Extasia has been slow to mature but worth the wait!   She has an incredible high, wide mammary system.  She is very graceful and smooth on the move and has strong pasterns.  Extasia earned her second BIS win at our May 10th show and then went on to be BIS in both rings on May 25th!  She has been a part of the undefeated Udder Way Panama Jack Get in 2002.

D:Trinite Idyll's Protege

Wild Heart has a typical Panama Jack udder being high, wide, well extended in the fore with small, pretty teats.  She has shown well, always placing 1st or 2nd in her class.  We would like to see her rump more like her sister Abby's.  She has leveled out more with each freshening, but is still a bit steep.  She has produced impressive daughters with each freshening. 

Wild Heart still looks good at 10 years old.

Caitlyn's pride and joy, Bree is totally spoiled!!  Caitlyn will not allow anyone else to show her and loves to share bananas with her!  Bree has improved with each freshening.  She is an extremely correct four year old.  She has straight forelegs, sharp withers, a long lean neck, gorgeous rump and a very well attached udder. 

We were disappointed that Bree's linear score went down.  She looks even better than last year.

Bree now has 2 Gideon daughters that are beautiful, Altrece Chelsea and Altrece Raven.  She is still beautiful at 8 years old.

3 years old above, 4 years below

Bree is pictured above just after winning GCH on May 15th!!!   Bree was GCH and BOB over 5 other GCH does on May 30, 2004!

DS:GCH Altrece Single Six

Montana is very eye-catching with an uphill walk, smooth motion and correct feet and legs.  She has a very pretty udder with  good teat size and shape.   She is beginning to really make her mark in our herd.   She consistently produces excellent offspring regardless of whom she is bred to.  We kept her 2006 son sired by Aragorn and we repeated that very successful breeding.

Montana earned a GCH leg on May 26, 2003!

Flowers was my pick of the 2002 milking yearlings and her second freshening proves what a beautiful doe she is maturing into.  Her mammary is beautifully attached and well extended in the fore.  She won her class the only time we showed her in 2002 as a milking yearling.  She is pictured to the right winning a competitive 2 year old class in April 2003, and was part of our 1st place Dairy Herd at the same show.

Flowers again won her class at the Pima County Fair and was part of the 2004 1st place dairy herd.

Amber is my absolute favorite of the 2001 kid crop.  She is tall,  sharp and long bodied -- extremely correct in general appearance and dairy character.  She easily earned her dry leg also going BIS as a dry yearling.  This doe has a wonderful personality in addition to being an outstanding show animal.  Amber is another example of the style we are breeding for.  She has several exceptional daughters in our herd. Her son, Altrece Amber's Alladin, sired by Jrumalon is working in the Lesniak Hill herd in NY.

Amber was Res. GCH on July 12th, 2003 to a finished doe earning another restricted leg. She was Res.GCH to Montana Heart on May 15, '04 and GCH in both rings of our May 29 show!

Sea of Love has shown well so far in 2003,  placing 2nd or 3rd at each show.  She is smoothly blended and has a pretty udder.  She was part of out 1st place Senior Get of Sire at the Pima County Fair in April, 2003.

Red is our model for our cheese logo! She has many lovely daughters and has crossed well with several different lines. 
  
 

Red Ridinghood is a favorite for her adorable face and sweet disposition.  She freshened with a shapely, high, wide mammary system.  She has a level top line and great spring of rib.  She earned 1 GCH milking leg and 1 Res. GCH on May 25th, 2003.

Photo May 2003

Bramble easily earned her dry leg in 2002. She excels in general appearance and is sharp and angular.  Her mammary system is also beautiful and productive. She was 4th place in a large, competitive class at her first 2004 show.

Bramble was Res. GCH at the Yavapai Couny Fair in September 2004!  Pictured below that same day.

CO-SUPREME ALL-AMERICAN 2005!

We finally have a daughter in the herd, Altrece Lustberry, sired by Gideon.  She is a milking yearling with a lot of promise. 

2008: Bramble freshened with beautiful twin does by Tulane.  She looks wonderful as a 5 year old.

Bramble in April 2005

She may not be a large doe but she is excellent in structure and perhaps the most productive doe in the herd. 

   Bramble was 6 x BOB in 2006!
Bramble is still milking 7 lbs per day at 330 days fresh.

BOB at both of the 2007 shows we attended so far!

Tazo is a longer, taller version of Brambleberry.  She has a lovely rear udder and a smoothly blended foreudder that could use a bit more forward extension.  She has her dry leg and a BJDIS win.  We took her to her first milking show in August 2005 where she was 4 x 1st.  She was complimented on her lovely general appearance, dairy character and rear udder.  Considering the fact that she freshened almost two weeks early on January 30th, her lactation has been very level and she continues to fill her udder easily.

  
 August 2005

Tazo has two very pretty two year olds in the herd sired by *B Lucky Star's QK Platinum Paint.

In 2007 she had triplets by Jolt, 2D 1B.  She is milking extremely well.

One of three lovely 2002 doe kids from Montana.  Heart is sharp and tall at the withers, deep in the heart and wide throughout.  Montana Heart freshened with one of the best yearling mammaries for 2003. 

As a two year old Heart easily finished her championship and has been 2 x BOB!

yearling milker, July 2003

Unfortunately, we have not been able to get Heart bred the past two years.

