"Sonny" at 3 years.

For 2020, an interesting trade--Sonny for Trumpcard--came up as an option.  I am always looking to maintain and improve consistency in leg set, topline, dairy strength, and width throughout.  When Sonny showed up, I was just tickled with his looks, and very impressed with this manners.  He is very easy-going and a pleasure to be around.  His pedigree had already impressed me, as he is the genetic full sibling to the 2019 ADGA National Champion and Alpine Best Udder: SGCH Redwood Hills Klein Rosetta 12*M 4-05 93 EEEE.  His dam, Reign On, has illustrious sisters in her own right, including Drops of Rain, Rainboots, Rima, and Drops of Respect.  We are excited to see how Sonny crosses on our herd for 2021 kids.  Thank you to Ann Summerton and Carole Tripp for trading.

Trumpcard at 3 years.

To continue to develop our French Alpine program, we were specifically looking for overall correctness coupled with outstanding rumps and foreudders.  We have shown against Tigress and Traza in Colorado, and admired them for those particular traits.  Sass ties us back into Qu'Appelle V Ember and Iron-Rod lines, and his dam is a full sister to the Premier National Sire GCH +*B Windrush Farms IRS Charmer 4-06 89 VEV.  Trumpcard is exceedingly well grown, and we are so pleased with him.  Thank you Sherry and Linda!

Show Results:  3xGCH, Daughter Swan was 14th place Int. Kid at 2017 ADGA National Show.  Trumpcard's progeny were 3rd place Junior Get of Sire at 2017 ADGA National Show.  2xJrGCH, 2016 All-American buck kid (AIC), 2017 Reserve All-American yearling buck (AIC).

 Shyne at 3 years.

I continue to admire the Iron-Rod goats, and this breeding resonates with the direction I want to take my herd.  I am thrilled at the opportunity to have Shyne.  Thank you Leslie and Larry for entrusting him to us!  Shyne is exeedingly long, tall, and dairy, in fact, very similar to his maternal half sister, Legs, also in our herd.  Since we first saw Shatte in our 2014 visit to the Iron-Rod herd, she has only gotten better!  She has been competitive at the National Show, placing 11th at age 4, 6th at age 6, and 7th at age 7.  Her maternal 1/2 sister was the late 2014 National Champion, CH Iron-Rod STB Shelby.  She also has a GCH daughter.  On Shyne's paternal side, he brings back Sanstorms Super Shyne, a throwback to the herd where I obtained my very first doe, Sanstorms Enchanting Mitzi.  Sheriff was the 2011 Premier Sire, has 6 offspring with permanent championships and three with superior genetics (SG) designations, and his son, Charmer, has also been named Premier Sire twice.  Shyne will be used heavily this year.

SHYNE HAS BEEN COLLECTED, SEMEN AVAILABLE.  PLEASE INQUIRE.

An import from Maine, Bon Idee (in French: good idea) is our senior herdsire.  Check out his pedigree made up entirely of Excellent scoring appraisal scores!  I love the length, smoothness, and phenomenal udders that his sire, Samurai, has thrown in daughters at the Chateau Briant herd--GCH Baylee (5-02 91 EEVE) was 1st/1st yearling milker at the 2011 National Show, while GCH Jovial (5-03 92 EEEE) was 4th yearling milker at the 2011 National Show, and both does finished their championships as two year-olds, with seven champion offspring total.  Bon Idee's dam, Braxton, was the 9th place dry yearling at the 2011 National Show and 11th place 4 year-old in 2014 (photo below).  Her udder is beautifully attached and especially smooth in the fore udder. 

Bon Idee has exceeded my original expectations.  I am seeing a lot of width and brisket extension in his daughters.  He has been complimented by judges for his dairy character, and admired for his tremendously long frame.  He became a permanent champion at age 2 in 2014.  His daughter Marvelle is producing in the milk pail (16# per day peak as a 2, 3, and 4 year-old), finishing her championship in 2017, and obtained an appraisal score of 90 (3-04 EEVV) in 2016.  Madeira also had tremendous milk production.  He continually produces does that are improvements over their dams, and showing increased milk production. Bon Idee died in 2019.
