Our Does

Mocha is our herd queen! She is definitely the boss around here. She is bold and strong and gets first of everything. She easily kidded triplets in 2022 and came into milk beautifully as a second freshener. She is one of our foundation does and comes from Better Ways Farm where she is the granddaughter of one of the most celebrated does in the herd – SwissMiss Carabear. Mocha has large, easy to milk teats and earned her milk star in 2021 as a first freshener and now has earned her star in all 3 categories (Total Volume, Butterfat, and Protein). We have retained one of her daughters – Rockville Ridge Coffee Queen and are excited to see her freshen in 2023.

Bella is the sweetest goat in the herd. She loves attention and isn’t shy with visitors. She is chocolate and has the nicest udder in the herd – no surprise as she is from the same line as the Better Wayz Carabear line mixed with the Sugar Moon production genetics, which earned that line the top spot for production in the breed. Bella earned her milk star as a first freshener in 2021 as a first freshener and now has earned her star in all 3 categories (Total Volume, Butterfat, and Protein). She kidded triplets without any assistance in 2022. We are retaining Rockville Ridge Bella Rose, as well one of her bucklings, Rockville Ridge Beau.
