We’re excited that kidding season is nearly upon us!!

📢Now for anyone on a 2025 kid reservation, I need you to contact me through my herds website PRETTY PLEASE!! I’ve lost all access to messenger for the time being, I’d love to exchange cell numbers.

👀 Peep our new bottle kid barn‼️ I’m deeply in love with it & couldn’t be more grateful for my father in law for building it.

So excited to see her first freshening udder this coming spring, just from the few sneak peaks I've seen so far, I think it's going to be stunning. 🤞🏼

Thinking of how to start this post 🤔

Well I met Alisha with The Bad Habit Barn back in August when she attended the Copper Caprine show in Sonoita, Az. I gawked over her stunning does that were in attendance for the show and we spent a few hours late in the barn chatting. I immediately knew that we shared similar goals & she was my kinda person♥️ I got to watch her doe 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐒 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝟐*𝐌 win GCH & RCH against some serious fierce🔥 competition!!

Fast track another month or so later, we got to talking about reservations & how fun it would be to 🅂🅆🄰🄿 junior does from our keeper pens. Along with that each doe would leave confirmed bred. Well she sent over the list of juniors to select from & without a second thought, I knew I wanted 𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐀 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝. The rump width on the girl speaks volume!

Well it came time for Alisha to select her junior from my pen & well…. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘁 𝗣𝗛 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗽 aka Charlie will now reside in Nevada with The Bad Habit herd. Charlie is already showing the most potential at having the BEST yearling FF udder😘. I’m not going to lie, when I agreed to let Charlie be the keeper to trade I almost cried. But only because I’m excited to see her future & wish her the utmost success♥️ Charlie’s dam is 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐭 𝐉𝐁 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - was awarded Reserve Champion senior milker as a YEARLING FF this year👏🏻🔥 (GCH doe was finished- so she got the leg😉) meaning Last Dance aka Ruthie is one leg away for becoming a Finished Champion.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘁 𝗣𝗛 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗽 left confirmed bred to 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐭 𝐒 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐁𝐲𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 who’s dam is SGCH Desert Bounty F Trouble VVEE91 & sire is Urban Acres CRF-SG SunSeeker (son of the 2023 Reserve National Champion!! & half brother to this years 2024 highest selling goat in the Spotlight sale😂👏🏻)

The genetic potential behind this pairing 🧬😘🔥
Literally can’t wait to see what these kids look like when they’re born in March! Both dams behind this pairing are finished CHAMPIONS, 91/90 LA scoring does and easily produced 1,200lbs in a single lactation. Now to count the days until I can ultrasound & confirm this breeding!🤞🏻
✨ Doe reservations are full✨

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself -Henry Ford

Finally got around to yanking hair from the smelly bucks🦨so I could stop putting off sending in DNA. All our bucks are officially on file now (pending ADGA) & I'm slowly chipping away at the doe herd as well. The goal is to have our herd all with DNA on file, and have DNA stored in house to hopefully avoid any exclusion list🤞🏼
