Longvu LaManchas: Reference Animals
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 almost 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.
GCH Longvu L*P Tangerine Surprise 2*M
L1219936 DOB: 3/7/02

"Angie" was the first of the Paragon daughters to earn her permanent
champion status. She has a very good udder with what we refer to
as the "Paragon texture", being very soft, pliable and collapsing to
near nothing when empty. Angie has good feet and legs, with a
nice square rear leg stance. She is extremely dairy and
productive, putting everything into milk production until late summer.
In the show ring, she has been BDIS once and has many BOB wins.
*B Lucky*Star's QM Paragon
L1184930
DOB: 2/1/01
LA: (2-06) 89 VEV
S: ++*B Quixote Jo's Monet
D: SGCH Lucky*Star's F Krystal
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.
