Below are animals that have made a
profound impact on our herd, but are no longer with us. We
provide this for those interested in the animals and lines behind our
current does.
Twist was our first milking doe
and quickly became a favorite, not just because of her excellent show
record (six times Best in Show, twice Best Udder in Show, numerous BOB
placings) or her abundant milk production, but her wonderful
personality. Strong and dairy, she stood on very good feet and
legs, exhibited excellent depth of body and heart, and had an excellent
mammary system. Twist gave us our first AI doe kid, our first
Best in Show win, our first AI buck retained, and our taste for dairy
goats that spurred us to where we are today. Sadly, she died
within hours of giving birth at nine years old, leaving us with her
last legacy: twin bucks out of an AI to ++*B Winterwood's The Medicine
Man. Stingy with the doe kids, her impact has been introduced to
the other lines through her correct and stylish buck offspring.

"Sonni" came to us from Bill Hanks. After our first year breeding left us
with only one doe kid, I surfed looking for quality animals that would
bring in similar lines and the needed attributes that we wanted to
breed into our herd. Bill came through for us with this wonderful
doe. As a kid, she was correct and stylish. As a milker,
she produced both in the show ring and in the milk room. Very
similar in type to Twist, we lost her way too soon when after two years
of really tough kidding, she was put down. Her offspring now
account for more than half the active show herd and the consistency of
this line to reproduce itself has been remarkable.

Another of our foundation does, Mandy is a solid performer.
She has consistently produced well over 2000 lbs/lactation,
starting as a milking yearling. Not as stylish or flashy as Gale,
she has a lot of strength and substance to augment a very good mammary
system. While not overwelming us with doe kids, those that she
has produced are very strong and correct.

Paragon was a beautiful buck,
sweet tempered and correct. He brought in strong feet and a
square rear leg set along with extraordinary udder texture. All
of his milking daughters had the softest, most collapsable udders I
have ever milked. We lost him during a particularly bad cold
snap one winter, but his daughters have made the herd more consistent
in style and structure. He has two permanent champion
daughters and one with two legs. His contributions continue in
his daughters and an exceptional son, Longvu L*P Onyx Obsession.

"Upsie" is strong on her feet and legs with good length of body and
excellent width throughout. She freshened with a
very high, tight udder featuring a smooth fore, great area of
attachment and properly placed teats. She has filled out nicely as she has matured and sports a very capacious and well
attached mammary system.

I had long admired the pictures of Java and had heard many good things
about her. She has so many good qualities, and is particularly
strong in areas that we seek improvement. So, when Pete Snyder
let it be known that a buck was available, I did very quick research on
his sire and then committed. He brings in some of the
strong genetics from Lucky*Star and Elm-Glen. Specifically, "Timmy" has added greater width and
flatness of rump, longer bone patterns, and just a beautiful rear leg
stance with width and height in the escutcheon.
Timmy's daughters have demonstrated their correctness with some great
acheivements: Kiwi Mango iFruity earned her permanent champion
status as a second freshening two-year old, Magic Woman was the 1st
place Jr yearling at the 2010 ADGA National Show in Louisville, Moon
Mist BX Sansa Dance won her dry leg and was Best in Show at the
Farmington Fair show in Maine.

You can easily see the inner peace in this doe. "Vipa" demonstrates the best qualities of her dam and brings in the
improvements we hoped to see from her sire. She is longer in bone
with straighter front legs than her dam, and demonstrates the same
sharpness, angularity, and width from Harmony. She then freshened
with a beautifully stapled on udder, featuring plumb teats, an
excellent medial,
and exceptional fore and rear attachments. Vipa finished the show
season with two straight Best-in-Show ribbons at two of the largest
shows we had attended last year. This year, Vipa was the 12th place 4 year old at the 2010 ADGA Nationals.
Unfortunately, Vipa aborted and didn't come into milk this year, so she
will be sidelined for the 2011 National Show and the 2011 show
season.

This little ditty has developed into a full fledged aria. At 12 years old, "Liddy" is still going strong on
great feet and legs. She has a level top line and rump and shows
a lot of strength and dairyness. While her mammary system is starting to
show signs of 11 lactations with 7 of them well above 2000 lbs, she is
still competetive in the show ring. Her daughters always carry
the same great general appearance traits and productivity. Her
appraisal at age 7 certainly reflects the longevity of excellence in
this line.

Like the spreadsheet software, this doe adds it all together into
a wonderful package. Lotus has a long, wide flat rump with a wide
high rear
attachment. She is
long bodied with sharp withers and a long lean neck. She is very
correct on her rear legs and has a great front end. She is deep
in the heart with a nice width in the front. Her mammary system
is well attached, with an excellent area of attachment, with excellent
productivity.
Lotus placed 14th as a yearling milker at the 2010 ADGA Nationals in
Louisville, KY and 11th as a two year old at the 2011 ADGA Nationals in Springfield, MA.

Maverick is an absolutely
beautiful buck. His correctness in form is accented by his
excellent feet and rear leg set; wide, flat rump; and sharpness of
withers and front end. His pedigree brings in several of the
lines that we have bred on, along with some other very impressive
genetics. Mav's offspring are all showing a longer bone pattern,
wider rumps, high and wide escutcheons, tighter front ends, and
improved legs and feet. His kids have all turned heads at the
shows we have attended.
