Echo as a baby
Goat, Saanen, Buck (male) | White
Echo was a very exciting animal to bring into my herd. His genetics are hard to beat!! His FF dam Timandra (pictured) produced 12.1lbs on milk test at just 6 weeks fresh! Timandra's dam, Tinuviel, had a solid 2800lb peak production year, and has consistently produced daughters with higher production that herself (including Timandra's full sister who produced 4130 lbs/milk in a 344 day lactation).Echo's sire, Yankee Doodle (pictured), is an Elite buck, scoring 92 EEE! Doodle's dam (pictured) produced an incredible 5267 lbs/milk, 193 lbs/butterfat and 176 lbs/protein in a 310 day lactation as a 3 year old... Absolutely staggering.Doodle's daughters are coming out extremely impressive as well. The milk test info that I have access to (thank you Copper Penny Ranch!), has a couple of his daughters producing 3285lb in 275 DIM (Days In Milk) and 4020lb in 320 DIM...My only freshened daughter of his (so far) has a very pretty udder and is producing nearly a gallon a day at only 7 weeks fresh. I'm very impressed with her!Unfortunately, Echo passed away the January after I got him. His 4 precious daughters will be very important in my herd moving forward, and one of their 2022 bucklings will be my new herd sire.
