2023- Jasmine kidded buck/doe twins easily two days before her due date in May of 2023. Kids were 5.8lbs and 7.4lbs. Jasmine had no issues kidding, despite it being late at night. We did induce her kidding in order to make sure we were able to make some other plans we had in place near the time of her due date. She kidded 24 hours, exactly, after the first lutalyse shot. She showed zero signs of labor during evening feeding, but I went ahead and put her in the kidding stall anyway about 9:30pm and kept a good eye on her with our barn cameras as I finished my evening. I checked the cameras one more time about 10:45pm, before climbing in bed myself, and I couldn’t really see her in the frame but could hear her talking, so I went back to the barn. Jasmine had begun labor and already had the large buckling out and was cleaning him off. The doe kid followed quickly once I arrived in the kidding stall. Both were healthy and vigorous, and Jasmine hasn’t skipped a beat since. The buckling sold as grade at about a month old to a farm near Tulsa, OK. The doeling, Kansas Bluestem AM Tinkerbell, went to Lisa, of Fairly Farms, over in Arkansas. Jasmine’s lactation was nice and steady. We loved the way her udder took shape and her teats pulled down as her udder matured. Jasmine peaked at just under a gallon of milk a day, on an extremely hot day in an extremely dry summer. Due to our breeding schedule, we cut her 305 day lactation short by about 30 days, and while she easily met her butterfat and volume * milker requirements, she fell short of volume by about 2oo lbs.

2024- Jasmine kidded twin bucklings sired by PNP-Legacy Ralph Lauren one day past her due date. Again, both kids were of good size, averaging over 7.0lbs. This year her labor was natural and followed a normal progression, differing from the hard and fast labor of her first freshening. She milked well but unfortunately came down with a high parasite load and that was followed by a battle with pneumonia at about halfway through her lactation. We dried her off to aide in her recovery time.

2025- We repeated the breeding to PNP-Legacy Ralph Lauren this year, in hopes of getting a doe kid. Jasmine delivered twin does three days past her due date. One was the perfect keeper we wanted, and the other sold to a homestead in NW Oklahoma. Jasmine came into milk beautifully and appraised GVVE 87. Her udder really did look excellent! Our family schedule resulted in more sporadic milking times than typical for us through the spring of 2025, which had a negative impact on her overall production. She milked strongly until we dried her off at 263 days in milk.

2026- Jasmine was bred to Camelot Cattle Co Thidwick this year and delivered two doe, one buck triplets two days past her due date. (We’re noticing a pattern… she likes to go long!) Unfortunately, we lost the buckling due to complications from disbudding, but both doelings were offered for sale with registration. Again, she’s come into milk beautifully and we’re looking forward to maintaining a steady schedule to maximize her production this year.
