Starfire Nubians
Purebred Nubian Senior Does
A few years ago we were working on an export and gathering bucks. We picked up twins that had different sires. A buck got loose and DNA proved the sires of each kid. I joked for years that this was going to be my new breeding program. The more I thought about how different those bucks were, the more it made sense to me. It's like using IVF without all the expense. A buck gives you kids from many different does. Does are a much slower process being stuck using one buck a year. Using more than one buck speeds up the diversity and pinpoints the better crosses. I've tried it several times and love the results so I've embraced this new Double Dipping breeding program! Many of the does will be bred to two or more sires. All kids will be DNA typed to determine sires.

Tilly was Grand Champion and Best Doe in Show at her first show as a kid. She freshened with the beautiful udder that we would expect from our strong "A" doe line, but has some texture problems in her mammary making her foreudder look a little off. She is one of the first does to catch your eye when you walk in the milker pen and has the personality to go with it. She's our "Who's that doe!" We didn't think she would see much of the show ring but we took her as an extra to a three ring show and she finished her championship! She placed 8th in the 5&6 year old class at the 2016 ADGA National Show with comments that she had one of the best mammaries in the class. As she has aged, it is clear how important she is genetically. She has a stunning daughter fresh in Moldova, and all her daughters here have been beautiful. At least one son has beautiful milking daughters. We are hoping for a few more of her kids in her senior years but if not, very happy with the 5 currently in the herd.

Ananke is one of my favorites and reminds so much of our Winterberry foundation animals, especially Alibi, her great, great granddam. Ananke freshened with a lovely udder with a very well attached, long smooth foreudder. She is a big powerful deep bodied doe with that beautiful dairy wedge I love to see. First two tests as a yearling were 8.6 & 9.0 pounds and she did not disappoint us as a 2 year old with her first test 11.1. Her next couple of lactations were with singles and didn't do as well. She finished her championship as a 2 year old, making her our first 5th generation SGCH Starfire doe.

Meli is a product of our double dipping. Her two sisters were sired by another buck and as different as night and day. Meli has a longer bone pattern and is sharper and more dairy than her sisters and level as a table top. She also happens to be the only doe kid from our purchase of Kryptonite, son to Pika the 3 time National Champion. She freshened 10 days early and did not come into as much milk as the other yearlings but she has a dandy udder! As excited as we were about her, she developed mastitis, has been treated by several products recommended by our vet and dried off to heal. After two more freshenings and many more treatments, we have not been able to "fix" her udder so she is a brood doe.

Nebula is another product of our double dipping. She and her sister Omarosa were sired by Bourbon and Meli by Kryptonite. Such different kids! At her debut as a yearling milker she was twice Reserve Grand Champion picking up her first milking leg. In 2020 with very limited shows she was four times Reserve Grand Champion and one time Grand Champion picking up her second leg and finishing her championship at her first show this year. She is a very much like her dam being very level and correct on strong feet and legs.

Phlavia is our first daughter from Phae, blonde and beautiful like her dam and she knows it. She is a carbon copy of her dam, just so elegant, she takes your breath away, just not the udder or production Phae had. She is a tall long and level doe with a beautiful wide, level rump. Hoping she comes into more milk as she matures.

When we sent Karysma back to Dancers Ridge, we were to get a doe kid from her. When the doe kid was born, she let her nurse the kid. At the time we had our hands full with a big export so she got to stay with her dam. We picked her up when we got William and Kyros back a year later and she was as wild as a jay bird. Being a dam raised kid she hated us but after her first freshening she thinks we're not all that bad but still convinced she is living in the lion's den. She is very much like her dam, from her color to her style, being long and tall with that will to milk. The longer she is here, the more she likes me and I her.

Phergie has her mother's elegance and then some. She is long and level with strong feet and legs. She freshened with a very well attached udder with her dam's perfect teat placement, reminding me very much of Angelia's udder as a yearling, maybe better. It's been a long time since I've been this excited over a doe. At her first show as a kid she was Grand Champion and at her first show as a milking doe she finished her championship going two times Grand Champion. Looking for big things from this beautiful doe as she matures.

Lexi and her sister are just gorgeous were gorgeous kids and have not disappointed as fresh does. Lexi freshened with a beautiful well attached udder and so far does not look like a fresh yearling. She never skipped a beat after dropping her kid.

Gena inherited Steel's zinc deficiency and struggles with it even with loads of ZinPro. She looks like a typical yearling milker but has everything she needs to be a beautiful mature doe. She has a beautiful well attached udder with a nice high wide rear. Just needs to get past that chicken leg look!
