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.

Buttin'Heads Anatawa

Ana is a little doe with a big heritage. Besides being linebreed to the great doe GCH Buttin'Heads Paperclip 2*M (2012 ADGA National Champion Doe and Best Udder), she is also a daughter of GCH Buttin'Heads Japanese Washi 3*M (2017 ADGA National Show: 1st/1st Udder 5-6 year old, Reserve Best Udder, member of 1st place Best 3 Seniors and 1st place Dam & Daughter; 2016 ADGA Nat'l Show 2nd/2nd Udder 4 Year Olds, also member of 2nd place Dairy Herd, 2nd place Best 3 Senior does and 4th place Dam & Daugher with dam Paperclip). Ana is also a maternal sibling to GCH Buttin'Heads Ornamental Koi 4*M, 2017 ADGA Nat'l Show 2nd/2nd udder 2 year old, member of 1st place Best 3 Seniors and 1st place Dam & Daughter.
Ana's milk really came in as a two-year old. She is a very productive doe who throws kids with her levelness and length of body. Crossed on Dill's genetics she has produced does with exceptional mammary systems. |

I'm not sure why Ana didn't receive her milk star that day. I suspect it was a paperwork error on my part. Boo.

Here's one of the reasons why I disagree with this score. Sunny received a "V" in shoulder assembly as a yearling under a highly experienced and respected appraiser, who also happens to be very tough. The next year, as a two year old she received an "A" in shoulder assembly under a less experienced appraiser. I seriously doubt that her SA deteriorated that much in one year. In addition, the 2019 appraiser marked everyone's shoulder assembly and front legs down one level (which negatively affects general appearance scores). I can accept that. All appraisers have their areas of emphasis, where they score more rigorously than other appraisers, but dropping two levels makes me question the accuracy of the evaluation. I accept the + for mammary, Sunny had one kid in 2019 and her capacity reflected that. |

I'm kicking myself over this milk test. I mishandled the milk which resulted in inaccurate butterfat scores. Next time I'll get it right and get my girl her star!

An Alum Root granddaughter! This is special because Alum Root is the dam of some exceptional animals, including Castle Rock Cleveland Sage, 3x ELITE Buck, sire of numerous finished champions, and sire of numerous does who have received excellent scores in Linear Appraisal. She is also the dam of our own SGCH Castle Rock Owl's Clover EX90 and the granddam of Owlhaven MH Buddleia, a doe with exceptional general appearance and correctness. She is also special because after this kidding I am retiring Coral Bells. She's been exceptionally productive for me and has earned a long, healthy, and happy retirement.
2019 Junior Does
These does are scheduled for breeding for 2021 kids, as two-year old first fresheners.

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.

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.
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.
- 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.
