Blythmoor Cybele

March 2, 2010
2010 LA: VEcV V -- Very Good
19 1/2" (official)

Cybele is SOLD to Marian Doll of Arkadian Nigerians. She's met the requirements for her milk star.

Sire: Arkadian Aleutian (LA 85)
Dam: Pholia Farm Lollipop (LA85)

I love this doe. She is a very dairy little doe, with nice teat placement.

Cybele had lovely twin buck kids sired by Snapdragon. Cybele, her dam Lollipop, and granddam Harriet are all exceptional milkers and I expect her to blossom in future freshenings.

Blythmoor SA Ziva 3*M
April 10, 2009

SOLD - Ziva is going to Gladdie Acres


2010 LA: ++V+ 83
19 1/4" (Official)

Sire: GCH Mystic Acres Snapdragon +B

Dam: Blythmoors Almond Joy *M

This little doe measured 4 1/2" over the rump as a baby -- at 15 1/2" tall, she was as wide in the hips as some of her bigger herdmates. She has a lovely escutcheon. Ziva is very level on the move.

Despite a very difficult kidding this spring (2011) - the loss of her triplets (in eutero) and a long course of post-kidding antibiotics, Ziva has bounced back and is on track to finish a regular lactation this year..

After all this time, and now that she's sold, I have an updated picture. Sorry that I pulled her head up a little and dipped her topline. She's a beautiful doe and I will miss her. She does NOT have blue eyes, that's just camera reflection.

Sire: Twin Creeks PD MegaBuck
Dam: Sugar Pine Fanciful Illusion

Myst's LA score reflects what a nice doe this is. I would like better teat placement, but she's a good strong doe and one of my favorites. She milks down so easily and her udder texture is lovely. She milks steadily throughout the year.

She is a very dairy doe, very level on the move -- a strong doe that should continue to improve as the years pass.

Blythmoor CW Mulberry 1*M

LA 2009: V V V + 85
2010 ANDDA Bronze JUJU Award Winner

SOLD (Thanks, Toni)

Sire: Camanna ZH PT Cruiser
Dam: Blythmoor Winning Colors

I'd like a stronger topline on this doe, but she is very sound on feet and legs. She has good body capacity and is a refined doe. I would like better rear udder attachment, but her udder milks down easily. Mulberry is milking above average for her size and age and she does maintain a lactation. She has truly blossomed on this third freshening.

I am particularly pleased with her 2008 daughter, Almond Joy. AJ's daughter, Ziva continues a line of very good does.

Sire: GCH AGS Mystic Acres Snapdragon +B

Dam: Sugar Pine MB Myst *M

Ginger was the slower maturer, but has matured nicely. She has a nice escutcheon and has nice structure. I love the length of body that she has, and she is developing more depth of body as she matures. She is for sale but her daughters remain with our herd.

Her butterfat averaged at over 7% and she easily earned her milk star in 2009 as a First Freshener. She is showing nice improvement in her milk as a second freshener.

Dam: AGS Herzinger's Princess Buttercup 1*M

Blossom had quads last year. Her udder is lovely. She is an easy milker, nice teat placement and size, good attachments. I love her butterfat numbers. She qualified for the milk star at 193 days in milk. I would like a little more length in her cannon bone and straighter front legs to balance her out. She had quads again in 2010, including a super little doe that will stay with the herd.

While Blossom has not been a big winner in the show ring, she always ranks high in her classes. At the NWODGA Specialty, judge Ted Brooks gave her third in a large 3 year old class -- and gave her Best Udder in the class.

Blossom's daughter, Cherry Blossom, finished her CH at the Idaho shows April, 2010
Daughter Hua Mulan freshened with a lovely udder in 2011.

Winnie kidded early 2006, and even earlier the next year (Dec. 1, 2007). She is a beautiful young doe that is a master at weasling in with a buck.

She was an easy milker and had teats that you can get a hand on. She had a nice medial and a nicely textured udder that milked down well. At State Fair, 270+ days in milk, she was still milking and managed to place 5th in a class of 12 two year olds and second in Produce of Dam (8 entries).

Winnie was bred to PromisedLand COM WarHawk *S . and kidded with triplet does on March 19, 2008. Unfortunately, she died the following day due to complications. She will be missed.

SOLD

Polly was sold because she insists on nursing her mother. I have watched her closely and housed her with various other does in milk and she does NOT nurse off of anyone else. She was not a bottle baby!

Sire: PromisedLand COM War Hawk *S

Dam: Sugar-Pine MB Myst 1*M

As Polly matures, she continues to be a doe, that could have more dairy character. She appraised well as a dry doe. She a nice strong doe. I would like more body capacity, but she kidded easily.

Polly produced two lovely doe kids on December 1, 2008. I am pleased with her first udder. She has nice front attachments, good sized teats, milks easily and down to a nice soft udder. She's not a heavy producer, but I suspect that, like her mother, she'll improve a great deal in future freshenings. I'm very pleased with her butterfat and protein levels and if she keeps milking steadily she should earn her star.
