This is Ginger. She was the first goat in my herd to carry the Sliceofalmostheaven herd name. She was a really great goat, just a little too aggressive. When she was 2nd fiddle in the herd, there were no problems, but when she became herd queen, she ruled with an iron hoof! She gave me some great kids, the best being Lois, but her time to move to another herd came. On the new farm, she kidded from breeding on my farm and gave me my second-best kid who was Corvette. Unfortunately, she passed away just after the kids were weaned. I acquired Corvette back from the new farm.
I give you this background information to understand what happened to Ginger. The greatest thing Ginger gave me was her two daughters, Corvette and Lois. These two are the basis of my herd now. Even though Ginger herself was aggressive, she did not pass that on to her offspring. Lois is the herd queen and retired from kidding, and her daughter, Vicki, has picked up the mantle. I also have 2 great-granddaughters of Ginger in my herd and two granddaughters from Corvette.
So as you can see, Slice of Almost Heaven came from just one goat, and a great goat she was.
