Poly kicked off kidding season 2/2/23 with twin bucklings!
The boys are healthy and vigorous, and incredibly cute and Poly is being a great mama. They are both variations on black and tan, with white on their polls. One is very light cream on his legs and looks to have a moonspot on his shoulder. The other is a darker tan and has quite a bit of roaning. Both boys have brown eyes are have been disbudded.

Millie kidded on March 19 with healthy beautiful BDD triplets!!
We tragically lost Millie only a week after she kidded, due to a perforated ulcer, most likely caused by an underlying kidney issue that acidified her rumen. She was an excellent mama and loved her babies until the end. Her udder was looking much improved this year, and we miss her immensely! She was a dream to milk with nice large teats and open orifices. She milked all the way out effortlessly. Her triplets are being bottle raised and are thriving. All three are polled, and the buckling is wildly spotted.

Baby kidded June 1 with a single wildly spotty buckling!
We had not intended to retain any kids from Baby, and in fact had planned to sell her in milk this summer. However, Baby is looking great as a first freshener, and has really surprised us. She has widened out and her udder is looking fabulous. She seems to be a very good producer and will be on milk test this year. After having a couple of friends look at her buckling and confirm what we thought, we are tentatively planning to retain him to use in our program. Swayze is long, wide, and so very handsome!
R11 - Cherrywell’s Patrick Swayze. F4 buckling. Dark buckskin with extensive moonspots, roaning, white on poll.
RETAINED.
Lily kidded on June 10 with healthy twin doelings!
Lily was due to kid on the same day we had planned to haul four of our show string down to Roseburg to compete in one of very few sanctioned shows for miniature breeds. We had been keeping a super close eye on her, and she didn’t show any signs of kidding when we headed out late Friday evening. We obsessively checked our barn cams throughout the day on Saturday and she seemed like she was going to hold out for us. However, at the end of the day after we had headed home, we realized that we hadn’t checked her cam in a while. When I pulled up the live feed I saw TWO kids lying in the stall and Lily munching on some hay!! We called and had a family member run out to check on them and the little family was doing well. Both doelings have amazing long Nubian ears and both have their dad’s blue eyes. Despite being confused initially, Lily is being a great mom and is keeping up with feeding the twins easily as a yearling first freshener.

Lucy kidded on June 13 with a single blue-eyed buckling!
Lucy kidded with basically no assistance from us and is being an excellent and very protective mother. Her buckling is adorable, and has his daddy’s blue eyes. Lucy is looking great and producing a lot of milk. We will have her on test later this summer. Because Lucy is a first freshener, her buckling will be available as a pet wether this year. He is adorable and friendly!
