I was
able to purchase this doe as a yearling from Twin Creeks because
her feet and legs did not meet Kellye's standards for a show goat.
She was advertised as a potential outstanding brood doe, and that
she definitely is. She has faults, notably the smallest, hardest
to milk teats I have ever encountered, a fault she does not seem
to pass on, but despite that I personally believe that she herself
is a beautiful doe in many ways. However, it is in the role of
a doe who produces truly outstanding offspring that outshine their
dam that she is a gem beyond price. The value of a great brood
doe is not always recognized, and that proved true in this case.
After she gave me a total of three daughters, one as a kid back,
I felt Summer had done all she needed to do here (and I did not
yet have a milking machine!), and so I sold her to a wonderful
home. Her oldest daughter is our homebred finished champion, Dierdre,
and her next oldest daughter, Electra,
may be the best doe I have yet bred. I feel extremely lucky to
have been able to buy her back when her new home herd was dispersed.
She is sweet, beautiful and a wonderful mother, and she will never
leave here again. Welcome back, Summer!
