Cocoa Puff, “Cocoa” is a handsome girl and has a delightful personality.  She is strong and sturdy.  She enjoys being loved and petted on and is quite content just sitting there visiting with us.  She has champions in her lineage and we have been very pleased with her kids.  Her son, Hawkeye, from 2016 kidding has made a great herd sire for us, with a sturdy muscular build, and has an A/A Alpha Casein from a milk standpoint. We also retained one of her does from 2016, “Cara Mia”, who is excellent on the milk stand and received a milk star when entered into DHIA in 2018, and has had success in the couple of shows she has entered.

We had also retained another daughter, Stormie, and as a first freshener in 2019, she was excellent on the milk stand, one of our highest producers, and had a lovely udder.  We made the decision to bring new genetics into our herd, so had to sell some of our girls to bring in a couple others.  It was a tough decision, but Stormie was one we sold.  She indeed went to new owners that we knew would love and care for her very much.  However, I continually think that she was a very special girl and that we should have not let her go.  The positive side of this, we are happy she went to great owners and is loved very much.

Cocoa continued to make lovely babies and was and still is an excellent mother/grandmother to her adult descendants.  She did begin to have breakdown of her udder’s lateral suspensory ligaments as she aged with multiple freshening.  However, she continued to produces very well.  Her udder was virtually all milk, minimal excess fat and tissue, and when she was milked out, her udder shrivels up, as you would like in a good dairy goat. On the milk stand, she was a dream.  Cocoa has nice sized teats with orifices that made her fastest milker of our herd.

Because we have many other younger breeders, we decided to give our Cocoa a break these last couple of years, but you can tell during kidding season, she misses being a mom.  We will wait to see if we will permanently retire her, but she is getting up in age.
