2018 Kidding Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, doelings and bucklings are $350; wethers are $100 or two for $150. Reservations prior to kidding are taken on a first-come, first-served basis via our contact form, and Took a Leap Farm reserves the right to retain any kid born on the farm. There is no fee for a reservation until kids are born and selected, at which point a non-refundable fee of $100, payable online, is required to hold a kid (or two wethers) until pick-up.

Googoo's second freshening pairs her with Finn, bringing together some of the best dairy genetics on our farm. Breeder to retain one doeling. Kidded 3/18 with 2 bucklings

She's baack -- after taking 2017 off, Koko rejoins us on the milkstand. Excited to see her kids with Waldo, as her daughters to date have been impressive milkers! Kidded on 3/20 with

We loved first-freshener Skittles (and her doeling, Jujube) last year, and we have big expectations for her this year. No bucklings. Kidded 3/21 with 2 bucklings

Buddy has been a terrific brood doe at Took a Leap, and this pairing with Waldo should make for some lovely kids...the more we see of Buddy, the more we like! Kidded on 3/23 with

Looking forward to seeing this daughter of NC PromisedLand BW Echo 2 freshen for a second time....she and her sister, Kajagoogoo, were both off to a great start last year, as first fresheners. Kidded on 3/26 with

Penuchi has become a herd favorite...for her persnickety nature and her ability to pass her lovely dairy character along to her kids. Kidded 3/24 with 2 bucklings

A Penuchi daughter, Patty is making her way to the milkstand for the first time this year. Kidded 4/3 with a single doeling, SOLD -- thank you, Alicia! |

This breeding should bring length to this petite little girl, who freshened for the first time in 2017 with three adorable little boys. Did not settle. |

We're hoping that Shel did his job with this breeding...because we want Trixie back on the stand! Kidded on 4/4 with twin doelings

Love love love Tasha (VEEV 90)...she's the bomb around these parts. Our biggest producer, TT has produced a number of gorgeous kids who share her talent on the milkstand. Breeder to retain one doeling. Did not settle -- so disappointing! |

We love Encore's conformation and productivity -- she's small but mighty! This breeding was a bit of an ooops - Rita is the dam of both Encore and Atcha, and we would not ordinarily breed half-siblings. Must have been double-oops day, as we also got the date wrong! The kids look great, but will be sold as pets. Kidded on 3/22 with

Glad to have Dahlov, a Tasha daughter, back on the stand this year...she was following in her dam's hoofprints in her first freshening, and we missed her heat last year. Kidded on 4/16/18 with a single buckling, SOLD as a wether -- thank you, Sherri! |

ARGH, did not settle. |

Fiala is the resident "brat" -- but we keep her around because she's an amazing milker. This girl has a lovely udder with the biggest, fattest teats in our herd. She's the dam of Took a Leap Fionbharr, our 2016 retained buckling, who has produced some absolutely lovely kids, and we're overjoyed to have two doelings out of this year's breeding to Atcha. Kidded on 4/17 with twin doelings
