Karma puts it in the milk pail! She topped all first fresheners and even some aged does on her first lactation and easily earned her milk star. She is our first 2* milker.

Karma earned the American LaMancha Breeder's Association Silver earring award for 2500-2999# Milk as well as the ALBA Copper earring award for first fresheners 2 years old or less, who produce over 2000# of milk.

Like her dam, Kismet, Karma has continued to improve with age, not only with milk production but also her General Appearance.

Karma is such a consistent and reliable girl on the milk stand. Her udder is smooth, milks down completely and fast, and she is very easy to milk despite having a wide teat placement. If ever the world falls apart and we have to live off only one doe or starve, Karma is the doe that stays. Like her dam, Kismet, Karma will milk robustly year round, does not need to get bred to keep production up, and has never had issues with mastitis. In 2020 Karma gave us a lovely daughter out of Kryptonite.

Karma gave us another beautiful doe in 2021,  Fortuna Major (2X RGCH Jr. Doe) and then topped our all-time milk production peaking at 19.9 pounds in the summer of 2021. We were very happy and even surprised when this doe was GCH at 2 shows this year. It's so sweet when a highly productive doe on the milk stand can get recognized in the show ring as well.

Karma did develop moderate mastitis on one side of her udder after our last show at Nebraska State Fair where she was 2X 2nd behind the Grand Champion. Her udder may or may not come back so we are unsure if she can be shown again or will have the chance to finish and get her 3rd championship leg. She will be 6 in 2022 and has given us all we have asked from her, primarily daughters who will hopefully continue her legacy of high milk production.

Karma's mastitis did not get better in 2022, even so she appraised at a very respectable 91. She was able to get a Reserve championship at one small show but unfortunately her show days are over.

Karma currently has one daughter, Hallie, in our herd. Hallie has the number one best rear udder we have seen on a first freshener and she traded 1st and 2nd places with herdmate Bricksie at every single show in 2023. We were heartbroken when we lost Karma's daughter Fortuna major after kidding this year. Fortuna had a retained placenta followed by milk fever. Fortuna also had an udder equal to Hallie's. We will be breeding Karma back to Juke Box (Fortuna's sire) for March/April kids.
