Introducing...Our newest STAR Milker

8/22/2014

0 Comments

 
USDA Results were posted in ADGA this morning, and Twin Willows TIO Ambrosia Ann has hit 21 lbs of butterfat at 159 days fresh as a first freshener.  Her littermate sister Twin Willows TIO Apple Blossom is a mere ONE pound away from starring.  We will keep her milking until her next test to make sure she stars this lactation. 

We are tired, and we need a short break. We are in the process of drying off all of our does.  This season we will have starred 6 out of 8 does. I would say that's a pretty good year. We expect to start turning in dry doe sheets starting next week and we will get official notification of stars earned. 

We are also working on Spring breedings, and figuring out who gets bred to whom this year.  We have a couple of does due yet this year, and we expect to start kidding for Spring around the last of January, first of February. Life is never dull on Twin Willows Farm!

Sinai Thunder AG Joshua *B*S (foreground) and Dionysus (rear)
Yesterday, Brandon and I made a trip down to see our good friend, Jill Maple-Thomas, of Sinai Thunder Farm in central Kentucky. We spent several hours with Jill catching up and having a great time, and we brought home our new little boy, Joshua.  We are SOO blessed to be able to add this boy to our herdsires.  Joshua is the progeny of Olson Acres RC Augustine *B (AGS Lost Valley KW Raising Cain X GCH Olson Acres Monica 1*M) and Kaapio Acres HH Redemption 1*M/AR 1*B/AR (CH/MCHKaapio Acres Hot Habanero X Rosasharn GX Cinnamon D).  To say that this little guy has milk behind him, is a vast understatement. His sire comes from a long line of milk, and his dam has consistently been in the Top Ten list since her first freshening.  

Here is a list of his dam's current accomplishments:

2013 AGS National Top 10 305 Day Test (in ALL 3 categories)
2013 AGS Top 10 1 Day Test (in ALL 4 categories)
6# High (2x) on Test Day (Score: 85.30)
As a First Freshener:
**** 2012 AGS National Top Ten 1 Day Milk Test: #1 in Overall Score ****
2012 AGS National Top Ten 1 Day Milk Test: #3 in Milk Production
2012 AGS National Top Ten 1 Day Milk Test: #7 in Butterfat
ANDDA 2012 Sue Rucker Bronze JuJu Award for Butterfat (42#)


Joshua is GORGEOUS with blue eyes to boot!  Thank you so much to Jill Maple-Thomas for allowing us to add this incredible boy to our herd!!  I cannot thank you enough!! I will get posed pics soon!

We are so excited to go pick up an exciting new addition to our herd this weekend. We are adding a buckling to our buck arsenal who we believe will take our herd to new heights. We are so blessed to be able to add this buck.  His pedigree on both sides are absolutely phenomenal!  We can't wait to meet him!  His identity will be announced soon  =)