Breeze had never left the farm until September 2004 when we took her to the Yavapai County Fair.  As a yearling she had a severely bent right front leg due to a mineral deficiency. It is about 85% improved so we thought we'd show her.  She placed 2nd in a very competitive 2 year old class and was part of the 1st place Sr. Get of Sire for Dreamhaven Hannah Montana with sisters Heart and Montana Sky.  Breeze has a tremendous will to milk and is a deep bodied, easy keeping doe.  Her 3 year old daughter by Gideon is very promising.

Dallas is exceptional as a 3 year old.  Her first show out she was Res. CH to her dam, Montana Sky!  Dallas has pink pigment on both sides of her rear udder arch, so you have to look carefully to see where her udder really is.  Dallas was part of our first place Generations class with her dam Montana Sky and her daughter Rio 2 years in a row.  Her Cairo daughter Savannah has finished her CH for her owner Beth Kennelley.

This line has a tremendous will to milk.  Dallas, her dam and aunts come out FULL at every milking.

S: Altrece Ascalon
D: Milk River Flame       

This doe is what we are looking for in body type and style! She has her dry leg and a BIS win. Flame is a tall, dairy doe with a high wide rear udder and strong medial.  Her large teats really take away from her otherwise excellent mammary system.  Flame has three beautiful daughters, Posh, sired by Cairo, 2005 and 2006 daughters by Emmenee, (see Divine by Choice). 

She is pictured to the right in April 2004.

  Five years old

Treasure has been very competitive in the Champion Challenge class with at least 6 BOB wins and 2 BDIS wins, including the 2004 AZ State Fair. She is long bodied with an excellent topline and rump.

She is pictured to the right in May of 2004, without much milk.  Her mammary system is well attached with a strong medial and lots of extension to the foreudder.

We think she will be an asset to our herd and we are anxious to get some daughters from her.

2006 Show Wins! 2 x GCH!

These photos don't do Beige justice....She is a smooth, correct doe.   Her Gideon daughters are both lovely. Beige recently placed 2nd in a very competitive three year old class.

Addie has one milking leg and 3 Res. SRCH wins. She is very correct and has a beautiful, productive udder.  She is a shorter style doe like her dam but is sharp and dairy.

This is Wisteria in 2004.  She has grown into a very tall, long doe with sharp withers and good angularity. She has two very nice daughters in the herd sired Aragorn.  We hope to get some good photos of her this spring.

Legally has improved with each freshening.  She has matured so nicely over the past two years. I love going back and looking at her yearling photos and then looking at her now!  She has filled out her beautiful frame and is milking very well.  She reminds us so much of the White Knight daughters.  In addition to being high headed, long and level over the topline and correct in feet and legs she has a wonderful personality. This doe is ideal in angularity in my mind and is a great example of excellence in dairy character.

Legally at 2 years-Res. GCH that day!

Wish excels in general appearance and is a dairy, well balanced doe.  She freshened with a beautiful mammary with excellent teat size and placement.  We think she has an exciting future ahead of her!

Update! Wish was GCH in 2 rings, and Res. GCH in one ring of the Arizona Caprine Classic!  She now has two legs toward her permanent CH.

Wish was GCH and BOB on August 27th, finishing her championship! She was the only doe to beat Bramble in CH Challenge this year.

Claire was shown for the first time in April of 2006 where she was GCH and BUOB!

Savannah is a long bodied, smoothly blend doe. We are very anxious to see her as a three year old.  Her mammary system is beautiful with an excellent rear udder, udder floor and teat placement.

This photo was taken in April 2005 shortly after Savannah freshened.  She has really grown and matured over the winter.  She has a lovely two year old Gideon daughter in the herd and an adorable yearling sired by Raintree Eros Winddancer, Altrece Elizabethtown.

We are using Savannah's son Legend, also sired by Winddancer.

Happily is very smoothly blended and level over the topline.  We lost her dam this year after freshening.  She had an excellent mammary system and showed well in our herd, being undefeated in her class for 3 years.

Happily at home at milking time, unclipped.

Dry Yearling

Happily has freshened with a beautiful, milky udder very similar to Legally.  She has a pretty two year old Tulane daughter.

2006

Thanks to Robin and Stephanie Mauldin for the opportunity to own Pride.  She has two legs towards her championship.  Her dam, Margarita was an exceptional Tanner daughter.  Tanner was a ME's-Ranch Dutch Treat son sired by Hammerich's Alex-April Czar that did very well for our herd.  We are very excited to have a pretty Mac daughter in the herd!

"Do" weighed only 1 pound when born. She was like a little wind up toy! You would never know it now at 4 years old.

She has a beautiful rear udder with excellent medial and teat placement.  Her rump is wide and level as is her loin.  She was shown for the first time in April of 2006 and placed 2nd to her paternal sister Beige Fusion in a competitive class. 

Res. GCH May, 2006!

Do has a gorgeous daughter, Bride in Overdrive, who is sired by Altrece Slip Me A Mickey.  Her son by Gideon appraised EC!

Wedd is very eye catching with her beautiful bay coloration and white belt.  She was Res GCH at the first show of 2006! She has an exceptional mammary system and is level and stylish.  She has two gorgeous daughters sired by Tulane who are very similar to her.   We love this doe!
