2023
We are excited to see kids from two homegrown bucks: Dawnwind Laureate Sololoquy and Dawnwind Shyne on Strategize, as well as from Stalwart Farms Jukebox and Iron-Rod DS A Stalwart Promise.
2022
For 2022, we had 8 senior does and 8 first fresheners kidding. We made it to Greeley CO; Cheyenne, WY, Big Timber, MT; Brighton, CO; Douglas, WY; & Sundance WY to show in ADGA- sanctioned shows and participated in DHIR, LA, and DNA testing (ADGA Plus). We are pleased to have our children be more active in showing, herd decisions, and chore help!

For 2021, we freshened 15 does. We had 10 does confirmed to kid in March, and continued with the other 5 does into the summer. We participated in DHIR and DNA typing this year. Our show schedule started in May, and we hit shows once a month through September (CO, WY). Linear Appraisal was possible for us in October, and we were thrilled to be a part of that program. I am so excited about our entire crop of milking yearlings, and this year’s kids from Sonny and Laureate were outstanding!

2020
As I amend this in August of 2020, we can all agree that external events have not gone as anticipated. We have made it to two shows so far, and are participating in DHIR as well. It is STILL a great year! We are looking forward to a great year for goats in 2020. We are set to freshen as many as 20 does, and attend several shows, participate in ADGA Plus, and just enjoy our goats! We will see what the year holds. 2020 kids were weighted heavily toward bucks.

2019
In 2019, we cut back our show schedule significantly, as we had a new baby at our house. We also chose to keep many dry yearlings and older does to reduce the chore load for the year. We showed at the Wyoming State Fair and the Black Hills Dairy Goat Association show in Sundance, WY.

2017
This year we were very pleased to attend the ADGA National Show in Madison, WI, taking along several youth from the Black Hills area. We had a strong showing, and really enjoyed ourselves. We also made it to several other shows. We were pleased that Tigress, Trumpcard’s dam, joined our herd, and placed 4th at Nationals. Also, Magnolia placed 3rd as a junior kid at Nationals.

2016
In 2016, we had 17 does total to freshen from March to May. It was very helpful to see so many first fresheners, and to get to use udders to make culling decisions. We also had 23/32 doe kids, so we had a lot of great kids to consider. We signed up for DHIR milk testing, Linear Appraisal, and ADGA Plus. We attended the Weld County Goat Extravaganza in Greeley, CO, the Wyoming Fuzzy Show in Torrington, WY, the South Dakota Dairy Goat Show in Huron, SD, and the WY State Fair. We were sad to lose our French Alpine herdsire, Iron-Rod Strength Singed.

2015
In 2015, we moved again, and are now in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We hope to attend WY and CO shows in 2015 and beyond. We have a full herd of does to kid this spring. Kids arrived in March. Dawnwind Ideal Marvelle won highest production at a One-Day Milk Test, obtaining her *M, and we participated in Linear Appraisal as well, where we were quite pleased with her final score of 89. A pair of my buck kids were GCH and RGCH bucks at the Weld County Goat Extravaganza over adult bucks!
2014
Early kids for 2014, unexpectedly so, particularly for Cahuna at age 11! We did the ADGA PLUS program, so LA, DHIR, and DNA testing were on the year’s docket. The herd moved to East Central Wyoming, and our new location had us much closer to the Wyoming shows. We are adding some purebred Alpine genetics from the lovely Iron-Rod herd. Thank you, Leslie! A very successful show season, with Bon Idee finishing at age 2, and Medesima winning BDIS at the Wyoming Fuzzy Show! We introduced many children to showing, which was a blast. Great LA scores, particularly the Excellent final scores for Medesima, King Julien, Legs, and Blythe!
2013
In 2013, we renewed our DHIR status, and were on milk test again. Medesima and Tatic finished their championships at the Fuzzy Show in Torrington, WY. Jinglebob was GCH as an intermediate kid at the Tri-County CO show. Connexion was GCH as a senior kid at the Wyoming State Fair. Marvelle and Buttercup both had reserve junior champion wins as well. *B Mamm-Key Zephyr’s King Julien joined us this fall as another herdsire.
2012
We participated in Linear Appraisal in 2012, welcomed *B Chateau Briant’s Bon Idee and Chateau Briant’s Jacquard to our herd, and attended the Wyoming State Fair shows in August, where our goats won three reserve awards. It was a year of rebuilding!
2011
In 2011, we had a strong crop of kids, after cutting herd numbers by nearly half. We took the year off of showing, LA, and DHIR, as we had our baby girl in October.
2010
We are pleased to have been a participant in DHIR in 2010. Several of our does obtained their milking star awards. At the Cheyenne Fuzzy show, we had three RGCH awards: Dawnwind Mega Magnifico, Dawnwind Magnifique Mirabelle, and Dawnwind Zeeman Creme de Cocoa. At the Tri-County Show in Colorado, Dawnwind Retake Cahuna, Dawnwind Zeeman Clementine, and Dawniwnd Magnifique Mirabelle also all received RGCH awards. Linear Appraisal was very rewarding, with three of our homebred animals appraising Excellent, and promising scores on our young animals. We are so excited about Magnifico’s 91 EEE score as a four year-old buck!!!
2009
During the 2009 show season (in 8 rings), our goats won 5 GCH and 1 RGCH awards. Dawnwind Magnifique Claddagh was 2xJrGCH at the 2009 Cheyenne Fuzzy Wuzzy Quad Show; Dawnwind Magnifique Melody won JrGCH at the Tri-County Show, while Dawnwind Retake Cahuna was RGCH in the Senior division. Dawnwind Mega Magnifico and Bilrite MX Zeeman each won a leg at the Wyoming State Fair/District VII Alpine Specialty Buck show. Dawnwind Retake Cahuna obtained her milking star in a one day milk test and both she and Bilrite MS Thyristor scored 89 in Linear Appraisal!
