Hammer's Annette 134 is a daughter of TTP Golden Hammer and a foundation doe, Blue's Sons 706. 

We retained 706's 2019 Golden Hammer twin daughters as well as her 2020 GH daughter and sold the 2020 son as a herd sire. In 2021 we sold 706's triplet GH daughter (CKC Sale) who weaned at a higher weight than her two twin brothers. In 2022 we did a live cover flush of 706 and Golden Hammer, resulting in numerous daughters. Annette is one of those daughters. Annette's dam, 706, was damaged from that 2022 flush so Annette is the last daughter we will sell from the GH/706 cross. 

For those who don't know we cancelled nearly all our sale entries last year. We are caring for a parent with advanced alzheimer's and cancer. It's a 24/7 job that has been much harder than expected so we ended up keeping over 50 does last year. Annette is one of those does, making her a 2022 model.

Annette's sire Golden Hammer is an own son of the record setting Titans Hamer. We have been stingy with his daughters, retaining most to build our own herd. GH has proven himself not only on our farm for 6 breeding seasons but also in the buck tests. Golden Hammer had a #1 ADG son in the 2022 Oklahoma Buck test as well as the #2 FEC son on the same test, resulting in Sterling V Ranch being given the Top Herdsman award for 2022. 

Annette's full sisters: They ALWAYS produce hearty well-muscled kids at the top of our weaning weights. They are correct in structure, extremely maternal, heavy milkers with good udder attachment and small, easy to suckle teats. Annette's full sister Moonspot raised quads with no assistance in 2023 and we sent the boy to the Southeast Buck Test along with a triplet half-brother from the same sire EAV Rebel Outlaw. We didn't win an award but the purpose was to test a home raised buck and his boys performed in the upper half of the test. One was the only buck on test to receive a grade 1 body score!

Annette was a twin born at 6 lbs to a recip doe and weaned at 38 lbs. She had a one-year weight of 76 lbs and is currently 103 lbs. She has not been dewormed. Annette has been on pasture her whole life and had not been touched in almost a year when we pulled her for pics & video. She has had CD&T and CL vaccines. We vaccinate for CL preventatively. Our herd has tested negative for CAE and Johnes for six years. 

Annette's sire, Golden Hammer is ALPHA-s1 CASEIN A/B and her dam 706 is A/B also. A/B (or any combination of A&B) are the genes responsible for producing high milkfat which helps boost weaning weights.
