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!

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.

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

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.

We are thrilled to have
this young buck. His dam Starburst was an outstanding animal. Anna
had the good fortune of judging her at the advanced age of 9, and she was the
very definition of longetivty, showing incredible correctness and productivity.
In addition, she has 3 daughters that have earned their championships and/or SG
designations. The sire's side is icing on the cake. Rhoyal (and his
twin brother Rhubric) have already sired some very fancy dry stock, including
the first place senior yearling at the 2013 National Show! That senior
yearling also happens to be a full sister to Star Trekker. We see
Trekker's pedigree complimenting our own genetics in multiple ways, and he's
very correct in his own right.

Amethyst in
2011, Dam of Chippewa Pearl in 2011, Granddam of Chippewa
We have long admired the KBARC herd in North Carolina and when the
opportunity arose to add this young buck to our breeding program, we were
thrilled. "Chip" is extremely dairy and wide in the rear with very correct feet
and legs. With a pedigree stacked with consistency that harks back to
Dairy Delight foundation stock, and that also includes the 2011 Reserve National
Champion, we are looking forward to seeing how he will cross on our herd.
Chip's dam, Amethyst is maturing nicely and was named Senior Champion at the
2012 North Carolina State Fair.
Update: We retained 2 Chip
daughters in 2013 and they are both striking, correct does. Chip has seen
a lot of use this fall, and we are excited to freshen a new crop of kids by him
this spring.

Link to Picard's Full Pedigree
Picard's dam is a doe in the Neshaminy Oaks herd that we have long admired for her extreme dairyness, size and scale, and productivity. We obtained Picard last fall, but held back on using him because we felt he needed a little extra time to grow. Well, grow he did! He has really matured this summer and we are very impressed with his size and scale, legginess, and beautiful topline and rump. He is a beautiful buck, and we look forward to using him on some of our best does this fall.
*Unfortunately, Picard has not settled any does this fall. As a result, Chip is seeing quite a bit more use than we anticipated.

Burgeon is extremely dairy, wide in
the rear, sharp, and correct. HIs dam, Burta, has borne some highly consistent
sons in herds across the country and was an exceptional representative of the
breed for both type and production. After our success with Walnut, and
in thinking about our ongoing efforts to improve dairyness and milk production,
we decided that a Sunshine buck would help us with those goals. And, we were
thrilled to get a Burta son that also incorporates the genetics of one of the
nicest Dandie daughters ever -- SGCH Sunshine Dandie Zashti.
Burgeon
is back at Sunshine Farms for the 2013 breeding season but may return in the
future. We are happy to report that he sired the 3rd and 5th Place Milking
Yearlings at the 2013 National Show! His semen is available from us or
through Biogenics.

Midwest. He was beautifully-bodied and has passed his
size, correctness, and strength on to his offspring. He has sired breed
leaders for production as well as the 2010 Toggenburg Premier Sire at Nationals, Legendairy Rhumba's Rhett owned by Redbird

The Nimrodel herd was one of the most influential of the

purchased in 1991,
+*B Nimrodel Opera's
Chivas Osage. Yurok was at one time owned by Paula Walker of Walker Farm
Toggenburgs where he sired highly productive does with fancy mammary systems.
In analyzing Yurok's offspring, it seems that over the years, he's been an
especially strong cross on Nimrodel Sausalito daughters, hence our decision to
AI our Sausalito daughter Rhomance to him this fall. We hope she settles,
but if not, we have 3 more straws in the tank and
won't rule out using him in
the future.
