Sr. Saanen Does

     Day was a beautiful doe with an amazing globular udder. She had a beautiful full fore udder that was as long as a country mile paired with a striking rear udder. Her pedigree is one packed with animals that have excelled at the national level. This doe really had eye appeal and elegance balanced with power, grounded on sound feet. Day easily finished at the first shows we took her to and picked up several Best Udder In Show tittles. On her fourth lactation, Day averaged 1 and 1/4 gallons a day with 2.7% protein and 3% butterfat.
     We were ecstatic to have the opportunity to bring Day home in 2010 and devastated when we lost her in January of 2012. We lost Day suddenly and unexpectedly, the necropsy we had preformed had no answers as to cause of death. We miss Day's presence in our herd and lament the fact that she died before being having the chance to compete in her Prime against National competition. Day will forever have an impact on the Saanen breed, through her sons and granddaughters. We were fortunate enough to have her son, Rancho-Snowfall King For A Day, born here on the farm, and when we restart our Saanen program we hope to be able to use him in our herd through AI.
