Felicity is a first freshener who’s already showing some serious promise. At just 50 days into her lactation, she tested at 9.7% butterfat and nearly 3 pounds of milk – a pretty impressive start, especially for a yearling. She’s sired by BETTER WAYZ SWISS MISTER *B, who has ten first freshening daughters on milk test with consistent results across the board. His dam, SG BETTER WAYZ SWISS MISS CARABEAR 3*M, is nothing short of incredible – Elite list for eight straight years, Top 10 list three times, and appraised VEEE92 with a 47 in foreudder attachment. Her production numbers speak for themselves: 1,790 lbs in 2020 (Top Ten #3 milk, #2 butterfat), 1,550 lbs in 2022 (Top Ten #7 milk, #1 butterfat), and 1,540 lbs in 2023 (Top Ten#6 milk, #1 butterfat).

Felicity’s dam, BETTER WAYZ IS A JOY, brings even more butterfat to the table, averaging 9.9% herself. Joy is out of SG BETTER WAYZ ISABELLE, another powerhouse doe who’s been Elite for five years and on the Top 10 list four times, including #1 in butterfat in 2021. Isabelle scored EEEE92 on LA, with standout numbers across the board – 39 foreudder, 36 rear udder height, 39 rear udder arch, 42 rump width, and E’s in shoulder assembly, front legs, rear legs, and back.

Joy’s sire, BETTER WAYZ BRAVEHART CARABEAR *B, ties everything together. He’s a full brother to some of the most decorated does in the breed: SG BETTER WAYZ FUNSHINE CARABEAR 3*M was Top 10 for butterfat three years in a row (2020, 2021, 2022), on the Elite list from 2018–2024, and appraised VEEE91 with a 43 in rear udder arch. SG BETTER WAYZ HARMONY CARABEAR 3*Mmade Top 10 in 2020 and 2021, broke the all-time Nigerian Dwarf butterfat record in 2021 with 136 lbs, held Elite status from 2018–2023, and scored EEEE92 with E’s in rear legs and back. And of course, SG BETTER WAYZ SWISS MISS CARABEAR 3*M who anchors the top side of Felicity’s pedigree and brings it all full circle.
