I am happy to introduce Lucky, who arrived here in early November.  Wow!  I am not disappointed!  I think Lucky is a buck who will have a huge positive impact on my herd.  This buck is a little fellow but so very stylish and correct.  Under his winter coat, you can feel that he excels in dairy character.  Look at his uphill stance and very nice set of legs!  If his daughters have eschutcheons like their sire and fill it with a beautiful udder, I will be thrilled beyond words.  In addition, Lucky has plenty of body capacity for his small frame.  If I could change a couple of minor things about him, I would give him tighter toes and slightly more rear leg angulation.  I call him "Lucky Buck" and he will be a busy boy with lots of dates with gorgeous does.   

Here are a bunch of quotes of what Lucky's breeder, Ellen, wrote to me about him before I purchased this handsome chamoisee buck.  
"Kitty has been the most influential doe our herd has ever had. If you look at pedigrees, you'll find very few animals here that are not related to her some how. Either through a daughter, son or grandson. And yes, her line is a tremendous milking line. These does have beautiful mammary systems that milk out to absolutely nothing! They have wonderful teat size, and milk easily."

"The two bucks that have had the greatest influence on our herd are; ARMCH Twin Creeks LS Luck of the Draw +*S and ARMCH Caesar's Villa CBS Cowpoke ++*S, ++B. Lucky's Image is a combination of all three of these animals being a Kitty son, grandson to Luck of the Draw and a Cowpoke daughter."

"Our Derringer daughters have been unbeatable in our area in the Get of Sire class. And then we were privaledged to place 2nd at the ADGA National Show this year. Derringer stamps his daughters with a particular "look", and although they may all be of differing heights, they all have the same general appearance. This year's appraiser, after looking at all three daughters, made the comment that Derringer was an "udder buck", because each of them had exactly the same lovely mammary system. :o) And in fact, all three of my girls earned their stars this year with ADGA's DHIR program. They are still ongoing in their lactations, but each are now star milkers...that will give Derringer his +B designation."

After talking to Lucky's breeder and seeing all the amazing udders in his pedigree, who could resist.  I like that "ease of milking" and large teats seem to be the norm of this bloodline.  In addition to the excellent mammary systems, I am also excited about the correct and stylish conformation that Lucky seems to pass on.  Not only is Lucky very handsome, he has a wonderful and gentle personality.  Thank you, Gary, for trusting us with your favorite goat!
