The Measure line has produced really nice does, Myrtille is no exception.  I anticipate the KJ influence to increase milk production significantly, an area in which her relatives have been lacking.  Extremely personable, and not interested in photos.

Lincoln has been level, long, and wide, a nice cross of these Iron-Rod French bloodlines.  When his sire died in 2016, it made sense to see how he fit.  His dam, Legs, appraised as a 2 year-old with an Excellent in mammary, as did his yearling half-sister, Leprechaun.  He has a very similar head and style to that of his sire, Singed.  We also admire the fore udder extension and elegance of his paternal granddam, Sizzle.  Lincoln was sold in 2017, and we will se his first kids in 2017 as well.

Singed at 8 months.

We looked for a French buck from a solid pedigree, capable of improving in a few specific areas, maybe from younger-aged breeding stock, and Singed is the one!  Very excited to see his kids.  He is a different line and look than our French does, and they should do great things together. Still smaller, as an April kid, but he is a powerhouse and so very masculine!

Singed died in June, 2016, from a massive trauma to his neck.

We weren't planning to keep this guy around, then the appraiser had some great things to say about him, and he kept growing and filling out, and he's still here.  So we are excited to use him.  He is well built, smooth, flashy, and really big.  His full sisters were quite lovely--definitely had the strength of Cahuna with the length of Magnifico and her udder was very nice.  Currently have daughters Blythe, Midori, Stimulus, Thora, Leprechaun, and Meridian.

[above] Dawnwind Retake Cahuna, 6 years, 2009

Cahuna is built like a block: wide and deep.  Her beautiful, snug udder, strong feet, legs, and brisket make her a stand out.  She does have large teats as a result of nursing her kids for several years.  In 2009, she milked 12.8# in a one-day milking competition.  We are very pleased with her permanent score of 90 VEEE at 7 years old.  At 11, she continues to milk well, and has beautiful feet and legs.  Clever and Coin, Cahuna's kids by Magnifico, and Compliment, her doe by Bon Idee, remain in our herd.  Cahuna died peacefully in March, 2015.  We already miss her, and hope to continue her legacy in our herd.

We are pleased to have KJ join the herd.  I am impressed with his daughters, particularly those that are crosses on my Magnifico line (seen in another herd).  The daughters have long, smooth foreudders, and extreme length and levelness to their rumps.   His dam, Blossom, is a doe I have long admired, and I saw her when she finished her championship, and she is really something.  We are pleased to have several of his kids on the ground--they are showing substance of bone and a stylish appearance.   We are keeping his son out of Medesima as a junior herdsire.  KJ passed away in 2015 from a brain trauma.

Dawnwind Mega Magnifico, 4 years

Magnifico is a tall, level buck who excells in his rear leg set, back, and rump. He is linebred on Dawnwind Shocking Magdalena, one of our favorite does, who finished her championship at 2 years old. His daughters have freshened with tight udder attachments, lovely toplines, and his smooth front end. His daughters SGCH Medesima and Jinglebob remain in our herd. We are thrilled with his linear appraisal score of 91 EEE in 2010.

Dawnwind Proximate Measure, fourth freshening 5 year-old

Measure has always been very tall and has now filled in her frame. Her slower growth pattern is reminiscent of Prima's development, and she becoming more beautiful with age. Her udder is well placed, with good attachments, ideal teat size and placement, and good capacity. We have retained a daughter of Measure in our herd: Marvelle (by Bon Idee).  She has a permanent champion son: CH Dawnwind Measured Tatic (3-03 EEE 90).

Show Results: 1xRGCH

Measure was sold in 2013.

We lost Minuit in 2008, just before showing and Linear Appraisal season.  Fortunately, she had triplet doe kids, and we retained Medesima in our herd.  Minuit was beautiful, long, and extremely dairy.  Her production was always high, and she was able to complete her milking star as a yearling.  Her udder was very soft, pliable, and she was the easiest doe in our herd to milk.  She finished her GCH as a 3 year-old.  She was a 3/4 sister to Magdalena.  Her line carries on through Medesima in our current herd.

3/1/2001 American Alpine

Magdalena was just beautiful.  She was our first "home-grown" finished champion, which meant a lot to me.  She showed strength throughout, and had a really snug udder.  Her fore udder extension was really superb.  She passed away in 2008, leaving us with plenty of offspring.  Minuit was her 3/4 sister. At the very competitive MN State Fair, Magdalena placed 7th as a 2 year-old, and 6th as a 3 year-old.  In addition to showing well at ADGA shows, she and Frances won the 2003 Senior Showmanship at the MN State 4-H Dairy Goat Show.  Most of the herd traces to her via her offspring, Magnifico and Measure.

We were thrilled to find GT in 2001, just as we were expanding our herd.  Mark Baden of Olentangy Alpines was moving from Ohio to Washington, and we picked GT up along his trip.  GT was extremely personable, and a beautiful lavender two-tone chamoise (light chocolate brown instead of black).  He improved structure, was extremely tall, had lovely rear udder height, and a beautiful head.  We were very pleased with his kids and how they produced.  We had limited opportunities to show him in MN and WI, where he obtained 2 GCH legs and 4 RGCH wins.

3/14/2000 American Alpine

There is no doubt that Prima was my brother Arthur's doe, as she absolutely loved him.  She was one of the three does we obtained from Waiilatpu in 2000, as we returned to showing Alpines.  Prima was the smallest of triplets, and a bit of a late bloomer.  Yet, with outstanding structural correctness, particularly in her front end assembly, she had little problem competing against the bigger girls.  As a milker, she had a beautiful udder to complete the package.  She had very small teat orifices.  She was frequently second to Camilla in the show ring, and finished her GCH as a 4 year-old.  Her influence on our current herd can be seen through Proximo, Measure, and Marvelle.

We obtained Camilla from Waiilatpu as a kid, and she matured into an absolutely gorgeous doe.  Her long, flat topline flows into a wide, level rump, while standing or while on the move.  Her udder is snug all the way around, and her foreudder attachment is really outstanding.  Her head is very nearly ideal.  She finished her GCH as a 3 year-old in the first month of shows, for a total of 5xGCH, 1xRGCH in 8 shows in 2003.  In 2004, she was 3xBOB, and 1xBDIS.  She is a good producer, and acheived her milking star at age 2.

2/19/2000 Chamoisee

Of the three doe kids we bought from Waiilatpu, Majesta was always the longest and the tallest.  She also has an enormous will to milk, and at 4 years old, finally complemented udder capacity with body size.  Majesta consistently threw only doe kids while we owned her, including two permanent champions (Minuit and Magdalena, above).  Her dairy character and milking ability interfered with her showing abilities, as she would usually be on the thin side during the summer.  She easily attained her milking star as a 2 year-old.  Majesta has several RGCH wins to her name.  We are happy to carry on her bloodlines through our "M" lines of bucks and does.

We obtained McAnix as a kid, from Marianne Sans.  As a yearling, he was injured by another buck and dislocated his hip.  He was never sound on the leg, but he was always happy and otherwise healthy.  We used him heavily through the breeding season of 2001, and he passed away the following year.  His daughter, Minuit, finished her championship, and several other daughters received their milking stars.  He was never appraised or shown because of his injury.
