I'd been looking to add this bloodline to my herd for well over a year, ever since I heard about a doe in California (Piru Creek Jewel) who produced over 3,000lbs of milk in 305 days! That's solid production for a SAANEN, and absolutely mindblowing for a Guernsey...
I spent several weeks trying to set up to buy a buckling out of that big producer, but the seller couldn't get me the paperwork I needed and we missed out on transport.
Then I found out that there was a Guernsey breeder in Seattle with Jewel's FULL sister Ruth/Tiara, and I immediately bought her son Guillaume! Unfortunately he was horned and it just didn't work in my herd, so I had to send him back (Sarah was lovely about the whole thing) after breeding him to only ONE doe. For 5 months I waited and hoped for a buckling out of that doe that I could disbud and use in my herd, but nope. Twin doelings. Sigh.
