Every once and awhile a breeding turns out exactly the way you hope, Quivira is one of those. From a general appearance perspective, Quatchi was exactly what we breed for, likewise her dairy character and body capacity was lovely. She also had a high capacity mammary with impressive extension of fore. Unfortunately, she had a high but narrow rear udder and poor teat placement. We had tried various breedings with her to fix these traits, and normally they did, but we always lost something of Quatchi’s general appearance and style. We thought if any buck could maintain those qualities, while also improving rear width and teat placement, it would be Occult–and gosh dang it, we were right! 

As a kid, Quivira easily picked up a junior championship at the Oregon State Fair and then went on to win Best Junior Doe in Show. As a milking yearling, she has proven herself to be quite competitive with a small, but very well attached mammary on a huge frame. At just over a year old, she is already one of the tallest does in the herd, and we will not be surprised if she gives Ecstasy a run for that title in a year or two. 

2018 was the year of the white Barnowl LaMancha, and Quivira was a constant and consistent representative of our very best from the first show to the last fair. It’s been over a decade since we’ve finished a doe as a 2-year old, but sure enough Quivira came in looking so good in 2018 that she finished up her championship in the first few weekends of the spring club show season. By end of summer, she only looked better having deepened in body and become comfortable with her 12 pound average capacity, and she saw nothing but blues and reds in the 2-year old class during our fair season. She also managed to pull out the highest 2-year old linear appraisal score in our herd’s history. To say the least, there is very little we would change about this doe, even her Roman nose is endearing to us. 

2019 was a good year for Quivira, she continued to mature with a strong jump in production. She glided in the show ring needing very little showing and making it easy for even Mariah with walking pole to show. However, she was noted for being either overgrown or not yet mature. By 2020, her body was catching up with her giant frame and productive udder, but alas no shows, no appraisal, so here’s hoping she looks just as good if not better in 2021.
