Pearl (REG# AN1862142) and Samson (REG# N1776637) This will be Pearl’s 5th kidding, all with Samson. She has some strong bloodlines in her lineage, and she has proven herself to be a great mother and generous milker. She has given us nine girls, one boy so far and all have been flashy. She gives us
