Our TN Adventure: Amazin Dream of Mine

We have added a new little buckling to our herd.

Sire's Sire: +*B Kastdemur's King of the Hill

Sire's Sire's Sire: ++*B Brown Sugar's Crown Ambassador

Now if your not from the goat world, your probably thinking what in the world does all this mean.

Here is an explanation of all of the abbreviations found before and after each name.

*B - Stars on bucks are earned by virtue of parents with production records meeting ADGA minimums of milk production.

+B - Plusses on bucks are earned by virtue of offspring meeting ADGA requirements of milk production.

#*M - The # stands for successive generation of a doe line that has earned a star based on minimums set forth by ADGA for milk production.

CH(ampion) - Show Wins

GCH G(rand) CH(ampion) - Show wins and a milk star earned from Advanced Registry or Star Volume minimum.

SG/CH - Superior Genetics

Dream's Sire: Kastdemur's Ain't He Amazin' along with his sire: Kastdemur's King of the Hill and his sire: Brown Sugar's Crown Ambassador was listed on the ADGA Elite Buck List on Nov 2012.

As you can see now from reading the abbreviation descriptions and looking over Dream's lines. He truly is amazing!!! We are really hoping he will pass on his excellent genetics onto his future kids he will have here at Russell's Ridge Nubians.

His full name is Davis Run Amazin Dream of Mine. Davis Run in the breeder we got him from and I added Amazin in his name since that is in his sire's name. Dream of Mine is self explanatory. He was definitely a dream of mine that has come true.

I have also decided to call him either Dream or most times we will be calling him Bruadar. It is pronounced Brew-dar and it means dream in Gaelic. Most of the time I call him baby right now. :)

He is doing well. He is now 5 weeks old and still eating his bottle full of fresh goats milk 3 times a day. He is also eating hay and grain with all the other babies we have here.

Bruadar (Dream) will be staying with the other babies and older does until he is 3 months old and then he will be moved over in with the bucks. The reason for this is because they are sexually mature at 3 months old and can easily get a doe pregnant. We prefer to do hand breeding, which is specific chosen breeding's done as certain times which help us know when the doe is exactly due so we may be present for the birthing to make sure everything goes smoothly.

We are excited to watch Dream mature and grow into a magnificent buck that I know he will be.

Here are some other pictures I have taken of him:
