Moose is our oldest doe still in milk. Her name, well, may need a bit of explaining... She was one of twins, and she was much bigger than her brother at birth. Her name was going to be "Lucy", but when we saw her and her brother side by side, someone exclaimed, "She's a moose compared to her brother!" It stuck. We named her brother, don't laugh.. yep, Peanut.
We were thrilled when Moose brought us to fame in 2013 with the one day milk test. That day she milked #5.1. When the AGS top ten records came out, she placed 9th for volume with the one day milk test. She went on to be our first doe to milk over #1000. She was also our first doe to have a one day milk test star and her AR star with both AGS and ADGA.
When her third freshening rolled around, we were hoping for a doeling. In the past, Moose has only kidding bucklings. This time the sire was our newer buck, Valentine, who's dam has such a amazing record. But she, true to her style, twin bucklings. We were beginning to think there would be no doelings, when with her fourth freshening, she kidding two bucklings and yes, finally, two doelings! Rosemary had twin bucklings her first freshening. She milked 616 as a first frehener. We had high hopes for her second freshening, when she tragically passed from a brain anarizm two months before she was due. Report from autopsy, perfectly healthy, pregenant with quad bucklings. In 2016, Moose surprised us with a single doeling, Schwanli, who is doing well as a FF this year.
Today, though Moose is getting up in years and no longer produces as much milk, she continues to hold the legacy of our first doe to bring our name on the Top Ten records. We are planning to keep another doeling from her next freshening, (if she has one) to again carry on her legacy, in milk, not bucklings.
