Trixie | Mini Nubian Doe

This doeling may be giraffe polled, but it was difficult to tell for sure, so we chose to disbud her to be safe.

Trixie comes from a very milk-driven pairing. Her dam, Candy, is a productive and correct doe with a nicely attached udder, smooth shoulder assembly, and a brisket we really appreciate. Candy took a few years to reach full capacity, but she earned her milk star here as a 3F, and her foreudder has continued to improve and extend as a 4F.

Candy is a dream to milk and easily produced enough colostrum to feed her own trio as well as Honey’s trio, which speaks volumes about both capacity and usability. Those traits were a major reason we retained this daughter.

Trixie’s sire, Hot Shot, brings heavy milk genetics. His dam was a TMGR All-Time Top 5 milker, and his paternal grandsire is the well-known SG Old Mountain Farm Elton Jay ++*B, a multi-year ADGA 99th Percentile Elite Buck whose dam holds the highest PTA and PTI for the breed. We paired Hot Shot with Candy hoping to reinforce production while maintaining structural correctness.

Structurally, Trixie reads as a refined, dairy doeling with clean lines and good overall balance. She is not a width or capacity builder and will require intentional pairings as she matures to avoid compounding narrowness, but she shows correctness through her frame, a level topline for age, and a tall, open escutcheon indicating strong future udder potential. Her thurls seem to be low, but we will see how she continues to develop.
