Rise & Shine is a pretty cool doe.  She looks a ton like her famous sister, SGCH Blissberry Rain Or Shine 7*M EX93 (the 2019 ADGA National Show BEST NUBIAN UDDER), but isn't quite as big.  She does have nearly the identical mammary system, however!  

Rise & Shine sat out the show season as a kid but as a Senior Yearling she handedly earned her dry leg.  This season, as a first freshening 2 Year-Old, Rise & Shine finished her championship... just like her older sis did in 2018!

We love this doe, we love this damline and we love her sire... we can't wait to see what the future holds for her!

Shut Up is the final live born Tolkien and the last Vallerina daughter and they just may have saved one of the best for last!  We love her elegance and style.  She was an immature yet correct first freshener and we knew she would be a special one with another freshening... and special she is!

We had an abbreviated show season in 2021 but the two shows Shut Up went to proved how fancy she really is!  She was GCH, BOB and BEST IN SHOW over 300 milkers in early June earning another leg towards her championship.  Her next show out was the 2021 ADGA National Show in Louisville, KY and she was the 1st place/1st Udder Three Year-Old!  We couldn't be happier with her performance but then she returned home to Minnesota and scored an impressive EX92 EEEE at our Linear Appraisal session...what a good girl!

Shut Up is the dam of our 2021 ADGA Spotlight Sale consignment... Blissberry KO Chippendale!  Chip is such a special buck and we were thrilled when Thomas Coletti, DVM & Marcy Hammerle, DVM of A Place To Grow Farm in MO had the winning bid.  We couldn't have asked for a better home and herd for him to go to.  Thank you both for your faith and confidence in him... we hope he does great things for you!

Spicy!  She sure had a glow up this year!  She was a really correct yearling milker but in typical Blissberry fashion... they look like immature babies.  That's our preference as those does have the longevity we require and still show quite well as aged does.  Spicy is showing us just how that's done!

I do really love this balanced doe.  One of Spicy's strongest attributes is her incredible mammary system.  It's got a beautiful high and wide arch with lovely teat size and shape and a smoothly blended, well extended fore udder.  She long and level over the top, has a correct front end assembly that goes into her long, pretty neck.  Spicy also has such a nice personality.  She's sweet and affectionate but also very businesslike when it comes to milking... just like we like them! 

There is so much to love about Spicy and I can't wait to see what her future holds!
