We retained Brandy from a Moonshine kidding in 2015. Brandy has by far proven to be one of the strongest does in our herd. She stands very correct and shows lots of dairy character, especially depth of body. Her rump and brisket are something to talk about! Her udder shows larger capacity compared to her dam. Her teats are on the larger side for a Nigerian and are easily milkable. She kidded out with buck/doe twins in 2018, 2021 with quads, three does and a buck, then in 2022 with twin does. This doe knows her job now and does it well, wanting to be milked and is a pleasure on the stand both personality wise and with ease of milking. She is starting to be more like her grandmother as she ages, which makes me really happy. Brandy is a "lifer" here on the farm and we love her so much!​

After short cycling three times in the fall of 2022, Brandy scanned as open and we decided to retire her early instead of trying to breed her again since she will be 8 years old this spring. I am disappointed and sad, but know that this was likely planned timing from whatever forces exist above! She has given me several wonderful kids, mostly all does, and had a great span as a performing dairy animal. She was my first home grown that I was able to show, do LA with, and milk test. I am grateful for what she has given me and know she deserves the best retirement.
