2021: When we purchased Karma in late fall 2020, she was already bred to Jacob's Pride No Mistake Maid4U (now owned by Jennifer Wilson, Zao Life Farms, Inman, KS). Karma surprised us with triplets, despite never showing much of a belly. She kidded easily 2B, 1D- four days early on the coldest day we've ever seen in Kansas. The high temperature was 1 degree Farenheit! I had been sitting with her in the quarantine hut all day long. She was anxious but wasn't having noticeable contractions, despite streaming goo. I decided a 15 minute lunch break was ok, and returned to find three kids in the shavings. Due to the temperatures, I immediately brought them inside to dry them off! We retained one buck, and the doeling, Sweet B's Calamity Jane. The buckling, Sweet-B's Karma's Confusion 4U, was a big growthy boy, who looks like he will have great stature, but tested as a G6S Carrier, so we moved him on to another herd as a yearling. Jane's personality was sweeter than her momma and she freshened beautifully, but we had to make some hard cuts after our 2022 LA session, and Jane was below the bar. Karma qualified for her AR* in all three categories during her 2021 lactation and milked well until the beginning of January when we dried her off for pre-kidding recovery. We look forward to retaining more Karma daughters in the future, and maybe one of them will surpass Karma in quality and production.

2022: Karma was confirmed bred to Cream O' The Crop P-NutBrittle, with a due date of March 6, 2022 using ultrasound imagery that showed triplets! We are so thankful for good friends willing to share equipment with us. She kidded March 1, 2022 with two bucks and a doe. The doe is now happy in Nebraska, since she tested as a G6S Carrier. She's a flashy little thing, black with tan trim, covered in spots and has a wide white belt. One buck kid, Kansas Bluestem Pandemonium, headed to the Tulsa, OK area as a new herdsire. The other buck kid sold as grade.
