Ruby was the first doe born at Bramblestone Farm that we retained (she has since moved to help start a new herd in Idaho). Her dam has very good conformation (she scored an 89 in Linear Appraisal as a 3rd freshener), and it looks like Ruby is another version of her (her sire is also outstanding (the 2011 AGS National Reserve Grand Champion)). Here is her photo this year after moving to Rakkasan Ranch in Idaho (courtesy of Rakkasan Ranch):
The photographs below (unfortunately she’s not summer trimmed) show the side and rear view of Ruby’s 2nd freshening udder, which certainly capacious for a second freshener.
In her second Linear Appraisal as an adult, she scored an 87 – very respectable for a second freshener. She’s a granddaughter of the incredible doe Wedding Song, and is just such a correct and pretty doe!
With such great conformation, and a pedigree full of outstanding goats for both show and milk production, we’ve retained one of Ruby’s daughters (Amethyst), and I’m really looking forward to seeing her mature.
The photo below is of her at about six months, already showing great form!
