"Quil"
Soaring Hearts Quil Ateara V *B (MDGA) *S (TMGR) Dual Registered MDGA and TMGR F1 Experimental DOB 4/6/19 Quil comes to us from Snohomish Washington. His erstwhile owner connected with me at the Oregon State fair in 2019 after looking at my goats. She said she had just the buckling for us. Quil is 37.5% Nubian and 62.5% Nigerian. His kids have ranged in size from 3.5lbs to 6lbs. Now all our larger does have been retired and Quil has moved on to bless another herd. Quil won reserve champion senior buck at the PNWMDG Show in 2021, unfortunately, there were not enough bucks entered to sanction the show, but we are still proud of him. He has placed in the top half consistently in the v-shows we have entered him in. He has really matured into a good looking buck! Quil inherits a milk star from both his sire and dam, so he is a *B buck. He has several junior daughters in production/testing homes and one that has already earned her star, so I expect that he will eventually earn his +B as well. We freshened his first daughter last year and I am absolutely thrilled with what he brought to the table with her! Improved udder attachments, improved topline, and improved front end assembly, plus he has brought down size in all his offspring. His daughter won first in her class at the MDGA/TMGR show at the Oregon State Fair this year and best udder in class and the Judge had very nice things to say about her. She also won 2nd and third in her class in the fall MDGA v-show and best udder in her class under one of the judges. Quil's half sister, Happy, has taken champion, Best udder in show at the Oregon State Fair in 2021 and 2022, and Supreme Miniature Dairy Doe in 2021. She is now a finished champion through TMGR. You can read all about Happy here. Although Quil's ears are not to standard, his offspring all have better ears than he does. Quil has improved toplines on the majority of the kids he has thrown. He is a very easy to handle buck with wonderful manners and is gentle on the does. |

Quil and Embry's Dam: Soaring Hearts Esme *P
According to Esme's owner, Esme milks like turning on a faucet and her udder is buttery soft. She produces over 10lb of milk a day, and has had easy pregnancies and labors. She has great rear udder height, a nice medial, and carries all that milk beautifully. I also got to meet her when picking up these guys, and she is just as pretty in real life with an elegant carriage, and very dairy skin.

Quil's Sire, HIGHLAND RANCH 8SR IT'S PAYDAY *B
is an ADGA purebred Nigerian who came from Highland Ranch in Snohomish Washington. He was chosen to breed to Esme to improve foreudder extension and bring down size.
