It's taken me months to add Turquoise on here, because I still can't believe she's mine...
5ish years ago I noticed this lovely girl at Treasured Sunrise Acres in Idaho, and I've been obsessed with her ever since. She caught my eye immediately with her level topline, long rump and strong pasterns. But what clinched it was her udder... The vast majority of Guernseys that I see, have poor udder attachments and teat placement. But not only was Turquoise's udder strong and balanced, but she only got better with age!!
For 5 years I tried to get a buckling from her, but my 3 favorite bucks at TSA were all closely related to her, so there was just never a breeding that I was really excited about... Finally I gave up on getting a buckling, and just started messaging Jolene every few months asking if Turquoise was for sale yet. Apparently (luckily) she found me charming instead of annoying, and eventually let me buy her. It's the most I've ever paid for a goat by far, but I had to have her...
First I bred her to a friend's Saanen and prayed for bucklings (got twin does of course), then I bought a fancy Saanen buck and got a SINGLE doeling. Sigh.
I've already purchased a buckling for this next season. All my fingers and toes crossed, I'll get a couple unrelated herd sires for my herd moving forward!! All of her babies will be retained forever amen.
