The Mother Superior

This is EDSR CPF Cherry, who has become the Mother Superior of our breeding herd. She has earned the nickname, 'The Witch' cause she's so cranky with the other nannies , but she's a sure enough good one. She had twin paint nannies on her when we bought her down by Branson, MO in 2004. She was bred to Sonora Redneck and in May of 2005 she had Uphoff's Ernie a dark red billy and Uphoff's Elyce a red and white paint nanny. Ernie went to Mike and Chris Stork at Arlington, NE. We still have Elyce and in 2007 she had Uphoff's Gomer and Uphoff's Goober by Fudge which made them double bred Rednecks, both nice dark red colored. In 2006 Cherry had Uphoff's Farmall, a dark red billy that we sold to Mike Fey at Groton, SD,  and a red and white paint nanny that we sold to Marty Hannaford at Brownsville, NE. In 2007 she had Uphoff's Gilbert and Uphoff's Gilmore. Gilbert went to Larry & Bruce Peterson of Imperial, NE at the 4S Goat Expo Sale and Gilmore went to Leah ten Bensel, at Cambridge, NE. In this picture she is bred to Redneck again for March 2008 kids. She had Hercules, Heathcliff and Hector. We sold Hector to Scottie & Patti Krautschun of Broadwater, NE.  Hercules and Heathcliff are in the CSU Buck test at Ft Collins, CO.  Witch was born November 25, 1999 so she's kind of a senior citizen but she's sure enough got a home for the rest of her life.

Texas Bonnie

Texas Bonnie is a FB redheaded daughter of Jet Black's Lignite of Troy & Mary Powell's Little League Ranch, born 2/26/02 who also has a crow black mother. Dam of Uphoff's Dale which we sold to Jean Adams of Lincoln, NE in the 04 4S Goat Expo Sale.  We are keeping her dark red & white paint nanny to add to our herd.

Little Red

This is "Little Red" a daughter of Red sired by Andy the first percentage Boer buck we owned. Andy was a black & white 1/2 Boer and 1/2 Lamancha . Little Red is following close behind her mother in producing quality commercial and percentage kids. She's getting a little long in the tooth but she still consistently produces twins and triplets and raises them without problems. She gets to stay in the barn where it's warmer in cold weather and gets a little extra feed year around but she's worth the extra bother. Her ear tag is #1 making her born in 1999.
