There's a story here... this lovely doe was originally a keeper, that I had named Mahalo - Hawaiian for Thank You.. but I ended up selling her to fund purchasing back yearlings that I regretting selling in 2018. My dear friend Judy at Rivers Rest Farm purchased her, and came to bring her home. My youngest daughter watched me load her and clouded up, but kept it together.. until she drove away. Little Sydney's heart broke when this doe left. She cried for hours. I tried to get her to accept another baby goat as "hers", but all she wanted was her "Meilani" - the name she had been calling this darling doe. I had no idea Sydney had bonded with this doeling, but she had clearly bonded. This was HER baby. So I called Judy, and of course she allowed me to have her back. MAHALO, Judy!! You are the best, really. I can't express how much it means to me, and to Sydney. Turns out Meilani actually means "Beautiful Flower" in Hawaiian - so 3 year old Sydney named her baby :) - Mahalo again to Judy for figuring that out as well!
So... not just a pretty name, or an adorable story.. Meilani is line bred on the late great Flat Rock's Gem ++S ++B
and extensively on Irish Whisper Harry Potter +B.
