I lost Aspen in August 2021. She was such an amazing goat! So smart, protective, and productive. As herd queen she kept the herd safe and in line. She ruled with a "don't you dare look" more often than with her effective head butting. She was the first to investigate anything new on the farm and kept the rest of the herd back - so brave! See the photo from when the kunekune joined the farm. Always first in line she also kept the herd in a consistent pasture grazing pattern. Aside from being a gr ...
I lost Aspen in August 2021. She was such an amazing goat! So smart, protective, and productive. As herd queen she kept the herd safe and in line. She ruled with a "don't you dare look" more often than with her effective head butting. She was the first to investigate anything new on the farm and kept the rest of the herd back - so brave! See the photo from when the kunekune joined the farm. Always first in line she also kept the herd in a consistent pasture grazing pattern. Aside from being a great mom she was the absolute best milker I've ever experienced. She had capacity, fantastic attachment, nice foreudder, and such a lovely, buttery soft texture with large orifices. Milking was a breeze, fast, and fun (after she learned to behave on the milk stand...slightly stubborn and opinionated). I really like my goats, but Aspen truly was extremely special. A group of Aspen trees is called a clone because each is genetically the same. Aspen trees also have prolific and extensive rooting rates. I have kept three doelings out of Aspen (Samara, Willow, and Oakley) and many grandchildren, nieces, and cousins in the hope that her most wonderful qualities as a fantastic highly productive doe will form a strong foundation and consistency in my breeding program. I have not been disappointed!

One of three retained doelings out of Sonflower Ranch Aspen. It was immediately evident that Willow was both long legged and graceful her first week of life. As I work with a tree theme for Aspen's offspring the name "Willow" seemed perfect. I enjoyed many days under the willows in my childhood neighborhood. Willow's elegance and peaceful nature has continued to be her shining feature as she grew this year. The Bible verses I think of with Willow are Psalms 137:2 "We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof." and Isaiah 44:4 "And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.". Her offspring will follow this theme with names associated with beautiful and elegant aspects of creation and reminders to rejoice in God's goodness and to stay true to His ways, no matter the times, living with confidence in the promise of His redemption.
