When Melanie Ferguson posted about their herd reduction, we just couldn't resist adding this lovely experimental doe to our herd. Samoa is the daughter of the lovely Thin Mint who was the 2012 National Experimental Junior Champion and she is sired by a young buck out of the lovely Robin doe. (Robin is the dam of our lovely Sparrow doe).

Samoa really excels in general appearance...she is tall and sharp over the withers, smoothly blended in her shoulders and stands on very correct feet and legs....but her strongest attribute is her lovely mammary. She has a very high, wide rear udder, beautiful escutcheon arch and a long, smooth fore udder. Samoa didn't handle the trip from the west coast as well as we would have liked so had some weight to regain upon arrival. Luckily she loved our grain and never missed a meal but I'd still like to see her carrying a bit more weight but she is one of the top milk does in the herd...peaking at 18# right after she arrived.

Samoa is bred to Clarence for February kids. Price $600. 1st doe will be retained.
