Super Saga was the Premier Alpine Sire at both the 2007 & 2008 National Shows.  He has sired some lovely animals in the Kickapoo Valley herd. Saga's daughters excel in the height of rear udder, smoothness of fore udder, correctness of feet and legs. and dairyness.  Aware and Auburn to Saga for mid-March freshenings.

   Sire's Dam:  GCH Goodwood's Ranchman Jamieson

   Dam's Sire: Missdee's RM Magnate

   Dam's Dam: GCH Missdee's Nell (1991 Reserve National Champion & Best Udder)

Nilan's dam was one of our favorite does owned by Gene and Charlotte Dershewitz of the Missdee's herd out in the Pacific Northwest.  We loved the style of the Missdee's Alpines, particularly their beautiful front ends and well supported, capacious mammary systems.  Our "S" line descends from a colorama doe purchased from the Missdee's herd in the mid-1990s, and we thought we'd like to bring a bit of their genetics back into the herd.  We AI'd Amelie to Nilan recently this fall, so we are waiting to see if the breeding was successful.

2008 Starbuck First Place Senior Get-of-Sire

(L. to R. Rhumba, Knotneer MRS You Say Tomato (owned by Anna Severson) & Rhone

Starbuck has played a major role in the development of our Toggenburg breeding program and at 8 years of age, he is still going strong. He is the sire of Rhone and Rhumba, as well as other top performing Toggenburg does throughout Minnesota. He is beautifully-bodied and has passed his size, correctness, and strength on to his offspring. In 2006 and 2008 he was Premier Toggenburg sire at the Minnesota State Fair and had the first place Senior Get-of-Sire. He also sired the first placed Aged Doe at the 2006 Minnesota State Fair and the 2008 Toggenburg Breed Leader, Ru-Ridge Starbuck Trinity.

We look forward to the freshening of three new Starbuck daughters this spring. 

Starbuck was collected in both October of 2006 and November of 2007. His semen is marketed and sold through Biogenics Ltd.

*B Sunshine Alehs Alioth    2-09 87 (VEV) 2007

     Dam's Sire:  *B Sunshine Laru Laramie

     Dam's Dam:  Sunshine Nominate Alehr 4-06 87 (VEVV)                                                                      

Whipoorwhil (Wave's last daughter from 2006) and Walnut are both sired by Alioth. Although Whipoorwhil was sold earlier this spring, she had a nicely shaped and well supported mammary system.  Walnut is quite correct on her feet and legs and angular throughout.  Alioth himself is quite striking, exhibiting a lot of dairiness and angularity throughout.  His line in the Sunshine herd is quite refined, dairy and feminine.  Alioth will be used heavily this fall.

*B Neshaminy Acres KRN Bellringer   2-04 91 (EEE) 2007

Sire:  Neshaminy Acres Ranger Kameron

     Sire's Sire:  Rowe's Maestro Ranger

     Sire's Dam:  Neshaminy Acres Patron Katie

Dam:  GCH Neshaminy Acres KS Libertybell - EX 91

     Dam's Sire:  Neshaminy Acres PRN Kristopher

     Dam's Dam:  Neshaminy Acres Patron Bell

Bellringer is quite correct, particularly on his feet and legs, and exhibits a lot of width throughout. We first noticed Bellringer's dam Libertybell at the 2006 Minnesota State Fair, where she was the first place 4-year old and Reserve Grand Champion to Rhone.   She has since finished her championship and was named Best Senior Doe in Show at the very competitive Iowa State Fair in 2007 and was the third place 5-year old at the 2008 ADGA National Show.  Rhiesling and another daughter Rhubarb (later sold) are the first two milking daughters from this herd.  Both are quite dairy, exhibit a lot of mammary capacity and have beautiful heads.  

Legendairy Rhone's Rioja 

Sire:  *B Neshaminy Acres KRN Bellringer (see above)

Dam:  CH Legendairy Starbuck Rhone

     Dam's Sire:  +*B Marshland Regal/J Starbuck

     Dam's Dam:  CH Legendairy Worthy Rhondelet

Rioja is a full brother to Rhiesling, who was the 5th place milking yearling at the 2008 National Show. He is strong, correct, dairy and possesses width throughout. We have bred him to the majority of our young stock, as well as to Promise and Wallflower. The cross with Wallflower is especially intriguing because of the close line-breeding on Rhondelet and Wave. We have a lot of confidence in this young buck, but because he is closely related to a good portion of the herd, he is for sale. If he is not sold, he will be available for lease in the fall of 2009.

Planned AI Sires:

Sire:  B&R B/C John Travolta
     Sire's Sire:  GCH Dionysius Cici's Chivas Regal ++*B
     Sire's Dam:  CH Oremus Just Fine

Dam: GCH Oremus Jem
     Dam's Sire:  *B Oremus Julian
     Dam's Dam:  GCH Oremus Jaimie

The Oremus Toggenburgs were well established as one of top Toggenburg herds in the upper Midwest.  Dandie is linebred on two bucks that have historically worked well in my herd -- Chivas Regal and ++*B GCH Mount Douglas Key Principle.  Dandie's daughters include Sunshine Dandie Aweir (2-07 91 EEEE) who was the 2nd place 2-year old at the 2003 National Show and GCH Sunshine Dandie Zashti, the fourth place 3-year old at 2004 National Show.  Dandie also sired the 2nd placed Aged Doe -- Sunshine Dandie Traem II at the 2008 National Show.  His daughters tend to be sharp, dairy and angular.  Rhone has been AI'd to Dandie for a mid-March freshening.
