We are so pleased to welcome our two new Jr. Herdsires

   Forrest Pride Missouri Sunray

Sunray is a very stylish, uphill buck that we expect will continue to improve our herd for many years.

   Forrest Pride Wild Adventure

Full of dairy character, Wild Adventure also adds length and depth to the bodies of his offspring.

Merrigold Ensign - Lamancha

Ensign is our up and coming jr. herdsire who shows extreme dairyness and I expect great things from him.  Ensign won Jr. Champion buck in Yorkton under Starlene MacGregor and Reserve Jr. Champion Buck under Susan Barker.  His Dam, Merrigold BLV Enya, was Grand Champion Lamancha under both Starlene MacGregor and Susan Barker.  Thank you Lorraine Keeping for the opportunity to add these genetics to our herd!

Ensign has been bred to a few yearlings but won't be used extensively until next year.  Update - we currently have quite a few yearlings off Ensign and couldn't be more impressed with the style he's throwing.  His daughters are all very stylsih and the first ones will be freshening in the winter of 2012 so we'll be able to see what kind of udders he's passed on.

Triple C Tristan - Lamancha

Tristan has consistently thrown nice long kids with strong feet and legs.  We've only seen a few of his daughters freshen but this year we'll see many more so we can get a feeling for what kind of udders he's passing along.  So far, we've been extremely happy with his daughters. 

Tristan's daughters have great udders, all improved over their dams and beautiful for hand milking.  He passes on a quiet temperament that we enjoy.  Due to the fact that we have kept almost every daughter born off him, he will be for sale in 2010 or 2011.  Please contact us for more information if you are interested in Tristan.

Roxey's Umed - Lamancha

Umed is a yearling buck that we only used on one doe last year, producing twin doelings.  This year he gets to show us more of what he's capable of and will be used on almost half the herd.  He's a buck with a nice deep body with a good topline, strong legs, and a good temperament.  His two yearling daughters are maturing nicely and we have more doelings from him this year.  Can't wait to see some freshen.  Update - Umed's daughters have freshened with tons of milk and have increased capacity over their dams with very good attachment.  We are quite pleased with these does and will be retaining most of them in our herd.

Trilyte Wesley II - Alpine

This year we added some purebred alpines to our herd and ended up with a beautiful buckling that we decided to keep since we're so happy with the does.  These alpines are Trilyte animals from Susan Frazer's herd and we couldn't be happier with them.  We currently have four purebred alpine does and a number of commercial alpines.  Update - we will be breeding all our does to LaMancha bucks for the next year or two.  I love the influence of these alpines in our herd and really like the combination of alpine and lamancha.
