Dawnwind Dairy Goats

3/8/2002 American Alpine

We lost Minuit in 2008, just before showing and Linear Appraisal season.  Fortunately, she had triplet doe kids, and we retained Medesima in our herd.  Minuit was beautiful, long, and extremely dairy.  Her production was always high, and she was able to complete her milking star as a yearling.  Her udder was very soft, pliable, and she was the easiest doe in our herd to milk.  She finished her GCH as a 3 year-old.  She was a 3/4 sister to Magdalena.

Magdalena was just beautiful.  She was our first "home-grown" finished champion, which meant a lot to me.  She showed strength throughout, and had a really snug udder.  Her fore udder extension was really superb.  She passed away in 2008, leaving us with plenty of offspring.  Her two daughters, Measure and Melody, remain in the herd, as does her son, Magnifico. Minuit was her 3/4 sister. At the very competitive MN State Fair, Magdalena placed 7th as a 2 year-old, and 6th as a 3 year-old.  In addition to showing well at ADGA shows, she and Frances won the 2003 Senior Showmanship at the MN State 4-H Dairy Goat Show.

We were thrilled to find GT in 2001, just as we were expanding our herd.  Mark Baden of Olentangy Alpines was moving from Ohio to Washington, and we picked GT up along his trip.  GT was extremely personable, and a beautiful lavender two-tone chamoise (light chocolate brown instead of black).  He improved structure, was extremely tall, had lovely rear udder height, and a beautiful head.  We were very pleased with his kids and how they produced.  We had limited opportunities to show him in MN and WI, where he obtained 2 GCH legs and 4 RGCH wins.  Before we left MN in 2006, GT moved on to a herd in NW WI.

There is no doubt that Prima was my brother Arthur's doe, as she absolutely loved him.  She was one of the three does we obtained from Waiilatpu in 2000, as we returned to showing Alpines.  Prima was the smallest of triplets, and a bit of a late bloomer.  Yet, with outstanding structural correctness, particularly in her front end assembly, she had little problem competing against the bigger girls.  As a milker, she had a beautiful udder to complete the package.  She had very small teat orifices.  She was frequently second to Camilla in the show ring, and finished her GCH as a 4 year-old.  Her influence on our current herd can be seen through Measure (via Proximo) and Copper Wire (via Gnomester).

We obtained Camilla from Waiilatpu as a kid, and she matured into an absolutely gorgeous doe.  Her long, flat topline flows into a wide, level rump, while standing or while on the move.  Her udder is snug all the way around, and her foreudder attachment is really outstanding.  Her head is very nearly ideal.  She finished her GCH as a 3 year-old in the first month of shows, for a total of 5xGCH, 1xRGCH in 8 shows in 2003.  In 2004, she was 3xBOB, and 1xBDIS.  She is a good producer, and acheived her milking star at age 2.  We are excited to have a Camilla daughter, Camisha, back in our herd.  Camilla currently resides at Gahama Goats in WI.

2/19/2000 Chamoisee

Of the three doe kids we bought from Waiilatpu, Majesta was always the longest and the tallest.  She also has an enormous will to milk, and at 4 years old, finally complemented udder capacity with body size.  Majesta consistently threw only doe kids while we owned her, including two permanent champions (Minuit and Magdalena, above).  Her dairy character and milking ability interfered with her showing abilities, as she would usually be on the thin side during the summer.  She easily attained her milking star as a 2 year-old.  Majesta has several RGCH wins to her name.  We are happy to carry on her bloodlines through our "M" lines of bucks and does.

4/7/1995 Chamoise

We obtained McAnix as a kid, from Marianne Sans.  As a yearling, he was injured by another buck and dislocated his hip.  He was never sound on the leg, but he was always happy and otherwise healthy.  We used him heavily through the breeding season of 2001, and he passed away the following year.  His daughter, Minuit, finished her championship, and several other daughters received their milking stars.  He was never appraised or shown because of his injury.
