SGCH Reuel Mei Tu's JJ Miriam 2*M 3/18/02

Miriam is a long doe with a very nicely attached and shaped udder and correct leg set. She is very smooth and milking nicely. Her udder is EXCEPTIONAL. It is high and tight with a beautiful medial and great capacity. We are delighted with her! She placed 12th at the National show in Spokane . She ranked #3 on the Nubian Top Ten List in 2005 for her 152 pounds of Butterfat. She continues to milk and show well. Miriam is living proof that show does can and do milk too. We are very proud of her and pleased that her appraisal scores reflect her true worth. We expect that she will continue to only improve with age. She had one Best of Breed this show season.

2008 Update: Miriam freshened on May 25 with a doe and a buck. She was enormous before she freshened and we were expecting more than twins from her. She is very slowly milking off some of her extra pounds and all was forgiven when one of her kids was a doe. Miriam has a long way to go before she is down to her proper weight but she is getting better every day and her milk production is slowly climbing.

Chinook is a product of a ½ brother ½ sister breeding. We don’t do these breedings very often but wanted to see how the resulting kid would turn out and we were delightfully surprised. Chinook is a basic brown doe with exceptionally nice breed character. She shows great promise and is growing well. She is quite eye catching even in her plain brown wrapper.

2008 Update: On March 17 Chinook woke us early as she began to labor and she quickly delivered her 2 bucks uneventfully.

Reuel Zizah’s JJ Kai 11*M 3/29/05

Kai freshened last spring with a spectacular udder and we were thrilled at her prospects for the show season. We took her to her first show as a milker and in her first ring she finished dead last. She was so timid that she tried to hide as she was shown. In the second ring relaxed a bit and managed to move up from 11th to third. As the season went on she not only grew in stature and maturity she really began to enjoy the show ring and gained confidence and showed well. Her record was 1X first, 1X second and 2X 3rd. She is a very laid back doe that has the very annoying habit of falling asleep while standing up. We are looking forward to having her freshen for us again this spring. She appraised very well and we expect her to continue to do well.

2008 Update: Kai kidded on April 29 with two bucks and one doe. She did a great job and with a little help got those babies out and she gave us a very nice bucket full of rich colustrum. Kai has come into milk very quickly and on her first test at 3 weeks fresh she milked 12 pounds. We are looking forward to seeing how this doe continues to work and her daughter is growing fast and will be staying here.

Reuel Zina's JJ Zadee 9*M 2/14/05

Zadee's name means princess and she very definitely thinks that she is a princess. Her arrival was eagerly anticipated as she is a full sister to our beautiful Zephyr. She seems to be following in her sister's foot steps as she is long and level and has beautiful breed character. Her udder is nicely shaped and firmly attached with nice teats and she milks well. We are expecting that she will freshen again in the spring with her beautiful udder growing in proportion to her body. She is a powerful and stunning doe that shows great promise.  Zadee was 2X 1st, once 2nd, and once 3rd in the ring last year.

2008 Update: Zadee had a hard time getting her buckling into position and needed help to deliver her 8.5 pound buckling on March 14th. Mom is doing well although she is still a bit sore.

Tapestry arrived amid great joy and great sadness. She was the first of our Expressway daughters and her arrival was much anticipated. She didn’t disappoint us at all.  However, her mother was carrying quads and an additional very large bag of fluid and struggled mightily before surrendering to ketosis. Tapestry was the first kid of the year and spent three weeks as a house goat running around in newborn Pampers. She is a beautiful legacy from her mom. She is very long, level and smooth with great breed character. Tappy was promised to a young man as his 4-H project but as the time approached for her departure the family had second thoughts so she stayed in our herd. We showed her twice and she placed 4th and 1st. She is a very correct doe and we appreciate her style and her playful attitude.

2008 Update: Tappy delivered 2 bucks and a doe for us on April 29. We were delighted to see the doe and have kept her for ourselves. Tappy had no trouble and hasn't looked back since her delivery. She is milking well and maturing nicely.

