Foundation Does
At Harvest Moon we do not chase "Flavors of the Week" if you will. When we decide to add a doe (or buck) to our breeding program it isn't without hours and hours of studying pedigrees, lactation records and show results. Every doe here represents part of our program we were wanting to strengthen and we do our best to ensure we make their breeders proud. All animals found here do not carry our herd name but they are the cornerstone foundation to our breeding program and deserve a showcase of their own. Listed oldest to youngest and eventually will have their own individual page.

Satin was a few years old when she came to us. She didn’t have ideal management in those growing years and is a fairly small girl though still within the breed standard. Where she lacks in size she makes up for in rear width and has a really nice mammary system. Unfortunately she’s just had a rough life. Survived a donkey attack during her 2021 pregnancy and is showing symptoms of having simple squamous carcinoma or has a photosensitive reaction to plants grazed during the summer months. She wasn’t handled as a kid and we still have some trust issues so she’s not a big fan of the milk stand. We know what she has to offer without pushing her too much. Hoping to get another daughter to retain before we let her retire to live out her days loving on her babies.

Tulip is one of the most important does here and if truth be told she's taught us the most about how patience is a virtue and the importance of the performance programs. We have learned a great deal about lactations, management and structural traits with this doe and by participating in DHI & LA.

“Moana”
DOB: 2-11-2019
Moana is the first official doe that started a new line for Makenzie. She is youth owned and despises the show ring which is why she hasn't been out there. We sold too many kids, lost a yearling daughter unexpectactely, then she had a litter of bucks. Hopefully we're on the right path now to retaining some daughters.

Better Wayz Hop-a-Long 5*M ELITE
“Hop-a-long”
DOB: 3-29-2020
Hop-a-long is one of my heart goats. She needed some extra attention when we brought her to the herd in 2022 after being such a heavy producer as a first freshener and she's taught me patience. Good things are worth waiting for. In 2024 she blessed us with not one but two EXCEPTIONAL daughters sired by Southern Grace Jukebox *B and they are BOTH staying in the herd. Hop-a-long has one of the best overall mammary systems in the herd and she milks down to nothing every time with the will to milk day in and day out regardlessof heat or stage in lactation. We're happy to report that this last year she hasn't needed any additional supplements to keep her in great condition either, she gets fed the same as the rest of the herd and is now thriving as a four year old.
We have talked to a few with much more experience and have come to the conclusion that Hop-a-long likely milked so heavy as a young growing doe that it was hard on her structurally as it depleted her calcium stores. This is why we gave her extra time to regain condition before breeding. She'll never be a show doe and she will also probably never leave Harvest Moon. Her LA scores show this, as a yearling she was VEVE 87 and as a 3 year old she scored an AEVE 85. So far her daughters appear to have very strong feet and pasterns.
