At Right, Assassin's Sire:  GCH Windrush Farms IRS Charmer - 4-06 89 (VEV)


Assassin's pedigree contains some of the strongest representatives of French Alpine genetics.  We have long admired Anzella for her beautiful general appearance, tremendous style, and longevity.  Charmer was the premier sire at 2014 National Show and has sired some very fancy offspring including GCH PJ-Baileys' Charmer Apphia, a full sister to Assassin.  We are looking forward to seeing kids on the ground later this spring.  We thank Pleasant Grove Dairy for the opportunity to lease Assassin!

Wingding's Dam: CH Kickapoo Valley Saga Whimper - 5-06 EX 92 (EEEE)

Whimper is one of our favorite does in the Pleasant Grove herd. Not only is she a beautiful doe, but she also has tremendous size, dairy strength, and presence.  Wingding himself is tall and upstanding with excellent length of bone, dairy character, and style.  He is also a paternal brother to our own Pleasant-Grove Zen Xercise who is a promising 2-year old.  Xercise was Reserve Senior Champion at the 2013 MN State Fair and the third place milking yearling at the 2012 National Show.

Longitude - Fall 2012



 Longitude's Dam:  CH Pleasant-Grove SSO Length, 2011 Reserve National Champion

We greatly admired Length for her strong, long, and correct frame, and her beautiful mammary system.  We see a lot of potential in our Amen daughter, A & W, and see the sire's side of Longitude's pedigree complementing our genetics well.

  Longitude sired our 1st place Intermediate Kid at the 2013 National Show, Kara-Kahl PGL Almond.  He also sired the 1st place Junior Kid and 3rd place Senior Yearling!  We are very excited about the promise these young does exhibit and are excited about freshening them next spring!

1st Place Senior-Get-of-Sire, 2013 National Show

We bought 5 more straws of Saga this year after watching our Saga daughter, Ajuja, mature into a lovely, competitive doe. We were pleased that she could be a part of the 1st place Senior Get, a win that truly demonstrates the lasting influence this buck has had on the Alpine breed.  Saga is increasingly in the background of many of our Alpine pedigrees.

Golden Boy has sired many champion offspring over the years. He is closely linebred on the highly influential GCH Wa-Shaw-Me Snowbird and was used most extensively by the Sunshine herd. Other notable daughters include CH Iron-Rod Golden Style, who appraised 91 EEEE and Hoach's Golden Longing, who appraised 89 VVVE. Golden Boy is listed here because is he is found multiple times in the extended pedigrees of some of our best Alpines.  We still have several straws in the tank!
