ELITE DOE 2023!!
Cinder is one of three does we bought in the spring of 2022 from Camelot Cattle Company. Cinder was selected due to her pedigree, and bieng a son of Camelot Cattler Co Oliver Wood. Oliver is a full brother to SG Camelot Cattle Co Mischief, who is a doe we have long admired both for her conformation and her production. In 2022, Oliver appraised excellent in dairy strength, body, front legs, rear legs and back with a final score of V89 (VEE). By combining Oliver with Cinder’s dam, Camelot Cattle Co Ember (+*B GCH Sweet-Spring Calvin Klein x Camelot Cattle Co Fawkes), we expected great things.
Cinder made the ELITE doe list as a yearling, hitting the 95th percentile in 2023. This is no surprise, as she has a strong milking pedigree. Her sire’s sister, Camelot Cattle Co Mischief, has four lactations over 3500lbs volume. Her dam’s dam, Camelot Cattle Co Fawkes produced over 1900 lbs as first freshener and all subsequent lactations have been over 3000lbs. Cinder peaked at over 10lbs per day in her yearling lactation, and met her star requirements in all three categories at under 200 days in milk. We are so excited to see what this little colorful doe does in the future and look forward to many years and many daughters from her.
Cinder is very strong with good body capacity for her young age. Her body maintains nice width throughout and we hope to see some dairyness come with maturity. Her rump is is wide and level and she maintains that width down through her hocks, scoring very good on rear legs in her 2023 linear appraisal, a a yearling. Her udder is well attached with nice shaped teats of good placement on well defined halves with a strong medial. We appreciate her rear udder height, but do hope to see improvement in foreudder blending in her offspring. Overall, we’re very pleased with Cinder and are looking forward to seeing her progeny in our herd.
DHI Records
Cinder met her star requirements in all three categories in under 200 days in milk in her yearling lactation. While there are milk stars further back in her pedigree, her dam, Camelot Cattle Co Ember, did not have the opportunity to earn her, so Cinder gets to start back at one.

Udder Photos
We’re (admittedly) not the most skilled at clipping and photographing udders. Please accept our apologies for the lack of skill in these areas, and know that we provide you with the best we’re capable of giving. If at any time you want current udder photos of a doe, just contact us.
Udder- 12 hr fill, July 2023
~100 DIM, 1st Freshening
Her udderis a wonderful shape and we love its texture. We’re always as pleased with what she looks like empty as with what she looks like full. We’re excited to see what maturity does for her mammary!
Kidding Journal @ Bluestem Acres
2023- Cinder kidded buck/doe twins easily three days after her due date in April of 2023, sired by Over the Moon KUL Apollo. We were quite tired of waiting around on her! Kids were 7.6lbs and 8.2lbs… I think she overcooked them a bit. Cinder had no issues kidding, and waited until I was gone suit shopping with my husband before she went into labor. Huge thanks are due to Heather Eby for rushing over to catch kids! We’d been watching her for days, and I couldn’t put the trip off any longer, so we left her in the kidding stall where she couldn’t hide from the camera. I milked out a little colostrum from her before leaving the house at about 9:30am. We expected to be home by 1:00pm, but encountered some delays, and about 1:00pm I saw the beginnings of labor. At 1:45pm she began to push, and I quickly messaged Heather to see if she’d run up to our house... she didn’t quite make it in time to catch them, but Heather was there to dry them off and brought them in the house to get them their first bottle of colostrum. Both kids had Cinder’s wild spots and were very vigorous. Cinder’s buckling was named Kansas Bluestem SunkissedCrios and now resides with the Walkers near Kingman, KS. Cinder’s doeling was named Kansas Bluestem Sunkissed Clio and headed to a repeat customer in SE Kansas. After seeing how Cinder milked through her yearling lactation that might be the last Cinder doeling we ever sell. Cinder peaked at 10.2 pounds of milk and held a volume of about a gallon a day throughout her whole lactation. We are really really excited to see her as a second freshener in 2024.
