Poppy is a rather heavy linebreeding on GCH Algedi Farm Drops of Jupiter ++*B EEE91 and SGCH Rosasharn's TL Zenith 3-M EEVE90. Her dam has a nicely shaped, well attached udder that milks out so well with large orifices however, I haven't seen as much production from her has I'd like. Her sire comes from a long line of gorgeous "E" udders with nice capacity and I'm hoping for some improvement from him over her dam.

Poppy is a sweet little puppy-dog goat. She was our only fall kid born and from the day she was born she enjoyed the extra, undivided attention she received. Poppy may not be one of my leaner, more 'dairy' goats but she is already displaying a nice wedge shape with her depth and width under her shaggy winter coat but still maintains nice length of body. I can't wait to clip her this coming summer and see what we're really working with despite the awkward yearling stage she's entering!

Poppy's color is a little bit of a mystery so I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing what she produces in her offspring. We've determined her dam is gold carrying chocolate, and we know her sire is black. Together the most likely color combo from these two colors is gold, black or chocolate. Poppy however is black with chocolate which is unusual. It makes her look as if she has moonspots, which I don't suspect is the case because no where in her well documented pedigree are any goats visibly carrying moonspots or to be mentioned of having any. Sooo, it's thought she might be a somatic mutation which I find quite interesting and has been something new to learn about!

Poppy will be a first freshener Spring 2023.
