Saanen dairy goats are renowned for their exceptional milk production, calm temperament, and elegant, pure-white appearance. Originating in Switzerland, they are the largest of the dairy breeds and are known for their steady, dependable lactations and strong, well-attached mammary systems. Gentle, intelligent, and easy to handle, Saanens are ideal for both commercial dairies and family homesteads. Their hardiness and adaptability make them a favorite worldwide, and their striking presence continues to excel in show rings across the country.

Pop A Squat (Sara) at 1-02

Pop A Squat, a.k.a. Sara, was a surprise addition to our herd. She shared my travelling kennel with her littermate brother Smitty. She was going to go to my friend Amy Keach and the buck was for me. It ended up that Sara stayed with us. Thank you Amy!!

Sara has that pretty escutcheon you would expect when the kid has 5 consecutive generations of Excellent udders behind her. And she is my kind of goat with lots of substance and power as well as correct conformation. She is extra exciting for us since she is littermate to our young herd sire, Pleasant-Grove Smitten By Pal (a.k.a. Smitty).

Sara’s sire, Palermo, is maternal brother to the 2025 ADGA National Champion Saanen, Alder*Rose New Italian Rain. Their dam, Corato, is an amazing doe with an appraisal score of 7-05 92 (EEEE) and

DHIA 5-11 298 3860 141 3.7f 108 2.8p.

Sara’s dam Pleasant-Grove NSMM Sitdown is 5th generation LA Excellent in Udder. She is a powerful doe with a lovely front end and stands on strong feet and legs. Sitdown still has that fabulous

Pleasant-Grove udder as an aged doe.

Sitdown earned 1st place/1st Udder Aged Doe at the 2025 National Show. Then in August of this same year, she earned her LA score of 7-02 92 (EEEE). All of this at 7 years old while working on her 2nd straight 4,000 pound lactation! What a doe!! Sitdown proves a doe can be powerful, pretty, and milk an impressive lactation, even as she ages. She is also proving herself to be an incredible brood doe. Sara’s maternal sibling, 3 year old Pleasant-Grove Stack of Cash, earned Best in Show and Best Udder in Show at the prestigious Iowa State Fair in 2025. Cash also appraised 3-06 92(EEEE) in 2025.

Sara has much to live up to with her impressive pedigree. She is off to a good start!
