Darlin' came to us in milk in the spring of 2015, and we were thrilled to add her to the herd. Darlin' hails from Algedi royalty on 3/4 of her pedigree, she is even a granddaughter of the infamous SGCH Algedi Farm DJ Honey Dew 5*M EEEE 91. Her pedigree predicts not only excellence in conformation, but milk as well.
Darlin's dam SG Alethia MH Dew a Little Dance earned her 6*M milking over 900 pounds of milk as a yearling first freshener! At the end of her lactation she even blew the roof off the charts with butterfat marked at 9.9% Darlin' is a long bodied doe with excellent body capacity standing on strong legs. Her udder is well attached and capacious with good fore-udder extension. She has received excellent marks in rear udder height and arch and scored an "E" in Body, Dairy Strength and Mammary on her 2017 LA. Darlin milked almost 1,500 pounds during her 2016 lactation, as well as earning her Superior Genetics designation during the same year and securing the #2 ADGA Top Ten Breed Leader for Milk production. In 2017 her LA score truly reflected what a beautiful doe she is, she earned a VEEE 90 at 4 years and 4 months old! Darlin is well on pace to milk over 1,400 pounds during her 2017 lactation and her two-year-old first freshening daughter will milk just shy of 1,300 pounds. These are incredibly milky genetics! |

Barn Name: Belle Gold - Blue Eyes Date of Birth: March 14, 2015 Sire: Algedi Farm DJ Piper (VEE 89) Dam: SG Gryphon ST Darlin' 7*M (VEEE 90) |
Belle is quickly following in her dams footsteps. As a two-year-old first freshener she milked 1293 pounds...as a First Freshener!! These genetics pass on such a will to milk...it's incredible what we are seeing generation after generation.
We think she has a ton of potential and can't wait to watch her fully mature.
Belle resides at Wolfivan Ranch in Valley Center, California

We are so thrilled with our very first daughter to freshen from Castle Rock Red Hot Saracha. At just 15 months old and just 11 days fresh, Hidden Hills RHS Kiss & Tell earned an V+VV 86 on Linear Appraisals.
We were hoping to see some improvements on her dams udder confirmation and Kiss & Tell does not disappoint. For such a young doe her udder capacity already looks impressive. Because she kidded so late in the season she will have a shorter than usual lactation this year, but I am so excited to have her on a long lactation next year and to see what this young girl can do.
Kiss And Tell (Katie) has a very attractive feminine frame with a smoothness of blending throughout. She correctly stands slightly taller at the withers and has inherited her mothers beautifully sculpted head. I admire her level top line and how correctly she stands on her front legs and pasterns. At just a year old she is already showing nice body capacity with a nice wide escutcheon
