is thanks to his strong pasterns! I would like to improve on the crispness of his brisket but that would be the biggest improvement to this otherwise stunning buck! His littermate, Maggie has a beautiful udder and I encourage you to check it out as it is likely the udders that Aki could potentially throw. Aki's sire Thunder Struck has proven to have highly genetic udder traits so far with 4/5 of his daughters who have freshened having very similar udder traits.

Maggie is a dream come true! Her small stature makes her production even more impressive....
