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!!)

 


Gay-Mor's LS Napa Valley
D.O.B February 20, 2000
HES-Not Yet
Height - 19.75"
Colour - Buckskin with some white

Sire-Gay-Mor's JJU Larksong *S
(Gay-Mor Berry's Johnny Jump-up +*S x ARMCH Unicorn Farm Parnell's Panda *D)
Dam- Hayseed Farm's BW Madeira
(Hayseed Farm's Buckwheat SH x Hayseed Farm's KK Dribbles)

  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 will be bred to Cesear's Villa FZ First Rate , for spring 2008 kids.  All does will be retained, and possibly a buck.


Veliraf Gig's Spam'n'Eggs 
D.O.B- March 7, 2003
HES - NA
Height - 19.5"
Broken Buckskin w/white
Sire-PromisedLand Gigolo 
( Green Gate Golddigger X PromisedLand Toontses   )
Dam- Happy Tailz Strawberry Kiwi
(Piddlin Acres Murphys Law X Ponders End Berry Royale ) 

Spam is quickly becoming one of my favourite girls here.   She has a lovely shaped udder, with quite good capacity. I would like to see longer/larger teats- but they are correctly placed. She is quite easy to milk, having nice orifices, and she is often the doe I choose to keep in milk. 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 inthe past for us- so we're hoping we might be lucky enough to see them again for 2008, and NOT triplet bucks like in 2007. Heck, I'd be happy with just a single doe!!!  A doe will be retained.


Veliraf Wil's Nightengale 
D.O.B June 23, 2003

Height - 18"
Colour - Buckskin with some white

Sire-PromisedLand Blue Prince

Dam- Gay-Mor's LR Ninth Concerto 
(Piddlin Acres Lies and Rumours X Twin Creeks A lilting Lullaby)

   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, which looks to be quite well attached. Her fore is smoother than her mothers, so obviously William helped out in that respect. In order to tighten up attachments even furthur, Nightengale has been bred to Cesear's Villa FZ First Rate for spring 2008 kids. A doe will be retained, as we have nothing out of this doe yet. We will also be taking a new picture of this doe come spring.

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 wonderful!! She has a nicely shaped udder good attachments, nice teat size and good capacity. I would like her teats to point downwards more- but to me that is minor. A keeper for sure!!! She will be bred to Sugar Creek NT Tight Wad . A doe will be retained.

DAM: Veliraf's Blue Phlox

  This little girl came out ready to rule to world.   Her mom decided to have her dried off and ready to greet me, when I made one of my frequent barn checks!!   This little doe is really turning into a nice animal, I'm pretty sure she'll be a keeper!!!   She had been bred to Velvet Acres RB Tuscan Sun.   She has nice orifices, a nice smooth fore, and a nice rear udder.   I would maybe like to see more capacity, but I think that will come with time.   Lovely to milk- I can milk her out in about 2 minutes.

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 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. This year she has been bred to
 Tight Wad 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.
