While Yukio was used very early on in our dairy goat herd, he has been a big part of the foundation of our American herd being the sire of Hops N Lops Bellatrix 1*M EX91.

With Disclosure's dam GCH Lassenwood Miller Kalila 1*M (04-05) VVEE 90, the 2005 National Champion and Reserve Best Udder being his dam it's not surprise he's had such success!
