I shouldn't play favorites, but with Leilani I just can't help it. Not only is she a fantastic milker but she has a great personality and is often my shadow around the barn. 

Multiple top ten milkers in Leilani's pedigree! She milks like a dream with nice size stretchy teats, open orifices, great attachments, butter soft udder texture and great capacity for her tiny size. We joke that she is our mini jersey cow, peaking at over 4.5lbs a day on a non performance diet of free choice grass hay, Chaffhaye twice a day and one cup of oats once a day. She is our hardest doe to dry off, with a wonderful will to milk. Add to that she is an angel on the milk stand, always eager to be milked and patiently calm.

Leilani's kids always ended up being my favorites, so over the years I gave in and selected our doe herd down to focus on her line. They are the whole package - quality genetics, easy to milk, hardy and super personalities. Leilani is now a happily retired GG Grandmother who, despite her age, is usually the instigator getting all the youngsters riled up to play with her.

I really love this doe, as soon as she hit the ground sopping wet as a kid, I took one look at her and said "Yep, you are staying!" Moana is long bodied, very dairy with a nice brisket and front end. She freshened with a beautiful udder that is an absolute JOY to hand milk! Seriously, my favorite ever doe to milk. Add to that her wonderful hardiness and easy to maintain hooves and she is darn near my perfect goat. Updated photos coming after she kids. Moana will be on DHIA milk test for 2020.

Night Heron Farm Koa
For Sale - $200
Barn Name: "Koa"
POLLED

DOB: March 24th, 2019

Sire: Almar Acres Black Sage *B
SS: Almar Acres Takoda *B
SD: SGCH Castle Rock Angelika 3*M VVEE 91

Dam: Night Heron Farm WH Namaka 6*M
DS: Sans Gene K The Wild Harp *B
DD: Blythmoor BL Leilani 5*M AR VEVE 90

Height: Young and still growing.
Personality: Lap goat friendly and precocious.

Koa will be available for sale, without papers, in April. Because we are continually working to improve the parasite resistance in our future generations I have decided not to use her in our breeding program and frankly, if I wouldn't use her in our own program, I am not going to sell her to someone else's. She is a super sweet girl, but her full sisters do a much better job of holding their mineral reserves and have shown excellent parasite resistance. Given that those are traits we are looking to perpetuate and continually improve the hardiness of the breed, Koa is available to be paired up with another goat or one of this year's kids (after it is weaned) to enjoy life as a pampered pet.
