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 daughter SGCH Dawnwind KJ Magdalene 4*M remains 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. Trumpcard has done a magnificent job of bringing in that topline and foreudder to our herd...while genetics don't always click, this time it certainly did! 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, with the length, the dairy strength that we hold as ideal. She walks with grace and elegance. Her udder came in full, and socked-on. As she ages, she continues to collect BUB and BUIS wins. She continually catches my eye in the pen--definitely a favorite. This doe really has it all. What a wonderful outcross on our favorite doe from the Mamm-Key herd and our own beloved Medesima. Her full brother, Mahogany, produced Melvyna (below) and the crosses between these two lines are really special. Her daughter Magnolia, by Lincoln, was 3rd place Junior Kid at the 2017 National Show, and belongs to Alpenthal's. We are pleased to retain her daughter Minerva, by Dawnwind Homie Manolo, in the herd in 2020.

Melvyna as a 3 year old.
Melvyna is strong and smooth, with a particularly wide and flat rump. She has a quirky personality--always getting into trouble and looking to be pet. Her udder is rock solid, with a lovely medial, and ideal teats. She is out-producing herself: daughters Merry and Mistral are both in our herd. On track for 3500# in her 3 year old lactation.

Shillelagh, age 3 years.

Shillelagh [shill-LAY-lee] is such a neat cross of old and new from the Iron-Rod lines. She is incredibly smooth, and her dam's udder is just stellar. She is well-loved here, though a bit of an attention hound. She placed in both the 2017 and 2018 ADGA National Shows. She did not freshen until age 3, and we are over the moon with her two doe kids by CH *B L & S Alpines Tigres Trumpcard. Her udder is finely textured, smoothly attached, and very easy to milk.

Merry at 2 years.

Merry is tremendously sweet and easy to handle. She has a beautiful topline on the move, and her legs are set correctly beneath her. As a yearling, she had a small, correct udder. As a two year-old, she has tremendous extension to the foreudder and width to the rear udder.

Mistral as a milking yearling.

Mistral is a character--into your pockets, bothering older does, chewing on things. She was a sharp kid, and freshened beautifully. While she doesn't have the udder capacity yet to match her larger frame, her dam demonstrated that it will come in the next year or two.
