Summer 2012 update:

Marlyn is 7 years old already!  But she is still regal and beautiful and milking well.  She gave us a lovely daughter this year that we are keeping.

Summer 2011 update:

Marlyn just gets better with age!  She is a wonderfully productive doe and gorgeous to look at.  Marlyn got her final LA score - 91EEEE.  That's a nice score for a very lovely doe.

Summer 2010 update:

Marlyn continues to be a productive, attractive addition to the ranch.  She has matured very nicely and has blended her showy looks with our ranch work ethic.  A great combination.

Summer 2009 update:

Marlyn has certainly shown us that she is not just another pretty show goat.  She kicked off the year by kidding with quadruplets, is making lots of milk for our cheese dairy, and has now earned a score of Excellent on her Linear Appraisal.  And let's face it - she just looks great out there on the range!

Summer 2008 update:

We are thrilled to have Marlyn come to stay with us.  She is from Jacob's Pride in Tucson, AZ where she was on Debbie's show string.  Now she's going to strut her stuff here at the ranch and we are really looking forward to it.

Marlyn has her Superior Genetics title and is the mother of an ADGA Spotlight Sales buckling.  She is also the full sister to Bridget Bardoe, the high selling 2004 Spotlight doe ($4700) who went Jr. Grand Champion at the ADGA National Show the following year.  Marlyn has been awarded the title of Reserve Grand Champion four times.
