While we really enjoy seeing all the pretty color patterns that Nigerians can produce, our primary goal is to selectively breed for improved dairy character, mammary system, correct conformation and sweet disposition.

Mae Flower is a solid chocolate doe with a wonderful personality who loves to play and is always showing off for everyone. She is long, stylish and proportionate with tight shoulders and nice high withers. She has exceptional width in the rear with a beautiful rear leg set. While her rump is long and level from thurl to thurl, it could be more level from hips to pins. Mae's udder is strongly attached with excellent medial and good teat size.

Willow is a favorite around here for her sweet and loving disposition. This elegant, refined dark buckskin doe has the most beautiful skin and ribs of all of our does. Willow's fourth freshening mammary system has the same exceptional high rear and excellent lateral attachment as her first freshening udder. She also has perfectly placed large teats that milk like a dream and a smooth fore udder. Willow has done well in the show ring in highly competitive classes. Many thanks to Judy Ratcliffe for parting with such a lovely doe.

We think Chinaberry has it all. She's a beautiful broken chamoisee with a feminine neck, depth of body, excellent feet and legs and tons of personality. Chinaberry's third freshening udder is outstanding with greater capacity, a well extended fore udder, very nice medial and good overall area of attachment.

Kasha is a beautiful white covered chamoisee with a long body and correct feet and legs. While she has her sire's pretty face, she is looking more and more like her dam every day. As a second freshener, Kasha's udder has gained the capacity we had hoped for and is beautifully blended with a strong medial.

Bridget is one of the first does to catch your eye in the pasture. She is extremely feminine with her long, lean neck and gorgeous head. She is nicely blended with good balance and excellent feet and legs. She freshened with a beautiful mammary system, being high and wide in the rear with good overall attachment.

Shawnee is very much her mother's daughter. She is deep and wide with good substance and balance. We were quite pleased with her second freshening udder, being very smoothly blended and well attached with good teat size and placement.
