Ok Ok! We give.... If they are in our herd they are 'one of our favorite does"
or they wouldn't be here :O). We expect that each one has genetic value in improving the lamancha breed- something we
strive for in our breeding program.... Temperment is also very important to us and we have repeatly received compliments
(and repeat customers) on the temperments of the Fir Meadow stock...

Lovable, huggable, quiet temperament! Tall and upstanding, long bone patten with one
of the widest rear udders in the show circuit. And she milks: 4-0 3166. She appraised E on shoulder assembly, rear
legs, back & rump on younger appraisals. Her 2007 5yo appraisal is after she lost a lot of weight from a mycotoxin
(moldy sunflower seed) poisening. Our appraiser said if we could have gotten the weight on and had her scored a couple
months later he could see her at 90... She is holding up well though milking so heavy- still grabbing some BOB in !
Rosine & her dam, produce awesome kids. Rosine's '04 maternal sister was in the spotlight sale. We
have LA 90 son Tob V in our herd. We have been using her 07 son on our 07 doelings (he is yet for sale and is really
really gorgeous!) Rosine's paternal brother, Redemption, earned his first GCH leg as a 3yo at the Dist 8 lamancha
specialty. 06 Son, Whatta Thrill! by Valiant has 5 jr Ch's in. Daughters, Wiese- 4 x dry GCH and two
BJDIS, 2008- 2x RGCH, 1x GCH, & Xochitl GCh dry leg, with 1st/1st udders as a yearling in 2008.
Both Rosine daughters are now finished with Best in Show wins and her son is also finished with a Best in Show win.
All 3 of her kids are LA 91! Update- 2011, her 4 year old is now LA 92! To our surprise she has kidded

Nice sharp dairy looking gal like her dam, we are so pleased to have her! Timbrel
freshened with a beautiful beautiful udder and is among the best lamanchas we think we have bred, also with a wonderful
temperment. She is a smaller lamancha so gets looked over some, but don't miss her- she's been LA 90
and IS a pretty package with a sweet quiet temperment. Her '09 son went jr champion aop's in with alpines/saanens in
both rings in Calif for his owner.

I think upped the quality another notch with this Yarrow! Yarrow freshened with every bit of a Valiant mammary
that we could hope for and she's off to a great start for milk. She will be retained for the show and milk string.
She is an extremely efficient doe requiring almost no grain to milk well from her productive mammary. She is producing
nice milky daughters also. She just improves with each year- her 7 yo appraisal score coming in at 91 EEEE! We have grandaughter
Frittalaria in the herd as well as son Exclusive.

Yodel is really a looker all the way around (when she stands :O) )....
Yodel still looks great as a dry yearling- very correct, very strong feet and legs, dairy, and nice breed character....
She can be a goof sometimes at the shows- wanting to twist her head and walk weird, but we think we have her worked
through that as she does walk very straight and pretty - getting 1sts and a dry leg GCH in :O). Her maternal aunt is
Whimsical. Doeling daughter Bavaria has an RGCH in.
Yodel almost has met all three goals- LA90, should be over 3000# milk now w/ high fat, and needs
1 milking leg to finish her SGCH. If we could count the 5 milking RGCH's..... :)

Due to Desi's late birth day we decided to keep her a dry yearling, even though we could have
bred her late in the season. She is a 3/4 sister to Cherish and is every bit as beautiful. Very
consistent. We will have fun watching her mature. Due to her late birth she is a rather spoiled doeling
and I'm not sure she knows she's a goat... Her photo shows her in a growth stage where she is rump high,
but she has grown through that funky stage. As a dry yearling she still thinks Jerry and I are her parents and requires
some attention every day :) .

love this doeling and she was a presale, that the buyer decided to get a milker from us instead, so we are very pleased
to have her staying in our herd. Beautiful doe, fancy udder, comes into the milkroom FULL of milk even though
she only singled this first kidding so I'm expecting a very good milker here. Keeping her 2015 daughter Frittalaria

Oh what a beautiful and correct little Emmie doeling we have here and of course she has managed to worm

3.2 # in 12 hours. Emmie's dam is milking over 7#'s already just over 1 month fresh from the picture perfect udder that
is full of milk tissue, not meaty tissue and is one of our housemilk goats. She milked over 2000# as a yearling from
a very sound and well attached mammary. Emmies' dam is milking strong her 2nd year and coming into the milkroom serious
to milk. Emerald freshened this first year with every bit of the udder and milk I have come to expect from this line.
this is an exceptionally beautiful doe. We have kept daughter Faith and offer very nice daughter Fjell (fee-el) for
sale.
