2007- Is starting of nicely. God is good. We are thankful
that our girls are past the move year and have had some down time to be ready for whatever this year should bring...
The National Toggenburg Club named two of our oldest homebred togg does-
now coming 2 year olds. For All American Dry Yearling we have Fir Meadow Peg Vallarta and for Reserve All American
Dry Yearling we have Fir Meadow Peg Virtue. We can't tell you how excited we were and we were able to share the
good news with their sire, Whitehawk Fabio's Pegasus, who resides here. :)

Rosine clock in over #3000 of milk. This is Nasturium's 5th year in a row and Rosine's 2nd. We are very proud

of this show we have 5 ADGA Best In Show doe ribbons- on five different does and in both breeds.
Douglas County, OR Aug 7. This is a combined
sanction smaller show, but not lacking quality- there were does there that have Best in show wins at other larger open shows....
no champion challenge class either so no best of breed awards so our GCH in their prime years stayed home. GCH
on Timbrel, RGCH on a 'grandaughter' of ours- Fir Meadow sire and dam, jr CH Whimsical, jr RCH on Posey. experiemenal-
Jr RCH on Tillie, jr RCH on Blessed. Toggs: we had the only ones- GCH Virtue, RGCH Freedom, jr CH on CeCe and jr RCH
on baby Faith. Virtue also went BDIS!...

BUIS on Tickle! jr CH on Wiese, jr rch on Whimsical- 1st day. 2nd day was rgch on Xinnia and GCH on Kopper
and a BJDIS on Kopper!!! We took all the groups as well.... on toggs, Freedom was GCH both days, Virtue
was RGCH day one and Vanilla RGCH day two. CeCe was jr ch day one, and baby Faith was GCH day two.
Too bad toggs didn't sanction... We were told by the judge later that the choice for bdis was between our togg
(freedom) and the 8yo pretty nubian that got it. Still need that elusive final leg on Freedom :).
Oregon State Fair, Salem OR Sep 3 Wow.
I know we've said this before, but I continue to be amazed at how the Lord allows us to be blessed. Judge: Joan
Dean Rowe. Tough show, serious competition. Unfortunatly Nasturium was real sick, so did not look well. We still
had to present her to obtain her special Herrington Lifetime top lamancha milker award- over 20,000 lbs of milk now,
but did scratch her from all groups so she could be returned to her stall. She is MUCH better now. Lets see, in
the final lineups (1st & 2nds) we had for juniors: Xochitl, Wiese, Whimsical. Whimsical took GCH and BJDIS!
Wiese took RGCH. Lineups for seniors: Wisteria, Veilchen, Shekkinah (1 entry, but lots of nice things said), Whiskey,
Rosemary, Daiquiri, Nasturium, Champion Challenge: Rosine took BOB!, Keeper a 3rd. 1-3 udder placings
garnered on Wisteria, Rejoicing, Veilchen, Vivace, Timbrel, Shek, Rosemary, Whiskey, Daiq, Nast, Rosine, Keeper. 1st jr get
for Valiant, 1st sr get for Monsoon, 1st produce I believe was for Nast, most other groups had kids since we scratched
Nast.and were 2 or 3. Really a nice show for us. Toggwise Virtue took a 1/1 udder, Freedom
a 2/2udder . Virtue went RGCH and the selection for rgch was between Virtue and Freedom. They also took 1st produce
of dam :O). We were awarded Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor for the Lamancha breed.
Tule Lake, CA - Sept 8th. Our last show
of the year. We took a smaller string as AOP had our and most other breeds in it... There
was other strong open show competition there. We simply were amazed to get 1st in every class except the jr doe class,
where Posey took 2nd. The kid lineup (combined sanction) had Ce Ce, Xcellent Faith, and Whimsical in it.
The Sr lineup had Wisteria, Virtue, Timbrel, Shekkinah, and Rosine in it. Virtue togg went GCH then BDIS and BUIS.
Timbrel went RGCH for a full milking leg over 52 other goats. Her 2nd leg. We feel blessed!
Spotlight: Our 2004 nomination,
a lamancha doeling, was sold at the Spotlight sale in Albuqurque. Trillium has earned her GCH dry leg for her new owners.
We can plan to ground transport.
We are near I-5 and can transport into Calif and into WA. Reasonable shipping charges with health papers
required.
Currently we airship
at buyers cost from Medford Oregon and do allow and encourage prearranged farm pickups.
Many blessings!
