Bambi, who we lovingly call “Cara Mia” (which means My Dear, My Beloved) has a striking face and is a lovely combination of her dam and sire.  She is one of the goats that is dearest to my heart.

Cara’s first time in the show ring was met with great success!  She was 2018 Southern Browsers Udder Extravaganza Senior Class Best in Breed & Grand Champion.  In the 2019 Alabama Dairy Goat Show she placed Third in the Senior Doe Division.  When she kidded in the spring of 2019, she only had one kid, and we did not start milking her until about 12 weeks and were only milking her every other day by the time of the show in October.  If she would have had a more filled udder, we are confident she would have placed higher.  From a production standpoint, we we began participating in DHIA for the first time in 2018, Cara earned her milk star through the ADGA that year, and we didn’t even milk the entire period.  She remained one of our best producers.

Surprisingly during the initial COVID breakout, but when we were able to be out and about with masks on, we were contacted by an animal trainer asking us if we had any goats that would be manageable to be in a couple of episodes of a Disney show that was being filmed in Southeast Louisiana (We actually thought it was a scam at first!)  To make a long story short, our Cara was the “Goat Hero” in the show.  It was a long, hot, and frustrating few days for our Cara, and other goats and chickens that were also used (and for us humans, too.) We were disappointed that several of the shots were cut and that she ended up only have a minute of fame.  But in that part, she shined like the star she is!

Unfortunately in 2022 Cara was diagnosed with cancer.  They weren’t sure how much it had spread and how long she would be with us.  At the beginning of 2025, our precious girl is still with us and remains the most sweet and loving girl.  However, the mass is extremely large and soon she will not be able to manage.  But, for the time being we are going to keep her comfortable and love on her as a truly beloved member of our herd.
