NW FAUNA - P ET, AJCA JEUSA000174326731 {1} BBR89, A1/A2, Kappa Casein AB, Beta Lactoglobulin AB, was an embryo transferred from NW Fern. She's Lilac, Thistle and Flora's full sister, and paternal half sister to Willow, Garnet and Aurora by TDH Dino Smurf. She went to be the first livestock on an Arizona homestead where she'll be adored by the couple's 10 grandchildren. Fauna loves to get kisses and give snuggles. She's going to be so spoiled with irrigated pasture, Pecan trees, Mulberry trees for shade and snacking, afternoon breezes through the valley and walks around the acreage.

MUNCHKIN - P, IMCBR6137, is Buttercup's first calf and Snowflake Flurry's half sister. Both her dam and sire, DC Todd (IMCBR4412, MJHB057) have some big names in Miniature Jersey breeding. She's a sweet little princess, always eager to be the center of attention. She loves being scratched and brushed all over. She will stick her tail nearly straight up when you rub her udder! We think she's going to make her new family in California a wonderful family milk cow.

CREME CARAMEL (Cara) went to a young family working towards self-sustainability on 180 acres in Colorado. She gave them a heifer by Wellington later that Summer. Cara is the first calf born to Buttermilk, a half sister to Creme Brulee and Emerald, and the granddaughter of Sweet Cream. She's somewhat shy but an excellent mother to Ruby and affectionate to our Livestock Guardian Dogs. Early in her lactation she tandem nursed Ruby and Emerald. Her training will serve her new family well as their first family milk cow.

SWEET CREAM is the Dam of Buttermilk and Creme Brulee and one of our original two cows. She went to a rancher's wife in Kansas.

She easily gave 3 gallons of milk a day, with a quart of cream per gallon. She was affectionate and gentle, allowing us to give milking lessons to the children who toured our homestead.
