We had long admired the beautiful Miller
daughters that Karen & Kathryn Lewis bred. These does impressed us as youngsters - with level strong backs,
good sound feet and legs, and escutcheons to “die” for! When they freshened we were not disappointed - and those
escutcheons produced udders that are about as nearly ideal in rear udder
attachment, medial support & placement of teats as one can find on
any Nubian doe we’ve seen. When
we were offered the chance to purchase a group of these does, we jumped
on it. Kiona’s
accomplishments are made even more impressive when one realizes that she
just joined our herd the week before we left to drive across the country
to the National Show in Harrisburg - and placed 4th in her
class! She finished her GCH
and earned BIS honors in 2004. In 2005, she was 3rd place/3rd udder 4
year old at the Nationals. She
followed up with 1st Udder & Best Nubian Udder at both
the CA State Fair and Sonoma County Fair. In 2006 she was 4th place 5
& 6 year old at the ADGA National Show, and part of the 1st pl. Sr.
Get of Sire for Miller.
Her son is one of our Sr. Herdsires, *B
Kastdemur’s King of the Hill is sired A.I. by our own ++*B Brown
Sugar’s Crown Ambassador. King daughters are turning out beautifully,
one of which (Misha) stood 1st pl. 2 yr. old/1st udder at the 2008 ADGA National Show.
Her daughter GCH Kastdemur's Laguna Beach has matured into a lovely,
structurally sound & correct doe with a beautiful udder appraising EX91
just this past fall.
Unfortunately, Kiona has had issues with settling
pregnancy the past couple of years, but it sure looks like this year we
are going to have success once again. Bred to Audacious Kiona
should produce strong, correct offspring that have increased dairy
character and productivity...if everything goes like we plan!
