We purchased Philippe in Fall 2003 from Jerry & Kat Drovdahl of Fir Meadow in Twisp, WA.  I had been admiring the Tempo LaManchas for a few years, specifically Katya and Notta.  When I found out that Philippe was for sale, off we went to Washington state (nearly to Canada)!
 
Philippe is a very showy and sweet buck.  He has a beautiful head, sharp, uphill front-end, and a wide, level rump.  He is very correct and is level over the top.  Philippe earned Jr. RGCH at the 2002 Dist. 7 LaMancha Buck Specialty.  His daughter was BJDIS over 90 doelings!  His daughter, Lucia, in our herd, is very competitive and places at the top of her class, winning Dist VIII (Madera) RGCH with two 1st udders in class to her credit this year, as well.  We are very happy with the consistency of type and the quality we are seeing in his get.  He puts a real nice set to the hindlegs on his offspring.  Progeny have all been good-sized with excellent length of body.
 
Philippe improves milk production and overall area of attachment and height to the rear udder.  Two-year-old daughter, Lucia, will make 3000 lbs. this year.  Yearling daughter, Halley, easily earned her star.  
 
He was worth the trip!  Thank you, Kat for letting us bring him home.
 
Semen available 5/$125.

Merlin is the newest buck in our herd.  We thank Jeanne Koploy DVM, owner of the Elkhorn herd for allowing him to join us!  Merlin is the result of the breeding of two Spotlight Sale animals, and we're hoping it'll be magic.  He is related to our herd through both his sire and dam.  Merlin is very good in feet and legs and level over the topline.  First kids look good with good general appearance, length,  and smoothness of blending. 
 
Daughters are freshening with productive mammaries with very good texture.  Priscilla, yearling milker, has scored E in udder texture and V in mammary.

Thanks to Scott Bice of Redwood Hills Dairy for selling us this beautiful guy!  I went to Redwood Hills looking at does from which I would like to buy a buckling.  I was specifically looking for a doe with correct front leg set, nice feet, and a chest out in front where it should be.  Walking to the barn I noticed a white doe that I liked the look of.  Inside the barn I was able to look at her more closely, and saw that she was a wide, powerful doe standing on correct feet and legs, and lots of rear udder attachment, as well.  Lots of body capacity, too.  I discovered she was bred to Daredevil, and I knew I'd found what I was looking for.
 
Sadly, Luna died shortly after kidding triplets.  The milk star I'd hoped she'd earn at Redwood Hills was not to be, nor a new appraisal score.  Previous to Scott owning Luna, she had two appraisal scores and two short lactations.   Pictured below is Rover's dam, Luna and her daughter, Annie Oakley.  Annie won Supreme Udder at the 2005  CA State Fair Youth Div., & Luna won Res. Supreme Udder.  Annie also won Res. Supreme Champion & Supreme Udder at the 2004 CA State Fair Youth Div..  The GCH lineup shown at the 2005 CA State Fair Youth Division is Luna, followed by daughter, Annie Oakley, an unrelated doe owned by the same breeder, and yearling, Twinkie, a Luna grand-daughter.  Impressive!! 
 
Rover is just what I'd hoped for and more!  He is level over the topline with a wide rump, and continues to deepen and grow.  He has a sweet, happy personality.  The color was an added and unexpected bonus.  We'll see how Rover crosses with our herd.  I am looking for him to add strength and  bone, producing animals that are structurally correct, while enforcing the nice mammaries we have now.
