Behind the Name

Fish’s ADGA Genetics Page

“Fish” was definitely the star and crowd favorite of our 2010 show string.  She’s a big goat with a big black fish spot and a big personality…she is simply impossible to miss!  And this year, she was quite possibly the hottest doe we’ve ever shown—catching every judge’s eye, winning 10 Best of Breeds and 8 Best in Shows.  Fish is one of our largest and longest does, being just a smidge shorter at the withers but slightly wider than Elena.  While not quite as dairy as our other Tach daughters, she does balance strength, grace, and sharpness quite nicely while walking on very strong feet and legs.  Further she has a well-attached mammary system with a very nice fore udder.  And big news Fish became the proud mom of our first set of quads in February 2011.  Aurelia, the daughter we kept, was junior Champion and Best Junior Doe in Show at the 2011 Oregon State Fair.

Progeny include:
