Doe Genetics
RDM Goliath is the base of our doe herd. We are matching top AI bucks to his daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughters. By doing this we just continue to deepen our pedigrees. It doesn’t seem to matter who the sire is, our girls produce very framy bucks with long tines and beams, wide inside and good mass. RDM O 33 is our “superdoe.” An RDM Goliath daughter, she has produced RDM Highgoer, a Highroller son and his 2 womb sisters, Y 5, dam of Waldvogel’s GoMax and Y 7 is producing for Dennis Sykes. O 33’s Bucky daughter produced RDM Hobo.

Some of these crosses are coming down through RDM Fireball, the only RDM Goliath son we had before he was stolen. Fireball was a 120 yearling which was a very nice yearling in 1999. We never got a score on him after that because he would always rub the tips and ends of his beams off in late July or early August. It seemed that once the flies started to bite the antlers, it drove him crazy. He would head for the trees and rub till he broke a lot of his rack off. We couldn’t seem to do anything to help him. So we never got a true score after his yearling score. But Fireball daughters are producing for many breeders just as his sire’s daughters are.
We don’t have a lot of animals from our bucks in our own herd or in others herds because we are small breeders. We just don‘t have the numbers that other breeders have, who breed hundreds of does each year or sell hundreds of straws of semen. But if you look at the number of bucks that we collect semen on, we have semen available on over one third of the bucks on our farm. It’s not just one great buck that is available but a large group. Our genetics will produce in your herd. As you get a nice buck from our genetics, send me a picture and I will post it on the website.
