| On this page you will see all of the senior does we currently have at Veliraf Farm. These does have many of the traits that I am looking for in a nigerian dwarf doe. I look for a feminine and refined animal with good angulation in the rear legs, and good milk production in the genetics behind them We have started with just a few does, and as we become more familiar with them, I'm sure our herd will grow. | |
| We have recently begun placing udder shots of our girls on our web-site. To view them, simply place your mouse over a particular doe- and the udder shot will appear(as long as I have a shot of that girl!!) | |

I am really not very good at posing these guys
for pictures- but I do my best!! Napa does have a nice topline, and she is very
level when on the move. She is maturing into a beautiful doe. Her
udder is very well attached all around, and is capacious. She could benefit from
larger teats and slightly more correct teat placement (her teats are set near
the outside of her udder and point out just slightly- which would appear to be a
Johnny Jump-Up influence). Napa was bred toCesear's Villa FZ First Rate , for very early 2010
kids. Sadly, she freshened with twin bucks- though for my herd- that seems to be the norm. Though she had an easy delivery- one of the bucks was stillborn. I will be holding onto the
other buckskin boy for a while to see what he turns out like.
Sire-PromisedLand Blue Prince I haven't yet had this girl up on the
milking stand, but what I can see is that she has a nicely shaped
udder, and though she has a wide area of attachment- she does need more rear height. Her fore is smoother than her
mothers, so obviously William helped out in that respect. She also needs tighter shoulders/elbows. Nightengale will be for sale in 2010, after she freshens. She will be
bred to Tuscan or Bootstraps in order to tighten up her front end.
SIRE: SIRE: Galiano's Dante A doe from lines I am not used to using.
This girl could use a better topline- though she is nice and small. She'll be bred to
First Rate, in the hopes that he will correct both general appearance and mammaries. She needs a higher rear udder, tighter attachments, and longer teats.

Spam is quickly becoming one of my
favourite girls here. She has a nicely shaped udder,
with quite good capacity. She is quite easy to milk, having nice orifices, and she is often the doe I choose to keep in milk. Her fore udder is smooth and very
well extended. We have
decided to breed her to Sugar Creek NT Tight Wad as
well this year, to hopefully increase teat size. We'll have to wait a while
longer to see if that will have worked!! She has produced triplets in the
past for us- so we're hoping we might be lucky enough to see them again for
2010, and NOT triplet bucks like in 2007. Heck, I'd be happy with just a single doe!!! Since an extremely difficult kidding in 2008, we have been having trouble getting Spam
settled- we're hoping to breed her to Tight Wad for 2010 kids. A doe will be retained.

This girl is quite an improvement over her
mother......and what an understatment that is!! Finally a doe out of Money
Pit that shows what he was capable of producing! She unfortunately is black and white- my least
favourite colour, but her mammary system is much nicer than her dams!! She has a nicely shaped udder good attachments, nice teat size and
good capacity. I would like her teats to point downwards more, and for her to have more open orifices. A keeper for sure!!! She will be bred to Sugar Creek NT Tight Wad, and will freshen in spring 2010.
. A doe will be retained. We currently have a buckskin buckling available out of Nadia and First Rate available.

Well, finally a doe kid
from Napa. I have been waiting for one of these for literally years. Although her rump could be a little more level-
she really is turning into an elegant well put-together doe.
The mammaries behind her are quite amazing and I've waited a long time to be able to
merge the Napa/Pyrite mammaries together. She has a nicely attached udder, with nice rear height. I would prefer to see more correct teat placement- but she is quite easy to milk, with nice
open orifices. She has a lovely buttery soft udder.
This spring she will be bred to Tuscan to flatten out that rump.
She's also one of our taller does- though not overheight- so Tuscan will help keep size down as well.
I can hardly wait to see what we get from this combination. I'll try to get a picture of her ASAP, but I will
have to wait until she freshens in order to get a nice udder shot, this one was taken in January- so she's obviously roughly clipped.

What a little powerhouse of a doe! Although I was surprised that Pellionia only had a single- I
am quite happy that it was a doe. She's line-bred on Twin Creeks PD MoneyInTheBank.
This doe is TINY! I would be surprised if she's over 18". She freshened for us in 2008- lots of capacity-
I would like to see longer teats-but we'll breed her to bucks to help in that respect. She will be bred to
Caesar's Villa FZ First Rate spring 2010 kids.

Can't remember the last time we had twin does born here.......I thought it would never happen again :)
Both Thorn and her sister
Thistle, will be retained until at least after freshening, I really do need to see what Pugalist is capable of doing.
He seems to put nice general appearanced on his kids. Thorn was hit by another doe 4 weeks before she was due with
her triplets in 2009- and the kids were subsequently lost. We have hopes of having 2010 kids from her with either First Rate or Trooper- but we'll have to wait and
see what happens.

Tiny little girl
out of a set of triplets. She's a light cream colour, really quite pretty. Nice

tons of capacity. Tassel freshened with a nice little udder- though
it could be higher in the rear. She will be bred to
Velvet Acres RB Tuscan Sun to see what he will produce.

I have a feeling that this
girl is going to be special. She did freshen as a yearling and even produced a
doe kid who is NOT black/chocolate and white!! Amazing. Thyme has an udder that is
very similar to her mother's, nicely shaped, fairly good capacity, good medial.
She has even better orifices, and is super on the milk stand.
We'll have to see how it is with subsequent freshenings- but I think she'll be a
keeper. She has been bred to
Velvet Acres RB Tuscan Sun for her 2009
Freshening- we can't wait to see what comes of this. Tuscan has been producing
some very stylish kids.
