Freedom Ridge Tucker
Tucker
Barn Name:
Tucker was accidentally bred at Freedom Ridge Nubians during a jail break by his sire, VCH Mistwood LJJ Jacob's Java. I believe our Tucker and **IvyRidge Smooth Operator Orion are full brothers. Orion is the sire of our herd sire Bandit. Orion and Tucker are paternal half brothers to Oreo's granddam, **IvyRidge Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Tucker himself is a gentle and easy-going guy. Even in full rut he's easy to handle and gentle. However, he does take after his sire, Java, as he "decided" for us in 2022 who he wanted to breed. We're SO glad he did! He produced some incredible kids from Selah, CFFTX FRT Levi, who is working as a herdsire at Sharp Goat Ranch, and CFFTX FRT Selah's Delaney!
At 3 1/2 years old, Tucker stood 28" at the withers. Both of Tucker's coat patterns are visible because they are considered co-dominant. He is a light cream cou clair and Swiss combo with random white. Almost all of his kids have had a similar white patch on one of their hooves to match the white patch on his!
Pedigree
Sire:
VCH Mistwood LJJ Jacob's Java
VCH Mistwood LJJ Jacobs Java is an exquisite goat. You can view his appraisal records with ADGA here. He's won multiple championships both through ADGA as well as through MDGA. His Grand Champion win in the Summer 2019 MDGA Vshow can be found here, and his Grand Champion win in the Summer 2020 MDGA Vshow can be found here. Java has contributed so much to the mini nubian breed with his stellar genetics.
Dam:
Brighthaven Onyx
Onyx is a beautiful full Nubian doe. She is a very light, almost white Swiss patterened doe, which is where Tucker gets his light tan shades from along with his Swiss pattern. She has a beautiful udder with strong medial, solid attachments, and straight, well-positioned teats. For more on her lineage and appraisal history, you can check out her page on ADGA genetics here.
