Medesima, milked out after being named BDIS, 2014 WY Fuzzy Show, 6 years, 6 freshenings

Medesima is long and extremely dairy. In her first show as a yearling, Medesima placed 2x1st with 1st udder in classes of 16! Several judges described her as a very balanced and complete doe, and complimented her front end assembly. Her udder is snugly attached, and she has just gotten better with age. She finished her permanent championship at the 2013 WYDGA Fuzzy Show, and won Best Doe In Show in 2014 at age 6, with two more BDIS wins in 2016, one in 2017, and one in 2018! Medesima is holding up beautifully as she ages--particularly in the strength and correctness of feet, legs, topline, and udder attachment--she epitomizes the quality coupled with the longevity I strive to attain with our does, as confirmed by her 92 EEEE appraisal score as an 8 year-old doe. We are pleased with her 6th place finish in the aged doe class at the 2017 ADGA National Show in Madison. Her daughters GCH Dawnwind KJ Magdalene 4*M and Dawnwind Shyne On Mimi remain in our herd.

Tigress as a 6 year-old.

Tigress joined the herd in May of 2017. We had previously shown against her in Colorado and Wyoming, admiring her tremendous fore udder, topline, and rump, not to mention her presence in the ring. In 2016, we had the opportunity to obtain her buck kid, Trumpcard, to add to our French Alpines. In 2017, we jumped at the chance to buy her, filling in a gap in the ages of our does, and adding a strong all-around doe to our show and breeding line up. Since joining us, she has won a Best Udder of Breed and was the 4th place 5 & 6 year old milker at the 2017 ADGA National Show. We are very grateful to Linda Johnson and Sherry Barnes of L & S Alpines for allowing her to join us in South Dakota.

Magdalene, age 2.
Magdalene is very smooth, has the length, the dairy and the strength, and walks with grace and elegance. Her udder came in full, and socked-on. She continually catches my eye in the pen--definitely a favorite. Her full brother, Mahogany, was one of our herdsires, so I am very pleased to see their offspring mature. She placed 16th Milking 2 year-old at the 2017 ADGA National Show. Her daughter Magnolia, by Lincoln, was 3rd place Junior Kid at the 2017 National Show, and remains with the herd.

We had the opportunity to have Stylus rejoin the herd in 2019, and we took it. We love the combination of Sst. Claire and Clever: tons of strength and height. She has yet to be appraised or on milk test.

Lyrix as a milking yearling.

Lyrix is dairy, tall, and angular. I expect the topline and rump to be a highlight of this cross. She is very sweet-tempered. Her udder has come in very nicely, but not full as she kidded about a week early. Now just waiting for her to increase in capacity.

Magnolia as a milking yearling.
I admit that a broken sundgau catches my eye, helping Magnolia to remain a keeper. This doe kid combines two lines that I think are incredibly strong--longevity and balance from Medesima, a beautiful udder in Magdalene, uphill and smooth topline from KJ, lovely balance to the head from Singed, and elegance from Legs. Others were also impressed with this doe, as she won her dry leg as a junior kid, and then placed 3rd in the Junior Kid class at the 2017 ADGA National Show. Magnolia has freshened with a very high, tight, and correct udder.
