It’s truly an amazing feeling seeing a junior doe you sold to a promising herd in WA succeed in the show ring! This is honestly a first for our herd and I’m love being their cheerleader from afar!

DesertHardt HB Hidden Gold was one of three triplets born to a first freshening doe. I made the decision to retain one of the two doelings and allowed the second to join Echo Ridge Farms with Ashely and her family. Their management is top notch because Hidden Gold has thrived in their herd from DAY ONE!! Can’t wait to continue to watch their success with their up & coming herd.♥️🏵️👏🏻

This past Monday we attended our 5th year participating in Linear Appraisal, & only our 2nd year having senior does in our herd name appraised. We didn’t retain our first kid until close to three years into breeding goats, we chose to prove out our foundation does first.

Anywho!! Onto what you’re really here for SCORES!
Our yearlings have always been slow to mature, so I agree they were scored appropriately and I’m eager to see them mature with another freshening!

♥️Ohh this sweet foundation doe of mine, she’s chalked full of attitude and has a work ethic to milk that’ll out full a horse. At the ripe age of 6 years old with 6 freshenings under her belt she snagged E in front & rear legs!! Those puppies ain’t breaking down anytime soon😉 E in back & V in head (it’s a solid head, pun intended).

Thank you OwlHaven for once again being our host herd for the 5th year!

Sami (barn name) is a yearling FF that’s proven her potential in our herd immensely this show season. Shes been placed 1st in her classs 4 times out of 6 judges (Az & Tx age classes). I look at Sami & all I see is her grand-dam Creosote Ranch Dairy Goats - Calamity Jane, a doe that had incredible power and the perfect balance of dairy strength. What’s the cherry on top?? Sami’s grand dam is our stunning foundation doe Trouble, talk about the perfect stacked foundation.

This weekend the herd & I decided to stay put & gear up for the next adventure. Of course this meant watching our friends attend shows, including lil Hidden Gold who was shown by her owners in WA at the Udder Spectacular!! This show had over 100 ND juniors entered & this gem was named Reserve Champion under two of the judges!! Thank you Echo Ridge Farms for helping this sweet doe rise to her full potential!♥️🏵️

⬇️𝙒𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙗𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙢⬇️
Today, at just three months old, this little powerhouse doe brought home TWO Reserve Champion titles!
From the moment I had the opportunity to bring her into my herd, I knew she was something special. She truly is my hidden gold.

This doe has exceeded every expectation — with strength, beautiful feet and legs, and a level topline that just keeps getting better. She carries herself with confidence and grace far beyond her age, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this golden girl.

This past weekend was a whirlwind! 🌬️We left early Thursday May 8th for the long 18+ hour trek across Arizona, New Mexico & all of West Texas to arrive at Mineral Wells, Texas early evening May 9th. I will say the LQ’s on the trailer was a blessing & allowed us to pull over to catch some sleep 😴

Let me just say that Texas is full of amazing breeders that were nothing but kind to my family & I. I never once felt out of place and met the best people!
The milkers held their own and consistently were top 5 in the age classes.

⭐️ Yearling FF - DesertHardt PH Gold Advisory (Troubles grandkid) 1st under Todd Biddle - 2nd under Scott Horner & Jake Bradford.

🌟 2YR 2F - DesertHardt JB Last Dance was 2nd under Todd Biddle, I made the mistake of relieving her to much and with that dropped her RUH. He made mention that if she showed said height she would’ve been granted 1st. *Lesson learned*

⭐️ 3YR 3F - DesertHardt JB First Advantage was 1st under Todd Biddle and was 2nd in Champion Challenge. Todd had nothing but the best things to say about Advantage, and just kept saying he loved this doe.

💥 6YR 6F - SGCH Desert Bounty F Trouble VVEE91 was 3X’s BOB and then went on to be 3X’s BIS under Todd Biddle, Jake Bradford & Scott Horner.

Juniors did “alright” 😂 by the time we were showing Jr’s we all seemed to be running on empty. Few top 5 placings.

⭐️ 0 to 3months class - DesertHardt HB Bar Fly (Troubles great grandkid🫣) was able to snag a 1st place in her age class under Jake Bradford, Todd Biddle & Scott Horner MAKING HER 6X’s 🥇 in every ring she’s walked into thus far. Such a special doe she’s going to be. Bar Fly was then awarded Reserve Champion under Jake Bradford.

Happy Mothers Day to my beautiful grandma & mom!

Before I do a massive write up on the show that took place yesterday in mineral wells, Texas I wanted to give a separate appreciation post.

Thank you to my momma for traveling the 20+ hour trip with me & the herd on this wild hair adventure I came up with while standing ringside at a Arizona show back in April 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️🤪 You’re the GOAT 🐐

My lovely grandma & sister skipped the drive and flew straight in the evening before the show. Thank you Megan Hardt for being the absolute best showman, you help the herd look amazing (even if you kicked my ass with my own goats in the age classes😉). Grandma Edite was the best with listening to the judges remarks, photos, and ensuring I drank/ate something during the show. The support you provide is something I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Had an amazing day showing the herd at the CTDGA Spring Fling Doe Show in Mineral Wells, Texas **Show details to come!**

Phew😮‍💨 this past weekend we attend the 2025 Caprine Classic hosted by SADGA in junction with the Pima County Fair. We took a total of 15 goats (8 milkers & 7 juniors) to our first show of the season. The biggest thank you goes out to my family! Without you there’s no way I could’ve had so many goats shown (my back wouldn’t allow it). Helpers; Megan (sister), April (mother), & Edite (grandmother). I love how everyone was willing to step in and show each doe to her best potential

I don’t have exact placings on every herd member but I will say I’m so very pleased with everyone’s placings.

Whew!! 😥

Was March a blur for anyone else or just us?? Somehow we were able to sneak in TWO milk tests (23 daysys apart). Our goal is to smash out as many tests before our busy show schedule & awful Arizona heat arrives!

You’ll notice a few does did drop quite a bit between tests, I had a few go off feed for a few days and because of it it took a toll on milk production. Happy to report they’re back up and eager to get another test in to make up for the drop. Few does also need to be added onto our next test, they were to fresh at the time.
