Joyous Farm’s Le Tigre (F1)

Tiger is a LOVE bug!

Irina Skillman has used Tiger extensively in her herd until 2020, and then offered him to us.

In 2021, he gave us three gorgeous kids: two of which we retained: Storybook’s Glimmer and Storybook’s Prince Valiant. Storybook’s Gleam was a very handsome buckling, but we can’t keep them all!

In 2022, we retained two of his three daughters: Storybook’s Anette and Storybook’s Michelle. Pictures of some of these kids are below.

Tiger carries genetics loaded with milk production. Our main reason for bringing him in was to continue to improve udders and production in our herd. We love what we’ve seen so far in Le Tigre’s sister (Joyous Farm Ferrari, owned by Samantha Barton of Foggy Fork Farm) and daughters (Skillman’s Milky Way, Skillman’s Ariel, and Skillman’s Cinderella). Here are just two examples of daughters of this fine herdsire:

Le Tigre’s Registrations

Tiger is double registered: MDGA and TMGR. This means that we can breed him to any does we own and their kids will be registrable. Check out the milk credentials in the MDGA registration!

Tiger’s Kids at Storybook Farm

Tiger’s 2020 Kids:

Tiger was bred to two does in 2019. Giselle gave us a gorgeous single buckling, whom we retained as a new herdsire: Storybook’s Prince Valiant. Storybook’s Twinkle gave us twins: Storybook’s Glimmer (retained) and Gleam.

2022 Kids

Tiger was bred to Giselle again in 2021. The pair gave us triplets, but one girl was stillborn. However, Annette (retained) and Raphael were gorgeous twins. Tiger also sired triplets with Storybook’s Amie. These were the last kids born in 2022: two doelings (Michelle — who is polled and retained — and Gabrielle) and a buckling, named Angelo.
