Thanks to Amos

See the new sales list
for 2012.
I have been breeding
toggs for almost 50 years. It sure doesn't seem that long but I did start when I was in 4H. My herd has always been small. This
year I will freshen 22. Now that my children
are grown I handle the herd essentially by myself so I have to keep
the numbers down.
I have had my
animals classified/linear appraised at least every other year since
the programs started. All of my does are appraised at 86-92, with
nearly all mstured does scoring excellent!
I enjoy showing at 4-5 fairs and several club shows each year, most
within a 2 hour drive from home. All of my milkers are shown at the
fairs as I have no one at home to milk for me when I am gone. I seldom
have dry or retired does.
I have consigned several toggs to the Spotlight Sale, including the buck Locksmith in 1998
and he topped the sale, going for $3550!
I have exhibited at all the ADGA National Shows in California since I started in goats including the 2009 show in Sacramento and at the 2007 show in Wyoming and the 2002 show in Colorado.
Thanks to Trisha
Walker I added an exciting new togg herdsire Huricane-PM RBM New Guy
in 2008 and his only daughter to freshen as a yearling is the
beautiful CH Eder's Zenyatta . Neshaminy Acres Codon Bramah is the AI sire of my other togg herdsire, Eder's Yachtsman.
I also am using a buckling sired AI by Mount-Douglas SBJP Potential.
The only alpine buck here currently is
Andretti, a buckling sired by SG Redwood Hills Revolution Speed. He is
a large very correct sundgau. AI's include SGCH Milar-Farms Royal
Image and Shahena'ko Sumo Tierro and possibly one to SGCH Cherry Glen
TRI Mojave.
Look for more info and updates
soon.
I follow a CAE
prevention program, testing through WSU every year. My herd is currently
100% CAE negative. Any kids I pull as well as all pre-ordered kids
if requested are raised on heat treated colostrum and pasteurized
milk . I do allow some of the does to raise their own kids.
