With intense sorrow, I must share that we lost Fancy C.C. and her doe kid on April 8, 2020 due to complications with kidding, despite watching her day and night and a C-section. Cause was not able to be determined by UC Davis, but no infectious etiologies were identified and some serious diseases were ruled out, so that was a plus. C.C. was not only my herd queen, and my best doe, she was my heart favorite and my buddy. Her loss has left a huge hole in my heart, as well as my herd, in so many ways. I now cherish her successes from 2019 all the more…

When she was born back in 2014, I never could have imagined that Emmy would turn out to be a stand out total performer! Not only is she the sweetest, most compliant goat I have ever had, but she has excelled at everything she has done; winning her way to become a permanent Champion early on, earning her Superior Genetics once she got a chance to be on milk test, scoring VEEE 90 at 7 years of age, and as an 8 year old, with no special treatment or supplements, milking 1187 lb with 93 lb of butterfat and 48 lb of protein in 2022, in addition to being a wonderful producer of quality doe kids all through the years!

I was fortunate enough to buy Tiffany in April 2019. She moved in and fit into my herd like she had lived here all her life. She is a pleasure to have around, in every way.
At her first show with me, she went Reserve Champion to a finished Champion. At her next show, she went Champion. She then went Reserve Champion again at our last show of the year. I was really looking forward to showing her in 2020 in hopes that she would be able to finish her championship, but all our shows were cancelled for the year and half way through 2021. At a show in Sept 2021, Tiffany again won her class and went on to be named Champion to become a permanent champion (pending ADGA processing and updating records) but then, to my amazement, Tiffany was chosen Best Doe in Show! On top of that, despite traveling to shows and being 7 years old in 2021, she milked 1154 lb with 60 lb of fat and 49 lb of protein in 305 on test. I have only shown her a couple times since then but she did well each time, winning Reserve Champion both times, and being awarded Best Udder at her only show in 2022. This doe does it all and she is truly a pleasure to have around too!
Being on milk test has been wonderful, surprising and very helpful. I wish I had been able to start my herd on milk test years earlier than I was able to. That being said, the black and white data on milk test records do not tell the whole story and Tiffany is a case in point. People will look at her numbers from 2021 and maybe give her a nod, but then look down on the significant drop in her numbers from 2022. What is not reflected in those numbers for 2022 is the fact that she only had a single and was not being fed grain! Yes, I gave her a dribble of grain for jumping up on the milking stanchion twice a day, but other than that token reward, she was not fed grain last year. In my opinion, her production of 832 lb of milk with 49 lb of butter fat and 36 lb of protein is quite commendable for an 8 year old doe being fed only alfalfa with some grass hay. I think she qualifies as a Nigerian Dwarf Dairy doe.

Firebird is a meek, quiet doe who is steady and reliable. Even though I welcomed her into this world when she was born and have been her constant caregiver ever since, she decided early on that my husband, Jim, is her chosen human. She just loves him and seeks him out every chance she gets. She did well in the show ring as a kid but after that she decided that shows were not her favorite place to be, so I rarely show her anymore.

I saw potential in Dale when she was a kid, but she did not make my show string that year, so I only took her to a show at the end of the season, where she was 3rd under one judge and 5th under the other. In 2019, she was a young dry yearling and again, she was not one I chose to be part of my show string, while herd mates got to go shine at the ADGA National Show. I liked how she was maturing later in the year as a dry yearling so I decided to show her at the end of the 2019 show season under 2 judges and was pleased when one judge placed her first in her class, then shocked when she was chosen Best in Show Jr!
Dale freshened with a very nice udder and was maturing beautifully, so it was extra disappointing when all our 2020 shows and the first half of the 2021 shows were cancelled. She excelled as a first freshener at home though, milking 934 lb with 61 lb of fat and 40 lb of protein in the 305 days for her first lactation.
She did not get to make her show ring debut as a milker until later in 2021, as a 2nd freshening 3 year old. How encouraging it was when she was Res Champion under one judge in the top notch competition at the REDGA show! Then in quick order, she won Champion at the next couple shows, and to top it off in grand style, she was awarded Best in Show at the last show of the season!

Tribute is an interesting doe to show. She and her twin sister often traded off beating each other in the show ring as kids. Tribute did well the many times she was shown as a kid in 2019, but of course the most exciting was when she made the cut in the huge class and placed Top Ten at the 2019 ADGA National Show (with her twin sister placing 12th and our other Sonview Ranch doe kid placing 15th in that class.) Things got even more interesting when she hit the show ring as a milker. Under 12 judges in the last 2 years of being shown as a milker, she was either at the top of her class or way down the line. Judges either really like her or they don’t. She has won multiple huge classes in Amazing competition and then in the next ring she has placed 8th or 9th…Personally, I really like her, as long as I don’t let her get overconditioned, as she has many really good qualities.

