Loner is a combination of some of our best genetics in one buck. We really had no intention of keeping a home bred buck, but he sort of grew on us and the more we thought about it, the more excited we were about using him to line breed on Sunshine and Splash. We have not regretted that decision as his offspring have been gorgeous and milk well. We sent him to a couple of other herds for a few years and we were so excited to have him back!

Fruitful-Acres Simply Splendid

NubianDoe (female)

ADGA# DOB: 2/19/20224 yrs

G6S Normal, disbudded Splenda is a lovely combination of beautiful, milky animals with Six M Galaxy, Goldthwaite and Simple-Truth (Remuda and Lakeshore) bloodlines behind her. As a FF, she impressed us by kicking up in milk production later in her lactation when all the other does were winding down for the winter. One of tiny triplet sisters, she was the favorite from the moment she arrived. She is a colorful easy keeper from the doe who for years gave us the most butterfat every year. Her dam is the half sister of the number one Top Ten doe from a few years ago, Simple-Truth Celerity. Her sire is the son of an Elite doe that was always stocky even when she gave us triplets as a twelve year old. We’ve noticed that her first offspring have been easy keepers like her and her paternal grandam. Linear Appraisal: 84 +V++ 02-07

Pedigree

G6S Normal, Polled

Fruitful-Acres Blue Ranger, a.k.a. Blue, is the son of Fruitful-Acres Lone Ranger *B (a.k.a. Loner) and Fruitful-Acres Simply Splendid (a.k.a. Splenda). He is naturally polled and G6S normal.

Loner, was a combination of some of our best genetics in one buck. We sent him to a couple of other herds for a few years and we've been told his daughters have universally been improvements over their dams in udder qualities and milk production, but most of his daughters haven't been on milk test. The first daughter of his that we got on test made the Elite list, so we feel his reputation for making milky daughters has been validated. Loner was polled, G6S normal and was an easy keeper like his parents and grandparents.

Splenda is a lovely combination of beautiful, milky animals with Six M Galaxy, Goldthwaite and Simple-Truth (Remuda and Lakeshore) bloodlines behind her. As a FF, she impressed us by kicking up in milk production later in her lactation when all the other does were winding down for the winter. She is a colorful easy keeper from the doe who for years gave us the most butterfat every year. Her dam has been appraised as a 91EEEE and is the half sister of the number one Top Ten doe from a few years ago, Simple-Truth Celerity. Her sire is the son of an Elite doe that was always stocky even when she gave us triplets as a twelve year old. We’ve noticed that her first offspring have been easy keepers like her and her paternal grandam.

We are expecting to see this easy keeping trait being passed down through Blue's offspring along with high milk production and long lactations like we've seen in their immediate ancestors.
