Nigerian Does

Because I need to keep the herd size small (IRL I'm a teacher), exceptional does are occasionally offered for sale. I try to have no more than 1-3 does from each generation.

EXTENDED PEDIGREE
I keep thinking about retiring Clover, but so far she is conceiving and kidding easily. With each decision I have to balance the pluses and minuses. If Clover convinces me that she really wants to give it another go next year and continues to be in great condition, I'll probably breed her. It's on wait and see basis now.

​
Holy mother of all blessings, Batman! I never once imagined that Clover would be able to join the Owlhaven herd, and then BOOM! It happened.


To give you a bit of background, earlier this year someone asked me, if you could have any buck in the world, who would it be? My immediate response was "Cleveland Sage." I've loved that buck since I first met him years ago, before he had proved himself through his daughters. Of course, the last thing I need is another buck, given my large herd of exceptional males. Fast forward to 2017, and I am welcoming Cleveland Sage's full sister to my herd. Welcome, Clover, to your forever home!
 
Here is her breeder's description of Clover: "
Clover is long bodied, and dairy, with elegance, femininity, good brisket extension and angularity. Her udder is well attached with an exceptional amount of foreudder extension, a good MSL and teats that are large, plumb, and easy to milk." ~ Sarah Hawkins, Castle Rock Farm.

Planned Pedigree
Whiskey's genetics need no introduction. Her dam, Lucille Two, was an exceptional show doe. Whiskey is even more striking in appearance, scoring 91 EEEE from one of ADGA's toughest appraisers. Besides having an Excellent mammary system, she is excellent in shoulder assembly, legs, and back. She is very good in all other structural categories, including her rump, which is very wide and level! Whiskey is 21..5" tall at 6 years old.

Inbreeding coefficient: 20%, 10 Generations
​
I RARELY do this close an inbreeding. My normal cutoff is 12-15% in ten generations. However, with Panache heading to Castle Rock farm in the future, I wanted some replacements and I wanted consistency. Barbarella's (I felt that she was worthy of a warrior name, but she's also a goat, so it couldn't be TOO serious.) pedigree boasts two lines to SG Algedi Farm MB Manuka Honey ++*B and two lines to SGCH CRF Castle Rock Alum Root 1*M, the dam of Cleveland Sage. Her grandsire is a full sibling to CH Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset, 2019 National Champion and National Best Udder AND a son of the great performance sire, SG Castle Rock Cleveland Sage ++*B ELITE. Her paternal granddam, Jasmine, is a daughter of one of the greatest does to come from Algedi farm, GCH Algedi Farm RB Ocean Flower 6*M.

On the dam's side, Manuka Honey requires no introduction. Milkweed, an exceptionally promising yearling, was killed by an LGD (yes, it happens sometimes). Milkweed was sired by Dill's BF Diamond Rio +*B, a son of the Reserve National Champion SGCH Dill's XM Keena 4*M. Milkweed's dam was CRF Castle Rock Coral Bells 2*M, a maternal sibling to Cleveland Sage and one of Owlhaven's foundation does. I'm very selective about the doe lines that are on the farm, and at this time have only three lines that are at or above 3 generations Owlhaven breeding. Cora's line is at the 4th generation as of 2021 (with the addition of Barbarella). In the small world of Owlhaven Farm, this is a huge deal because when I am dissatisfied in some way (or really need cash, like for the kidding barn), entire doe lines get sold. Only the  very best remain at the farm. This is following very wise advice given by Eric Jermain (I am forever in his debt for his guidance). 

Finally, a note about Buddleia. Buddleia has consistently been the star at linear appraisal time. In what has become an outstanding, albeit small, herd, she has always risen to the top when evaluated (under different appraisers). In 2021, her udder demonstrated it's full potential, and it's worthy of grand championships!

Reading Performance Pedigrees

Annie's name is a good place to start when it comes to understanding all the code associated with the American Dairy Goat Association performance programs. 
  • Her name is SG Proctor Hill Farm Pistol Annie 2*M 5-02 EX90 (EEEV).
  • SG stands for Superior Genetics, a designation that Annie earned based on her linear appraisal scores (quality of conformation compared to an ideal goat) and milk test results (how much milk and percent of butterfat).
  • Her dam is SGCH, which means she is a finished champion and superior genetics.
  • Proctor Hill Farm is the name of the farm that bred her.
  • 2*M means that she is the second generation on her maternal side to earn a milk star.
  • 5-02 is her age at the time of linear appraisal. She was five years and two months old.
  • EX90 means that she is excellent with a final score of 90. Only one Nigerian has received the highest score of 93.
  • EEEV is the abbreviation for her scores in the four major categories evaluated in linear appraisal. It means that she scored excellent in general appearance (category 1), dairy strength (category 2), and body capacity (category 3), and very good in mammary system (category 4).
​
ELITE is a designation awarded on the basis of a complex genetic calculation that focuses on milk production. Sires and dams that receive the Elite Buck or Elite Doe designation is considered to be in the top 5% of the nation genetically with regard to milk production. 

Understanding Linear Appraisal Scores

  • EX or E = Excellent = 90 and above, 91 and above are relatively rare in the breed. 93 has been awarded to only one goat in the history of the breed.
  • VG or V = Very Good = 85 to 89
  • GP or + = Good Plus = 80 to 84
  • A = Acceptable = 70 to 79
  • F = Fair = 60 to 69
  • P = Poor = 59 and below
Goats are considered mature at five years of age and receive their final linear appraisal scores at that time. Younger goats typically receive lower scores because their bodies are immature compared to the ADGA "ideal" goat. In human terms, imagine comparing an awkward 13 year old with a perfect "10" supermodel like Gisele Bündchen.