Jr Champion 1x
Res Jr Champion 1x
Treasure is a character, full of life and personality. She had an intriguing show season as a kid. At their first show, which was a major show, her twin sister, Sonview Ranch Tribute beat her and went on to win Res Champion Jr under one judge. Under a different judge at that same show, Treasure was placed ahead of her sister and this was repeated under the next judge, but under the 4th judge at that show, Treasure not only beat her sister to win the class, but was then named Res Champion Jr herself.
At their next show, Treasure was 2nd, behind a different herdmate who went on to be named Res Champion Jr, with Tribute placing 3rd behind them, but under the next judge at that show, Tribute not only won the class but was awarded Champion Jr.
To top off her junior show career, Treasure was 12th place in the large intermediate kid class at the 2019 ADGA National Show, with her twin sister, Tribute placing 10th and her herdmate, Lena, placing 14th!
I am pleased with Treasure as a milking doe but unfortunately for her, herd mates her age are more “showy” than she is, so she has not gotten to go to the shows.
I will say that I am proud of Treasure’s 2022 lactation. Some may seriously question how I can say that when she milked less than last year and her numbers are not at all impressive on paper? In 2022, she produced 744 lb with 53 lb butterfat and 38 lb protein in 305 days in her 3rd lactation, so why would I be proud of that? Well, because the numbers do not always tell the whole story. The part I am proud of is that despite the fact that she only had a single kid, was on a diet to loose the “baby fat” and she was not being fed grain, she still produced 744 lb with 53 lb butterfat and 38 lb protein in 305 days. Not being fed grain can be a deal breaker in milk production but she did not let that stop her from being the dairy doe that she is.

It has been worth the wait to see this doe come into her own. As a 3 year old in 2022, she finally started to show off the good qualities she inherited from both her sire and her dam. I had high hopes in 2018 when I chose to breed my outstanding GCH Sonview Ranch Fancy C.C. to Twincreeks RM Watermark. Little did I know that those kids would be the last I would get from my Fancy C.C., making Lainey the last daughter and the only daughter I have from C.C.
Lainey did well all the way around last year, placing in the top of her classes under many judges, including winning big classes at 2 different shows with intense competition, and despite a busy show season full of travel, she continued to milk well, producing 980 lb of milk.

Lamia is a very dairy doe. As a first freshening 2 year old in 2021, she scored 32 in dairyness, 31 in rump angle, 32 in rear udder height, 35 in medial suspensory ligament, 29 in teat placement and 35 in teat length. Her udder has many of the qualities that I have been working to improve in my herd. In limited showing as a kid, she was unbeaten. As a milker, she has held her own in the show ring despite the amazing competition here in California, placing in the top 5 more than half the time and even winning her class at one show. Slow to mature, she is looking better each year now.

Being born in 2020, meant that Martina did not get to step into the show ring as a kid. Starting her show career as a yearling milker when a few shows started back up later in 2021, went great as she won her class 3 times and was 2nd place once in the 4 times she was shown. With her bold and outgoing personality, she enjoys getting out and showing.
In 2022, the shows were back in full swing and Martina was ready. Martina was our star standout in 2022 even though she was only a 2 year old! Under 12 judges, she won her class 6 times and was never lower than 4th under any judge. She came oh-so-close to finishing her championship, winning Champion 2x and Res Champion 2x in stiff competiton that makes it exciting to think of getting to show her at the 2023 ADGA National Show.

At her very first show ever, Mayla was Champion Jr Nigerian Dwarf in outstanding competition (9/5/21.) (Award ribbons were not available at the show so we could not take a win photo that day.) As a first freshening 2 year old in 2022, going to shows was a challenge to her. It took several shows for her to settle in and feel comfortable. She placed in the top 5 under every judge but was always in the shadow of herd mate, Sonview Ranch Martina, who was our standout star that year and usually Sonview Ranch Mitzy stood ahead of her in the classes too. It is going to be exciting to watch Mayla fill out and see her udder improve with more freshenings.

To be blunt, Mitzy got to stay in my herd as a kid because of her udder potential. She was a first freshening 2 year old in 2022 and traveling to her first show as a milker was not her cup of tea. Although she did not fill her udder, it was exciting when she was placed 3rd out of 27 under both judges in stellar competition. She was even placed ahead of her herd mate, Sonview Ranch Martina. I hope she enjoyed standing in front of Martina because in the rest of the shows she was behind her, in fact at 4 of the following shows, Martina won the class and Mitzy was 2nd right behind her. Can’t complain about that! I am really looking forward to seeing Mitzy’s 2nd freshening udder this year!

Nazira had a good show season as a junior kid. As a yearling milker in 2022, she was 21 days fresh at her first show so it was a good practice run for her with her placing in the middle of large classes amidst excellent competition. She finished her show season by winning her class at the next 2 shows. I see a lot of promise in this young doe and look forward to getting to watch her mature.

In 2022, Blessing was a yearling milker and I was pleasantly surprised when she was top 3 at every show, going 2nd only to Sonview Ranch Nazira at 3 of those shows. I expect she will keep improving with more freshenings and I look forward to that.

Sonview Ranch Nessa
Date of birth: 3/24/2021
Sire: Alethia DOH Cosmic Wonder
( GCH Algedi Farm DJ Drops of Honey +*B x Alethia HB Interstellar)
Dam: SGCH Sonview Ranch Emmy 2*M VEEE 90 (7-01))
( SG Castle Rock Bentley +*B x The Sonview Ranch Carmen 1*M)
Nessa and her twin sister, Neevia, are like two peas in a pod. Thanks to their sire, Alethia DOH Cosmic Wonder, they are both an improvement over their dam, Sonview Ranch Emmy VEEE 90 and like Emmy, they are calm, quiet and so sweet. As kids in the show ring, they placed right next to each other, almost always in the top 3, and although Neevia was usually right ahead of Nessa, Nessa did beat her sister at one show.
Shown in 2022, as a yearling milker, Nessa was 3rd at both shows, only behind her herd mates Sonview Ranch Nazira and Sonview Ranch Extra Blessing both times. Nessa is spending 2023 with Ten 4 Ranch where we hope she will gift them a doe kid to add to their show string.
