Bear's pedigree is packed with nice milk production, high butterfat content and beautiful does. His dam, as well as her 2 littermate sisters, made the Elite List as Yearling First Fresheners in 2022! His Sire, Bravehart Carabear, is full brother to SG Better Wayz SwissMiss Carabear 3*M VEEE92 (Elite & 2021 Top Ten), SG Better Wayz Harmony Carabear 3*M VEEE91 (Elite) and SG Better Wayz Funshine Carabear VEEE91 (Elite). Not to mention, all 4 grandparents are or have been on the Elite List as well! Scroll down to see the animals in his pedigree.
We were so happy with Bear's first crop of kids in 2024 that we are using him heavily again for 2025 kids! Also, he's been throwing a few moonspots on kids (he's the only common demoninator with the kids that were born with them).
