Bert is another one of my "on a whim" purchases and why I shouldn't be able to go visit other herds. I had been trying to incorporate herd sires to improve general appearance while maintaining the correct mammary system shape and productivity we have. Specifically, I wanted to improve front legs, feet and front end assembly. While visiting the Beorningswick herd to ultrasound does, Ruth walked out a large Saanen doe. She tracked beautifully on her front legs with tight toes and a smoothly blended front end. When I realized what doe it was, this dam line is consistent for that correct general appearance and very correct mammary systems. His dam Expialidocious had placed well at the 2016 and 2018 National Shows, and her dam Bodacious was the 2016 Recorded Grade Reserve Best Udder and had been a Top Ten doe. Both had these does had best in show wins as well. Her sire Hero is also a paternal brother to the 2016 National Champion and Best Udder, Just-Tina.

The paternal line is also no stranger to our herd. His sire is a son of Sargent, who is the sire of our herd sire Alcatraz and has many National Champions behind him. His dam Hocus Pocus was also the 2010 National Junior Champion and has an excellent appraisal score at 7 years old! We love the combination of structural correctness and strength this line has produced, and are excited to add it to our herd.

We have high hopes for Bert and are excited to see what he does for our herd over the next few years.
