2010 LA:  83 +E+

Shazam arrived here on 7/1/08 and is 4 months old in the photo above.  He is from the Rosasharn farm and has quite the fine pedigree.  His maternal grand dam was the 2005 AGS National Best Udder doe! 

7/15/10:  Shazam has gone to join Teena Bagwell's herd at Gypsy Moon Nigerians, along with  Rosasharn SP Aurora.  We will miss him greatly but have retained several beautiful daughters and a handsome buck kid.

Awards!

Tempo earned his first leg toward MCH at the Northern Lights Dairy Goat Association Show in Marshfield, Wisconsin in June 2007 under judge Matt Casselman!  He won over some very outstanding bucks.

On June 14, 2008 Tempo won his second championship leg, winning Reserve Champion under judge Jennifer Lohman-Peterson at the Nigerian Dwarf Specialty Show held in Marshfield, Wisconsin.

NC PromisedLand RC Obama *S *B

DOB: 1/20/09

I kept two 2010 buck kids and 7 daughters out of Obama so he has been sold and is going to sire some beautiful kids at Meghan Namaste's herd at   Dancing Angels Goats.

12/18/09:  Tested for CAE & Johnes - results negative

Obama shown clipped at 18 months old. 

News Flash!  Obama's dam Breezy won the High Production Award at the 2010 ADGA National Show! 

8/29/10:  ADGA just released their 2009 Top Ten Breed Leaders for Production and Breezy made the top ten in all three categories, placing #8 for production, #4 for butterfat, and #5 for protein!

Obama is a heavily moon spotted gold and black buckskin kid. His pedigree is filled with some amazing animals. His maternal grand dam, Bridget, was the 2004 AGS National Champion, and his maternal great grand dam, Felicia, was the 2003 AGS National Champion.  His dam, Breezy, is line bred on ARMCH Caesar's Villa CBS Stetson ++*S, a buck that truly left his mark on the Nigerian Dwarf world. This boy's paternal grand dam, Witch Hazel, was the 2005 AGS National Show Best Udder, and his paternal great grand dam, Water Lily, was the 2000 AGS National Champion. His sire, Cauldron, is line bred on +B ARMCH Rosasharn's Tiger L +*S E, another highly influential buck in the Nigerian world.  Cauldron is also the littermate brother of Shazam's dam, Bewitched.  I am looking for Obama to contribute flat rumps, great teat size, strong medials, and overall exceptional mammary systems.  If little Obama can live up to the potential of his pedigree, he should be outstanding!  Thank you Keith and Marie!

Lost Valley KW Excaliber *S

DOB:  1/16/07

9/10/10:  Tested for CAE - results negative

Excaliber has joined Beth Keene's herd at My Own Private Idaho Farm but I used him on several of my nicest does before he left.  He will be greatly missed.

2010 LA:  86 VG VEV (two first freshening daughters were appraised and both received scores of 88!)

 

A very handsome (and hairy) Excaliber is pictured above in the spring of 2010.  Don't you just love his beard!

Excalibur at 2+ Months Old

We have anxiously awaited the arrival of this flashy buckskin Kingwood son and he certainly was worth the wait.  Thanks Audrey & Amy!  His litter mate brother, Pegasus, was retained by Lost Valley as a herd sire.  His older brother Lost Valley KW Orion *S is 1 leg away from his MCH and Orion's sister Lost Valley KW Casseopeia already has her junior leg.  Hopefully Madison will pick up her last leg this coming show season and follow in both her sire & dam's hoofsteps. 

 News Flash!  Madison finished her championship at the Houston Livestock Show and Orion won his Master Championship on 6/2/2007!

Our sympathies to Amy & Audrey at Lost Valley Nigerians on the loss of Kingwood on May 20th, 2007.  He was one of the most influential bucks in the history of the Nigerian Dwarf breed and will be greatly missed. 

Awards!

Excaliber took 1st in Senior Yearling Bucks in the second show at the Northern Lights Dairy Goat Association's Summer Show in Marshfield, Wisconsin on June 14, 2008 and went on to win Reserve Champion under judge Emily Thompson, earning his first ADGA championship leg. 

ARMCH Lost Valley Callisto, Excaliber's grand dam, just became the 2008 AGS National Grand Champion Senior Doe!  Congratulations Amy and Audrey!

MCH Lost Valley KW Pegasus, Excaliber's littermate brother, was named the 2008 ANDDA All American GCH 2-Year-Old Buck!

Cassandra, Excaliber's first daughter born (out of Xplicit), freshened with a very pleasing udder at My Own Private Idaho Farm.  Photo of Cassandra's first fresh udder is courtesy of Beth Keene.

Update:  Excaliber's dam, Madison, was #9 High Milk, #9 Butterfat, #9 Protein for 2009 AGS 305 DHIR!
