Wild In Wild D Delmore *B
3 y/o buck
His full sister and a daughter both made the Elite list this year, in the 96th percentile for production. The daughter, Wild In Wild DM Nootka Rose, hit 500lbs of milk in the first 100 days of her first lactation, with a peak test day of 5.4lbs. His full sister, Wild In Wild D Black Fern, was not far behind with 450lbs at 100 days and a peak test of 4.8lbs as a FF. His dam's second lactation was 500 days, never dropping below 2.2lbs despite being on 24-hr fills for 370 of those days, and most of her tests were in the high 2s/low 3s and early tests neared 6lbs, demonstrating the strong capacity of this line. Loretta (dam) is currently in the 92nd percentile.
His paternal side is stacked with Elite and Top Ten milkers. His granddam, Sugar Moon F Starlight, is a Zuzanna daughter and has a 1600+ lb lactation on the books herself. The closest does on his sire's side are in the 98th and 99th percentiles for production.
Besides production, Del's daughters have shown early success in the show ring and at appraisal. Nootka Rose appraised at V+VV85 as a first freshener and Double Helix and Wanderlust Farms have both had recent successes showing Del's young progeny in some competitive classes.
Delly is a muscular, correct buck with a sweet disposition. He has loads of data behind him and is probably not far out from earning his +B designation. I'm only offering him up because we have his sire, dam, littermate sister, and two daughters and have way too many bucks. (Even so, I've pulled back on selling him more than once)
He is fully perfumed and chompin at the bit to do his fall duties. I'm genuinely proud of this dude. I'd love for him to land in an established performance home but he'd also make an excellent first buck and we'd sell him in a small package with unrelated does if that was of interest for someone wanting to hit the ground running with a new dairy herd.
PM for details.
Located in Beavercreek, Oregon. Willing to meeting within 90 minutes of our farm.
