Kat is a highly anticipated daughter of Contessa. Her registration was held up while we did DNA testing to determine her sire, thus she was not shown as a Jr. Kid.

Kat freshened with a beautiful udder (notice E in mammary on LA), 87 overall as a first freshener which does not disappoint us at all! Kat is definitely a favorite, if a slower maturing doe.

Kat and Kismet were the 2 does still milking for us in late November 2019, and we were very happy with Kat's production as a first freshener. Kat is easy to milk, has nicely placed teats and good production.

In 2020, Kat is slowly maturing into a very nice doe. We planned on keeping her buck from last year's breeding to Rockin-CB KR Hoku, Meadowlark Hoku Mahalu, as one of our Junior Herdsires, however at the last minute he went up to Pam Kroll's herd in Sioux City to fill in for her injured Senior Herdsire.

In 2021, Kat gave us another nice Jr. Herdsire by +*B SG Rockin-CB KR Hoku, Meadowark Hobe Kat, who is breeding our best young does this year.

Kat finally got her first championship leg this year at the Flatwater Classic LaMancha Specialty show! She was laparascopically AI bred to Nelpoby T-Rex, a buck we used a few years ago whose kids are large and who produces does with extremely smooth fore udders. Kat came back in heat 22 days after that breeding and so is backup bred to Platte Valley Jukebox Hero for March kids. Juke's tremendous strength and his dam's power should be a good cross for Kat who is one of our more refined does.

In 2022, Kat picked up her second championship leg at the Flatwater Classic. Amazingly, she went Reserve Champion in the other ring to her own daughter, yearling milker Katamaran. Kat Ballou scored 90 at our LA session this year, and continues to milk well into late October. She was laparoscopically AI'd to Rockin-CB KWY Jiangxi for February kids.
