Sonflower Ranch Aspen
Mini NubianDoe (female)

I lost Aspen in August 2021. She was such an amazing goat! So smart, protective, and productive. As herd queen she kept the herd safe and in line. She ruled with a "don't you dare look" more often than with her effective head butting. She was the first to investigate anything new on the farm and kept the rest of the herd back - so brave! See the photo from when the kunekune joined the farm. Always first in line she also kept the herd in a consistent pasture grazing pattern. Aside from being a great mom she was the absolute best milker I've ever experienced. She had capacity, fantastic attachment, nice foreudder, and such a lovely, buttery soft texture with large orifices. Milking was a breeze, fast, and fun (after she learned to behave on the milk stand...slightly stubborn and opinionated). I really like my goats, but Aspen truly was extremely special. A group of Aspen trees is called a clone because each is genetically the same. Aspen trees also have prolific and extensive rooting rates. I have kept three doelings out of Aspen (Samara, Willow, and Oakley) and many grandchildren, nieces, and cousins in the hope that her most wonderful qualities as a fantastic highly productive doe will form a strong foundation and consistency in my breeding program. I have not been disappointed!