Reuel Samiel's EXP Sharik 3/14/06

Sharik is a young but promising doe. We are happy at how she is developing. Unfortunately Sharik became ill during the late summer and her milk production dropped drastically so we dried her off. She has certainly grown in the last few months putting on height and depth of body. Her udder is well attached and is very promising. Another freshening should make a huge difference in this nice youngster.

2008 Update: March 15th Sharik got busy and delivered twin bucklings with little fanfare and no assistance. She even waited until we had finished dinner!

Rebecca freshened this May and surprised us by having grown into a nice young doe. She is very quiet and business like and adores any attention she can get. She never makes a fuss but quietly watches for her turn for petting and treats. We love her temperament and personality. She shows great promise and we are looking forward to her second freshening and continued growth.

2008 Update: March 17th we headed in from attending Chinooks Delivery for a cup of coffee before chores, we returned to the barn just in time to see Rebecca silently pop out a nice big, healthy and hungry doeling. The girl weighed in at 8.5 pounds. Mom continues to develop udder capacity and is happily supplying milk for our use.

Reuel Miriam's M Meka 4/03/05

Meka freshened in early June and began to grow like a weed. She is tall and leggy with beautiful breed character and great promise. We are expecting that she will be a good milker with great strength.

2008 Update: Meka did not settle for 2008 and we are hopeful that she will do so this fall. She is maturing very nicely and filling out her frame. We are looking forward to seeing how her udder develops with another freshening.

Raya is another of our very correct Jesse James daughters. We are thrilled to see her growing up. She is very well grown for her age and Freshened with an absolutely beautiful udder. She is long, dairy and very smooth. She is a quietly elegant young doe that enjoys the ring and the attention she receives. She was 3X first and 2X second this year with 3X first udder. We are really looking forward to seeing her mature.

2008 Update:  Raya spent the night in the kidding stall and was so open that we were sure her babies would fall out if she sneezed. She was unconcerned and calm continuing to eat and drink normally. On the morning of the 18th while we were sipping coffee and prior to morning chores, Raya started serious pushing and we dressed and went out to help her. Her first baby was reluctant to emerge and needed assistance but she quickly slid into the world followed quickly by her bigger brother. After getting the kids faces cleaned off I checked the doe and was surprised to fine another kid all lined up and ready to emerge. We were delighted to find another beautiful doe! Mom is developing into the mature doe that we expected her to be. Her udder is beautiful and she is growing in depth of body to go with her extraordinary length. We will donate one of her doe kids to support the ISDGA Show in Idaho.

Reuel Zoe's EXP Viv 1/25/07

Viv appeared along with her sister without trouble. She made quite a splash with her wild coloring and confident attitude. We are delighted with her strength and size and are looking forward to her becoming a productive doe. She is very flashy and quite correct and you never have to worry about a judge not noticing her in the show ring. We took her to three shows this year where she got two firsts and a second. She continues to grow and looks better every day. We are excited about her prospects.

2008 Update: Viv held out for awhile on us and finally delivered a single buck kid on May 12. She was very considerate and waited until we were finished milking before getting serious. He boy weighed in at 7.2 pounds. Viv is looking very nice and has an exceptionally well attached udder. We are expecting great things from her. He first test at just 11 days fresh was 5.2 pounds of 5% butterfat milk. We are looking forward to having this girl appraised June 9.

Reuel Samiel's JJ Sukey  3/14/07

Sukey is a sweet doe who is very easy to be around. She is friendly but not demanding and is very quiet. She was only shown once this year and placed 4th in a class of 8. We are looking forward to seeing her as a yearling milker and expect that she will do very well as both her mother and grandmother have done.

2008 Update:  Sukey was the first of our yearlings to freshen this year and she did so in a very endearing fashion. She quietly and efficiently delivered twin doelings and was properly praised. One was a nice 7.4 pounds and wildly splashed the other a tiny 4.5 pounds and basically brown. Well Tiny was feisty and soon determined that her sister was taking much too much time on the bottle when she was hungry and promptly knocked her over and took over the bottle. She is happily being spoiled by Ben Heino and his sister Reba in CA. Her sister Lucy will remain here as she has the cute factor down pat and has endeared herself to us. Sukey is developing a very nice udder and milked 5.5 pounds on her first test at 16 days fresh.
