Onaqui FC Hoot Owl

I LOVE Hootie. My husband and I drove all the way to Utah to pick him up, and I have some pretty fond memories of that trip, but mostly I remember how in love I fell with this little sweetheart! He is still my little buddy and follows me around like a dog. This photo is not the best photo (he is leaning his legs forward, my clip job was terrible), but it’s so easy to see that he is the bomb. *Note: he didn’t show much interest in the ladies in 2022, but I will be using him extensively in our 2023 breeding season.

DAM’S GENETICS: Creamery Creek BB Wood Owl scored EEEE91 as a second freshener and milked 550 pounds in 161 days, with a projected mature evaluation yield of 1270 pounds on a 305 day lactation. Granddam Creamery Creek BZ Spotted Owl milked 1030 and then 1150 pounds on her 3rd and 4th 305 day lactations. There are many generations of solid milk production and strong rumps in these lines.

SIRE’S GENETICS: Old Mountain Farm Fat Chance is a son of Old Mountain Farm Fat Tuesday 3*M EEEE91. Tuesday recently scored EEEE91 on linear appraisal and is the littermate of the 2017 ADGA National Champion. That makes her auntie to my soul goat, Ginette (Oak Apple Ginette, daughter of Old Mountain Farm Anahid).

I splurged on this boy because both sides of his pedigree have E rumps. My hope is that Hootie is able to improve both production and show qualities. He is the trifecta: 1) temperament, 2) structure, and 3) milk!
