🐐 About Sue

Sue is a beautiful polled doe who combines strong conformation with a gentle and affectionate personality, making her a favorite in the herd. She stands out with her striking, darker bezoar coat accented by black roaning and solid ears—a rare and eye-catching combination in our program. Her udder is truly impressive, exhibiting excellent attachment, a promising shape, and a smooth foreudder. As she continues to mature, we’re excited to see her gain even more capacity and balance with future freshenings.

With her unique coloring, correct structure, and lovely temperament, Sue is a valuable asset to our breeding program and one to watch both in the show ring and on the milk stand. She has already proven herself by earning her title as a Finished Champion in May 2025—a testament to her correctness, elegance, and undeniable presence in the ring.

🍂 Name Origin

Prairie Flameleaf Sumac is a small, thicket-forming deciduous tree typically reaching 20 feet. It produces white summer flowers followed by red fall fruit, and its compound leaves turn brilliant orange and red in autumn. Native from Oklahoma and Texas to Mexico, this limestone-loving tree is fast-growing, hardy, and tolerant of heat, cold, and drought. While it can form colonies, it’s less aggressive than other sumacs. Its berries can even be soaked to make a tart, vitamin C-rich tea.
